Toast Travis Cloke - 150 games

[Rohan25]

After debuting way back on Anzac day 2005, Travis Cloke will line up for his 150th game in Round 1 this Friday night.

Congratulations Travis, lets hope 2012 sees you follow on from last year and cement your position as one of the best players in the competition.

(And feel free to sign on the dotted line whenever you like - really.)

Gratz Trav.

Might as well enjoy him while we've got him.

Hopefully we can win the flag this year and losing him or Pendles won't hurt as much.

Be great to see Trav have a massive finals series and win the prelim and granny off his own boot. Looks set for a huge year.

 

[Pera]

Won't be long before he notches up his 300th in the black and white at this rate.

Loving your work Travis, let's do it for him this Friday night boys!

 

[Snoop Dog]

yeah no its great but i dont celebrate with as much gusto as I'd like to.

this is just going to be another great long distraction for our Club and it aint going to be positive. Why he cannot get a deal done, commit is beyond me. Not sure why you wouldnt. he knows the place, players, coaches etc so if he doesnt like it he knows and he just just leave. If he does like it then he should stay.

Eddie has to come to party and make him a deal that has him staying. Along with Pendles, Reid and Thomas he is our future.

Grats Travis on 150 games in the black and white and hopefully another 150 to come.

 

[Jedi01]

Has become a beast of a player.

Well done Trav, I will ship you a $5 note to celebrate.

 

[Pera]

Probably one of his rules that he can't accept it

 

[Rusty22]

He;ll celebrate with a bag of goals.
The mans a monster, massive massive unit, scary!

 

[daics_35]

Best player at the club and second best player in the league. Congrats on 150 games big fella.

 

[Mars II]

Is he becoming Collingwoods best CHF ever?

Why is that you always post with such negativity that our gun players will leave us?

When has this even ever happened in recent times?

If every other club can keep their big guns, I'm sure Collingwood won't have a problem at all.

 

[stui magpie]

150 games at such a young age, Premiership player, Copeland Trophy winner, and only just coming into his peak.

Will be a gun for a number of years to come. I don't buy into the speculation about him leaving, all media driven. He'll make a decision at the end of the year.

Well on his way to being the best CHF Collingwood has had in my lifetime. In fact, he probably already is.

 

[Heater39]

70 goal season please Trav

And well done on the 150

Very Sad.

 

[Soul_Pie]

Far out, what a great picture.

Congrats Clokey, you're an absolute star.

C'mon lads and ladettes, this is meant to be a toast thread ...

"I like to raise my glass for a toast to Travis Cloke! Congratulations to Travis for his wonderful achievement of 150 games playing for the Collingwood Football Club. But on a sad note, one day Travis will die. Yes, it's inevitable I'm afraid. And when he dies, he won't be able to play centre half forward for Collingwood anymore. And we're all just going to have to come to terms with that folks ... "

Fixed

 

[cobbly]

Congrats trav! hope you stick around, we need you.

Have to laugh at the thread on the main board, so many people STILL underrating him. On the bright side they are no longer talking about whether he will go to gws, just about whether he is better than jack reiwoldt

 

[Cory]

Congratulations Trav hope you can celebrate by getting a nice 5 goal haul

If every other club can keep their big guns, I'm sure Collingwood won't have a problem at all.

Pretty sure I was confident in the past that Swan and Thomas would stay, and that Pendles was always my concern.

This situation is worse now because unless 7-9 players are happy to play for unders, we have 11 quality players coming out of contract this year, we have to find money for them don't we?

This is all assuming GWS make legitimate real offers to Cloke, Pendlebury or Reid. They won't chase the others.

This is also assuming my hunch that GWS are actually ignoring Collingwood players is wrong, which would be great.

 

[Bay Pie]

Well done Travis. Fantastic effort

Looking forward to a big year from the Beast.

He's amazingly durable, he really does a lot of physical work. Some of those marks he takes with body pressure on him, and he just doesn't seem to get injuries.
