Mate, I actually hate saying that.
I'm just dumbfounded how when our blokes are busting their arses to get the pill inside 50M, he is simply unsighted.
Even when he is double-teamed in a contest, his efforts to smash blokes over the spilled ball were borderline gutless.

Was (in the past tense) a Cloke fan but he's lost me now.
Looks great monstering undersized kids but is conspicuous by his absence against decent opposition in recent years. He's a flat track bully now basically.
He's a useless kick still, and when he can't even provide a fukking contest like tonight then he's of no value whatsoever. |

It's not fair to call him a pea heart, however his unintelligence to "captain" the forward line to cope with Broadbent as the extra man was pitiful. Trav as vice captain it's up to you to communicate on ground, create space and leads and blunt Port's tactics. You had 1 kick inside 50 meters all night. Yes 1 kick.
I've seen goal keepers in the Premier league get more than that!

Maybe our $£$%^%%$ midfield could try winning the ball for a change...
But hey blame the forwards for struggling, it was such a good setup tonight with Witts, Grundy, White and Cloke on a wet $£$%^%%$ night! |

Well some of his effort were unfortunately soft.
Should have bashed and crashed in those conditions.
I know their arseholes did.

Eddie, barring the 1st quarter, we got three quarters worth of the pill.
Witts, Grundy, White all contested. Cloke stunk the fukk out of the place.

At least Witts and White kicked a goal and Grundy won some contests.
What did money bags do apart from watch his man take uncontested marks ad nauseum and not go anywhere near providing a contest for the entire night?
Hindsight is a wonderful thing and knowing what we know now Cloke shouldn't have got a game tonight. He was fukking hopeless. |

Cloke is basically completely useless when the ball hits the ground. And on wet nights/days this really highlights that uselessness. Quality defenders know how to beat him, which is stick to him like glue and spoil the ball, that is all they need to do as he is out of the contest from that point pretty much 9.5 times out of 10. He is great now and then against crap sides that play young defenders when he can get a good match up and do his marking/rag-dolling stuff but he is a one trick pony. Unfortunately for us it is an expensive trick we're paying for. Just doesn't do enough consistently for mine, not worth an $800k salary for sure. But, the saddest part is that we have no one better to replace him with.

Elliot not kicking the ball numerous times in a game to Clokes advantage brings Cloke back to the pack very quickly

| He's having a very fine season. Last night, he wasn't up to his usual remarkably high standard. Get over it. |

It's official.
Cloke kicking no points is worse than Cloke kicking to many.
I expect 2.5 next week from you Travis!

We missed Cloke's 0 goals, 4 behinds last night. He could have single handedly won us the game with his inaccuracy.
