^ don't know if he fared worse at ththe .dogs than he would elsewhere, but in any event he will always be welcome home.
I did not see the last Dogs game, but I gather he screwed up big time with a 50m penalty for umpire abuse. Before that I thought he'd bagged three goals in a game and looked to be coming good before his ribs were broken. So it feels to me as though the case file should still be open.....

Travis spoke highly of the club on a recent on The Footy Show so I'll always respect him, but it's clear he's past it now.
He's been on a slow decline since 2014, but it's become more evident in the past 12 to 18 months.

Agree totally. Would not write him off just yet. |

| it's funny how the media has hardly said a word about him being dropped, infact when bevo drops a player it's good and shows he isn't scared to drop a player yet when bucks drops a player there is a feud and he hates them |

| Surely you're not implying that the media beats up Collingwood stories to sell newspapers? How cynical of you. |

They were very keen to pump up the 'Cloke is back to his best' angle early in the season (with a big, implied, side-serving of Buckley must be at fault).
Now that that story isn't working out for them they're losing interest. Whatever happens, it will never be Bevo's fault. |

This. I mean what did they give up? Pick 75 or something?

I feel like I've heard that somewhere before. |
Yep sounds very familiar. So, Bevo, if you meant "taking care of things" to mean asking Trav to increase his !Q from that of a lobotimised lab rat to that of Stephen Hawking then I believe 'ol Trav may have played his last game for the red, white and blue.

Cloke is a Hall of Fame contender in my opinion. He just needs to find a quality coach who knows how to motivate a big game player like him. Not these seventies haircut types who are biased towards small fart forwards.

I knew he'd run his race with us, but I thought he'd really help the Dogs this year. Guess I was wrong.

No, he was out due to concussion.
