Recruited from Park Orchards and the Eastern Ranges, Cloke was a powerful mobile forward who had a booming left foot and was strong overhead. Burst on to the scene in 2007 when he won Collingwood’s best and fairest. He took it to another level a few years later and was the Magpies’ leading goalkicker between 2011-14, earning All-Australian honours in 2011 and 2013. Cloke was traded to the Western Bulldogs at the end of 2016.
