Is this guy the most over rated fwd in the game, 21 goals this season, thats it...our own mitch morton has kicked 40 and jack riewoldt has kicked 32..

Robin Nahas has kicked 21 goals and deledio from the midfield has kicked 19...
 
Still surprised there wasn't at least some token AFL investigation into him biting McGuane's finger.

If it had been Jake King on a pies player ch 9 and the papers would have been all over it.

They probably did think about it but then realized that collingwood players, like their supporters, don't have any teeth. Therefore it would make the afl look more foolish than it already is.

Agree, that went away far too quick.

Being overrated would mean someone somewhere actually rates him.

mid i have some mates who follow the pies and they think he is a star, i tell them he aint no star, very good mark, leads well but the bottom line is he doesnt kick goals for a key tall and also misses to many set shots...
 
I'm no Cloke fan but he plays much of his game up the ground around the wings and HFF. That's probably why he doesn't kick goals.

dont see the point in that he is tall and big bodied, ud think closer to home so he'd kick more goals, then again he's pretty bad from set shots...
 
he is currently playing in a very even side, so individual stats dont really matter, he has flown under the radar this year but if he was playing at punt rd his average year wouldve been brought to every bodies attention.

We need a CHF but I hope that never happens.
The Pies are carrying him.

Sure he is, however the sad truth is that he was almost best on against us the other week. What a pity we don't have more overrated hacks in our team

u know i saw that he was close to best, what the? he was average in the eyes who know there footy, missed heaps of set shots...
Yeah he lead well and marked well near HF/Wing, whoppie do! what did that do for the pies how many goal assists did he have...

Franklin and Richo play high fwd and wing and still kick a heap of goals....

Like zippadeee said had he been palying at punt road we would have ripped him a new one....21 goals is not good enough from a key fwd and like i said about pendlebury when ur team is winning everything is camouflaged and i will say right now that *smile* and even hughes would kick 20 goals if they played almost every game this year....
 
Over-rated alright. Him and Dale Thomas, two most over-rated forwards around. Luckily Collingwood have Didaks, Davis's and Medhursts too cover for the inadequacies elsewhere. And to think Travis Cloke was the best of the brothers. Would any of them have been AFL players if it wasnt for the name and the Collingwood association?

The Richo's & Buddy Loves of the world are completely different players to a Cloke though.
 
collingwood proves that 5 -6 quality footballers can allow 5-6 sub-standard footballers to be carried.
if cloke, thomas- obree- tarken and maxwell played in a richmond jumper they will take us back to the glory years of the late 80's. they're are lucky that the hawks are all injured and that geelong are crawling to the finals. holly crap there biggest challagne is to play either the saints or doogies, 2 sides that have to beat there history before they can win a flag.
