Travis Cloke - 1 Match Suspension

Re: Travis Cloke - 1 Match Suspension

thats good news for us - but i still think we could have beaten them with cloke and rocca anyway if they play

in all seriousness, has anyone thought about how much good luck we have had this season with injuries and other teams having injuries when they have been playing us?

Its good to get a good run for a change - God knows we have lucked out in the past

It is about damn time too. I am loving the fact that after years of having everything against us, we are finally getting some good luck. It is things like this that are getting me more and more exited about what we may be able to do this year.

Re: Travis Cloke - 1 Match Suspension

Is it really good for us? I'm not sure why but I'd like to know exactly how good we are by playing the Pies at closer to their full strength. If we win by 20 or 30 points the old question of the difference that these two guys would have made remains unanswered.

With our win loss record I think we need to be tested but sides like the Pies.

Bugger that, gives us 4 points and if Collingwood are good enough we'll see them in the finals. All teams get injuries and players out through suspension, we were riddled with injuries in 2006, that's footy. We'll get enough tests against Geelong and against Adelaide away rd 22. Based on Sunday's effort I didn't hold out much hope of a decent challenge from Collingwood anyway. Why anyone would say they want the opposition team at full strength when there are 4 points up for grabs is beyond me.

C'wood MAY take it to the tribunal.

Collingwood ALWAYS take it to the tribunal

Won't be the first to be guilty of that will he Sockeye?

I have to WOOF at work. I'm usually not allowed to at home!

Re: Travis Cloke - 1 Match Suspension

Cloke was not a worry in or out, he has played average this season.

Love how Collingwood fans were praising him as the #1 Forward...good ol collingwood fans

With the form Cloke has been in this year it might be a plus him being out.

It means Ben Reid will definitely play - now there's a worse run up than Welsh!

Probably no need to play Lake on him, Williams could take it.

He is very lucky it was only 1.

Re: Travis Cloke - 1 Match Suspension

I think this early guilty plea is crap. If he deserves 2 he should get 2.

Same goes for the longer sentence if there is an appeal. They should be allowed to challenge without pretty much being punished.

To no-one will we sell or deny of delay right or justice.

Section 29 of Magna Carta. Magna Carta is the original document that our legal system is based on. Note the bolded word.


The AFL judicial sytem is a farce.

Re: Travis Cloke - 1 Match Suspension

Never did I think I would see the day when the Magna Carta was used as evidence in a footy fan's forum. Has the world gone mad?

The bit that Adrian Anderson oversees has. If he cant see how vulnerable to appeal the laws he authored and introduced are then he's a bigger idiot than he looks. And that's impossible.



Borgy needs to sort him out again...

How many weeks do you think i would have gotten if he head butted my hip that faithful day?

Id be famous, no doubt.

Young Australian of the year atleast.

Re: Travis Cloke - 1 Match Suspension

This is good and bad for us. We wont have to worry about him on Sunday, but the media will come out and say the reason that we destroyed them is because he was not playing.

This is ALL good news for us. I had the privilege to sneak down to Melb this weekend and watch the 'dogs hand out a beautiful thrashing to the Lions. More of that later...... But it is GREAT that all the media and other clubs concentrate on how undermanned a side might be, because while they do this they they are not focusing fully on how tough and improved the Bulldogs are. Keep the smoke screen going I say!
Anyway, with a rush trip to Melb. on the weekend to see my kids and my grandaughter-to-be, I managed to sneak down to the "G" to watch my first game of the year live. What I saw impressed me greatly - confidence, desperation, versatility, and a lot of skill. I don't think I have seen a better-equipped Bulldogs side since the great one in '54. We have a side that is capable of beating any side in the comp. and capable of playing off in the big one. Note the word capable - another 10 rounds of footy to be played to get us in position to make that capability a reality.
So let's look forward to the next 10 games with great confidence, and let us hope that we have many opposition players missing to keep the media minds (an oxymoron?? ) diverted from hyping up our boys.
Finally.... May Callan Ward not play too much better before the finals. This kid is going to be a real beauty, but hopefully he can keep out of the spotlight for a few more weeks yet.
Go Doggies!
