Anyone else see Sunday footy show with the glove Cloke wrote vs giants, appears to give hutchy almost Spider-Man like ability.

Don't think it cost giants the game but should more or come of that? Not sure if footy show put some extra mayo on that story put something on the glove but that seemed absurd

Actually a really good demonstration from Hutchy, but I would have liked to see a comparison with legal gloves for grip.

Gloves should only be used if there's a medical reason for them I think. But the Giants went from 24 points up to 30 points down in a quarter and a half where Trav didn't kick any.

GWS were completely blown off the park that day. Cloke was part of that but I'm fairly sure he wasn't the reason they lost the middle two quarters by 11 goals.

One player cheats then the entire team cheats.

That's how it is.

Strange logic. 3 of his 4 goals came in the last 35 minutes of the game when we were already 6 goals in front - do you reckon it's legitimate for Hutchy to suggest that that's what cost them the game?

It could had cost the game who knows. We don't know what would have happened if Cloke didn't have the impact he did/kicked the goals he did... What we do know is that Cloke (and therefore Collingwood) cheated

I was talking as a general concept.

It's a non-issue because the AFL (as usual) are totally incompetent with this aspect of governance.

Use non-approved equipment = fine.

How sticky the glove is doesn't change that.
 
Hutchy ruined a great informative demonstration of why the glove was banned with his over the top nonsense about it costing GWS a top 4 spot..

Does anyone have a side by side comparison shot of the gloves to make sure it was the same model?

The glove certainly fitted Hutchy better than his suit. Apart from the 4 goals Travs game was similar to the one he played against Carlton the week before, which was with a different glove.

Collingwood should be stripped of the 4 points.

It's not just Cloak's output on the day, it's the confidence it gave him and no doubt the team knowing the advantage they had.

Yeah Collingwood gave GWS a 6 goal start because they had 'wonder glove' . If they get stripped of the points for breach of rules so be it, but don't sugarcoat the poor performance of GWS was due to a glove!
 
Just to show what the gloves can do

I didn't sugarcoat anything, here was a clear breach of the rules so they should be stripped of the points. I'm not asking for Giants to get anything.

It's not the reason that Collingwood won, but the punishment is ridiculously light and the outcome of the game (and the season) just highlights that. What if a team goes into the grand final with 15 players wearing the same glove? You just get a small fine for an (apparent) significant unfair advantage. Why not?

I can understand why Collingwood supporters would get their noses out of joint about it, but I think the issue about the light penalty was fair enough. A $1500 fine would be appropriate for wearing the wrong coloured compression shorts, or socks without the AFL logo on them or something. Not an illegal glove. The rules should be changed.

To put it somewhat in perspective, remember the Bombers being fined $20,000 merely for wearing yellow arm bands in support of Ramanauskas and his cancer issues. Yes, the whole team was doing it as opposed to a single player, but something that has a direct impact on the game should be treated far more harshly.

what are you thinking? forcing Collingwood to play Cloke for three more years? or keeping Buckley for another 5?

Cloke is a dud and has to cheat massively to have a good outing. There is no denying that.
