Reading the Nth Ballarat v Williamstown thread, it seems that Cloke was the only decent Williamstown player for the game.

I haven't seen much of Williamstown this year, but by all accounts he's held himself very very well.

I therefore pose this question to the Willi-Watchers, who have seen more of him than I have.

Do you think he'll get another shot at the big-time?

I'm not suggesting for a moment that we'll pick him up, but would another club?

I didn't get to yesterdays game but I have been to a lot of others. I was impressed with Cloke in the early part of the season but he has slipped back a fair bit but I think that it is probably due to the way he has been used. At his size, to get back into an AFL list you would have to think that it would need to be as a 3rd tall defender or forward but often he is on a wing or a flank rather than being one of the key players.

He is an intelligent player and a real leader during the quarter time breaks with his team mates but I don't think he will get another chance.
If a team had a very specific role then he might make it but at the moment it's very doubtful. I could see him getting into the coaching ranks somewhere down the track.

Cloke was good yesterday but he doesn't have the skills required as an AFL player. I think he would thrive at a stand alone club that doesn't have to push him into other positions because of the AFL listed players.

Always pondered whether we would pick him up or not..

Aswell in Williamstown is an on-baller named David Stretton, who i went to primary school with..and part of high school.

He is in Willys best practically every week, anyone seen him in action and do u think he will be picked up at AFL level?

(think he wears #27)
