Why is it then, that Cloke's basic kicking action - leaning back and dropping the ball from up high - has been the same throughout his whole career? It seems to me that the coaches have been conned by sports scientists who say you can't change an adults basic kicking technique, all you can do is tinker with it. What a crock! His technique is TOTALLY wrong. For set shots, he needs a total overhaul. He needs to lean forward, hold the ball low over his foot and watch the ball onto his foot - not watch the goals. Until I see some evidence of a significant change to his kicking technique, I will assume the club has given up on him. The poor bastard is trying, but after 10 f*cking years, it should be clear to him (and everyone else) that it aint working. |
how many goals did you kick during your career?

Yeah, but I bet Rudeboy has missed less shots at goal than Trav. In fact Rudeboy has never missed a critical goal, which is way better than Trav.

what trav has to do is start from the basics, do a new run up and just get 1 person to teach him how to kick inside 30 metres.
even eddie said on radio he will teach cloke how to kick at goal |

Nathan Buckley on 360 tonight. So much love.
If I had a girlfriend right now and she was in bed with Bucks... I have to agree with Eddie here... I wouldn't know which side to get in on.
<3 to him. Talking about Cloke and White. Also sticking up for Watts and calling stories of whites 2.2 from the weekend as an issue, lazy journalism. |

Gotta love how Bucks calls a spade a spade, stands up for the players and deals with the media.
The lazy journalism crack was followed up with some lingering eye contact with Robbo who had no response whatsoever.
Although, having seen Bucks close up, unless my GF was an utter pigdog (in which case I'm wondering why I keep her around) I'm getting in her side of the bed every time, thanks for playing.

So you think Cloke's kicking action is fine do you? 
Anyone who has heard Matthew Lloyd talking about Cloke's kicking action knows that it needs major surgery. However, I am yet to see much change in his action over the past decade. It stank 10 years ago and it stinks today. If you can't see that JW, then perhaps you use a white cane. |

chill rudie. clearly, my comment was a wind up. i can't kick over a jam tin so am one not to judge.
tbh, i lose no sleep over cloke's kicking. nothing i can do about it and i am sure the club is doing what it can. i don't carry the angst that others do. it's only one aspect of our game.

110% agree .. Dropping the ball from above his waist and expecting it to land correctly on his foot is gagah suff |
