Post subject: Travis Cloke retiresReply with quote

Congratulations on a wonderful career and being a great servant of the Collingwood Football Club. Despite being maligned, let's all reminisce about the time late in the drawn Grand Final when you kicked a great goal that saved the day for us and led to a premiership the following week. A Collingwood legend of inestimable worth.

Well done Clokey.

We understand why giving it a try at another club was worth the effort, but you will always be a Collingwood champion and premiership player

We should draft him - 1 year contract.
I am actually not kidding - massive tank and KPP.
Why not use him as a foil for others in the forward line - opposition would need to send defender/s to him.
Alternatively, a huge marking wingman.

All the Best to you Trav will always be a Magpie Great and Premiership Player. More " Raw Power" than a Stooges Record.

Over to you now "Damir"... I mean David Cloke for your scathing review of the Western Bulldogs treatment of your son.....

But I don't understand... "Bevo" was going to turn his decline around and make the league pay. I read it right here. Weren't we going to regret letting him go or something? Bevo's teh Awsumnest.

Anyway, congratulation to Trav on a fine career. Dual AA, Copeland winner and Collingwood premiership CHF. Never copped an even break from the scumps either. Strong, durable and a fantastic contested mark, especially at his peak.

246 games for Collingwood playing the hardest position on the field and, at his peak, the best and most important player in the AFL. 441 goals, a further 1,000 inside 50s and over 500 contested marks. The focal point of our last premiership team and all-time great of the Club.

Congratulations on a great career, Travis.

Well Buckley was making comparisons between the two game plans in 2016 if you'll recall.

Correct. years of going up against 2,3 or 4 opponents has taken it's toll.

I think it would be fitting for Trav to do a lap of honour at a Collingwood game next year.

Bevo never claimed he was going to turn it around for Cloke. It was giving him an opportunity to perform on the big stage again after we pushed him out. In reality Cloke was finished as an AFL footballer about 2-3 years ago but many of our supporters didn't see it coming. It has nothing to do with Buckley but everything to do with the evolving game of AFL footy and the slowing down of Cloke as a footballer. Where we are to blame is the ludicrous 5 year contract we offered Cloke and the expectation he could keep playing AA quality football. What we're experiencing now with Mayne is pretty much the same experience with Cloke, footballers we once worshipped as players are now over the hill as viable players. We didn't see it coming with Cloke and we failed (me included) to see the signs with Mayne.

Trav, congratulations on your career.

Especially your time with the Pies as a strong mobile marking forward and a premiership player.

Best wishes for the future.
