From Maxy’s Weekly Show:
That is Pretty Daming and Shows how bad our Forward Line is without Cloke.
Moore has Big Time Potential BUT he is only played 4 Games.
Maxy went to say that team is not Confident going into forward line without clone

You don’t really see the Structure part until he is out.

Reminds me of the recent Couldvebeen champions song to the tune of "No woman, no cry" called "No Travis, no pies!!"

Everyone in my group on Saturday was lamenting the same thing. Watching from the stands as we had more inside 50's than Melburne but still contrived to lose by 6 goals.
We had nowhere to go and no one to kick it to. Sometimes it's as much about what you dont do, as what you actually do.
Cloke draws the best defender, he makes leads, he takes marks, he causes spills, he draws defenders.....
Granted that on some days he's vastly better than others, but his mere presence is vital.
With he and Elliott out we go from 1st for inside 50 marks to 17th !!!!! Talk about falling off a cliff.
Plus when the effort of getting it forward goes to waste, the other indicators will plummet too - clearances, contests etc |

| He is the best big forward in the game and has been since 2011. It's a shame he doesn't kick well for goal from modest distances but 17 clubs would kill to get him. |

| It also highlights our rubbish disposal into the forward 50. When Cloke is there he still marks the long random bombs, but none of our other forwards are capable of doing the same, so the ball goes in and out again. |

And as a crumber, at least you knew he wasn't going to be out marked.
He has been incredibly durable for a player that plays a high impact role, so I also hope this isn't the beginning of those '' old man '' injuries that hit some of the best when they get close to 30.
I am still yet to be convinced that dropping Jesse White was the right decision either, partic with Cloke out. Whites form wasn't great but I cant believe that he and Moore couldn't have worked together creating space for each other on the G. |

I like Travis & I always believed he would stay!
I am also amazed at how many posters on here rode him off, even if he doesn't kick any goals, he always get the best defender.

It's a valid point though, we've had more than enough high draft picks to pick up a KF and he's refused to do so (remember Moore was seen more of a KB), refusing to FS Stewart another blunder, he seems intent on filling the team with HBs or midgets.
Just imagine how bad things would if We lost Cloke for 12 months.

| Stewart is playing as third tall in the GWS seconds. If Cloke went down, what use would Stewart be? |
