Unsure why I wouldn't want to see a professional footballer play to the best of his ability and fulfill the team role required.


yep always room for improvement but IMO your side is less electric almost stale without him (and swan)

do you personally want to see cloke dropped??


Agree we need him and want him on the field - I just want more from him.
I think people like to focus on Cloke far too much. This year was always going to be an important transition for our forward structure, giving Moore increased responsibility, and Cloke is working his way through that. I enjoy him running up the ground and getting more of the footy up there and I hope we continue down this path. So much of the flak Cloke cops is unfair, when the delivery into our forward line has been so ordinary over the past couple of years. However, the flak he does deserve is about his goalkicking - atrocious.


a game in the ressies to piss the fella off a bit, one step back 2 steps forward

i bet its all buckley wants to do, but hierachy wouldnt allow it. a $700,000 year player in the ressies.... theyd rather sink than have team standards?

john worsfold has mckernan & grimley in the reserves (who sure arent dependable) but refuses to to give them a game until they do as required, theyre going places with this attitude

when was the last time cloke did as required, time to get him out of cotton wool and giving him a free ride - IMO obviously not yours

Some big ins this week so I'm sticking with us.
Lose and the squeeze gets a little tighter.

Elliott has struggled with his back since mid last year. His form dropped off, understandably, late in the season.
He's above average when right though so I hope he gets back soon.
Sidey and Tooves back helps plenty.

Don't underestimate the effect the drug tests have had on the group.
Trust is a must and some have broken that, but no one knows who they are.
We can thank the drunk bloke on 360 for that.....wa#ker!

Yes, that's why it was anonymous, to gather data and formulate the best approach.

If my employer did random drug tests I think we would 90% positive. Although maybe not, it just seems like people are on drugs.

Clement and Ball were beauties, i think Varcoe will be right up with them by the end of his career.
Most of our great recruits like Kelly, etc were interstaters.
Cloke, Taylor and Barwick were just ok.
