Travis Cloke in trouble?

[Extend the Dukes]

Did anyone else see the Melbourne player(Warnock?) and Travis Cloke have a little wrestle today? Nothing sinister so far but then i noticed the dees player bleeding from his left eye. A replay clearly showed that Cloke headbutted him! Something the AFL doesnt take lightly.

Me thinks he deserves at least a week

Or else we can get past the whole "we need opposition key players out of the game in order to win" mindset and thump a full strength Collingwood side

 

[DaveyBlues]

Pretty poor to rely on suspensions, but hey, Travis Cloke probably jumped for joy when Bowzer got injured.

 

[Murphinator]

it would give us a greater chance of winning... it doesn't matter how good a team is, if a key player of the other team is out then you think yay, we have a better chance.

 

[Gouldy]

yeah nahh. give it up.
if he gets a week, goodes should've gotten four. he was wrestling 3 players at one point and in that situation, arms elbows shoulders and heads get thrown around beyond the control of players, so someone is always bound to get a shy one everynow and then.

Haha yea he played pretty ordinary today anyway. Waite can hold him

 

[griggisalegend]

hopefully he gets suspended for at least one match, he played VERY poorly today, not as much spectacular marks as usual, and i dont think he kicked a goal at all, so methinks hes up for a big one against us if he plays

Collingwood aren't as good as everyone thinks they are. So far this year, they have beaten Fremantle (MCG), Richmond (MCG), Essendon (MCG), Melbourne (MCG), West Coast (MCG), Geelong (MCG) and St.Kilda (TD). Aside from Geelong, they have not beaten anyone yet.

Lets see how they go when they face Western Bulldogs (TD rd 13), Sydney (Syd rd 14), Adelaide (MCG rd 15), Kangaroos (TD rd 16), Hawthorn (MCG rd 18), Port (AAMI rd 20), Sydney (TD rd 21) and Fremantle (S rd 22)

 

[Murphinator]

Well we know they got thumped by the Hawks already.
And the Roos beat them as well.

This works both ways HBF

You've beaten Collingwood(MCG), Melbourne(MCG), West coast(Subi), Fremantle(TD), Port(FB).

Yes you beat us but im hearing you are an outside chance for finals, now if we are overrated with four wins in a row(including a pumping of teh raining premeir who hadnt lost until then), then what does that make you guys? not so much an outisde finals chance.

Id also expect us to beat adelaide, Port, Freo and at least sydney once aswell, we should beat the roos who only just scraped past us last time.

Will be a good game none the less

i think he is implying that we are the underdog and that we dont have nething to lose. you do and besides the geelong you havent really proven yourselves at all...

 

[Histrionics]

I was at the game but i didnt see anything.

I was listening to the triple m commentry whilst watching the game and they seem to think that the incident will get looked at.

 

[BlueBelle]

I saw the headbutt as well. Will be interesting to see if he gets sighted.

You can't just say "besides Geelong". We beat the best team in the competition by 86 points. We followed it up with a 100 point annihilation of West Coast, who are poor, but it's 100 points nonetheless. We are (or were, before today) in good form. We played poorly against the Roos, yet were comfortably beating them in the last quarter. Same goes for the Brisbane match. We just let both matches go in the last (disgusting last quarters, something I get angry about to this day).

Anyway, who cares, finals can be discussed when they come about.

You lost to Hawks by 10 goals. I consider Hawks to be the best side in the comp. The dogs beat the hawks, so it will be interesting how the Pies go against them.

I would be happy to concede that a team is only as good as it's last game.
That said. Collingwood are clearly the underdog.
Remembering of course that we have not beaten Melbourne on QB long weekend for four years and it was the highest score we have kicked against them since 2003.
Your blokes are over the moon with the win v Port and rightly so.

Which win has the more merit depends totally on where you sit. They both only earned 4 points and next week is a new book.

Cloke would be unlucky to even get cited I would think.

I know I would rather beat a "full side".

Well Carlton doesn't have a full side so if you win, that'd be why (jokes)

It should be a big, big crowd.
Let's hope it is a good game....Pies by 1 point.(the old saying etc etc.)
It's going to be a long week.

Lets hope it's a big crowd but let's all hope it is Carlton taking away the 4 points!

Gotta love Collingwood fans claiming that because they beat Geelong they are so much better than Carlton. Great teams like Geelong don't get smashed by 86 points just like that, obviously they were off their game that night, great teams don't capitulate like that. As for beating WC by 100 points....are you aware they are at rock bottom as a club and playing poorly against North...well i guess Carlton have played poorly for years now.

Like HBF said, apart from Geelong, Collingwood have proven nothing against better teams, their wins are against the bottom 5 teams, and struggled against the bottom team, if it wasn't for the 3rd quarter what would have happened??

Nobody here are saying Carlton are any better or world beaters, but to hear Collingwood supporters claim they are better than they are is very laughable...the fan who said they should be 9-2 is beyond help.

If Carlton make it a double this weekend, Collingwood are in serious doubt for serious finals contenders, as Carlton are missing many of their best 22, especially down back with Walker, Bower, Jammison all missing.

Will be a very interesting game!!

Please play Harry O on fev again, please!!! but if that fails then please play Natahan Brown....Fev needs a big day out and these two will help!!

I think the more likely scenario is that they will play both on him
