Welcome to the Western Bulldogs: Travis Cloke

[bulldogtragic]

Wanted to play for us, great stuff and hope he has a big season.

Ripped up hundreds of thousands of dollars in a contract too. Coming for the right reasons and I love it.

Welcome aboard Clokey! Great pick up without giving much up.

[Mantis]

Best thing about this deal.. Never has to worry about meeting 'number 30' who went OK in the finals.. Might get to shake his hand after kicking 6 on him.

[westdog54]

Before the finals even!

He liked us before we were cool.

[bulldogtragic]

So which jumper number for Trav? 13, 25 or 30?

It'd be funny if he became that 'number 30' and played well! - Certainly a great nickname at the club 'Number 30'. Can we make this a thing?

And Trav, get onto Twitter and get that Collingwood player title of your Bio.

So anyway Crameri, Stringer, Cloke and Boyd down there now. So, how many elite defenders do you have exactly?

He looks in ripping nick in the club photo from earlier today. Looks like he is already well on the way to adjusting to the running demands of the modern game.

I believe he contacted Nick Riewoldt to see how he prepares. I suspect he might get to his lightest weight in years by Xmas.

Everything about him screams 'Man on a Mission'. It looks and feels like he's already in preseason mode already, the missing ingredient is confidence and I feel if he makes every post a winner to his coaches and team mates, the confidence in our club will infect him. We have four club leading goal kickers in our forwardline (Stringer & Dicko, Crameri & Cloke) with a man mountain who ripped a Grand Final a part and a huge supply of dangerous smalls and resting mids who hit the scoreboard. That should excite everyone.

Welcome on board Travis. Great to have you at the club.

Good for him. I'm going the other way.

[jeemak]

I'm really happy about this. If he can get his body where it needs to be and can play a largely high role we'll be able to get the footy into the forward line pretty quickly.

And while they're preoccupied trying to keep them quiet, hell-oooo Mr. Dickson working the seams.

And while they're preoccupied trying to keep them quiet, hell-oooo Mr. Dickson working the seams.

And hopefully with Trav working hard up the ground, we can leave Mr. Dickson up forward for longer each game. Running back at goal and getting 10+ kicks a game. If he's getting 10 or so kicks a game being closer to goal, then he's going to have a stunning 2017.
