Turning up to your clubs B & F when you are leaving that club is like having dinner with your ex wife on your wedding anniversary.

from the first article:

Cloke Sr, manager of Travis, said tthere were several reasons why his son was dissatisfied with his lot.



"In some ways, he is probably a little bit disappointed he hasn't been involved in the leadership group at the club in the period of time he's been there," he said.

"Other players have come in and gone straight into it, so that's been a little bit of a sticking point within himself."



I truly feel sorry for Travis- this is beyond embarrassing or sad.

I wish him well and hope that his fiancee has the balls to tell David to GOGF!

Otherwise he is likely to be giving her relationship advice.

'Um, Becky, Trav is feeling a little neglected in the bedroom.
Cam's missus gives him massages every night and Jason's missus takes out the bins on bin night.'
'He's a bit upset that you put his denim outfit he made in High school design class on a normal wash cycle, instead of gentle.

Pick 79 from the Woofas is an absolute joke, an insult too us and Cloke, I vote we take the three magic beans, and have done with it. Grrrrrr. !!

At this stage, I'd be happy to take pick 179 just to be rid of him and his dirtbagging old man.

He can pop his head in the door in 4 years time for the reunion, then piss off again for another 10 years.
I hold a cup of wisdom, but there is nothing within.

:o A trifle harsh, but I can understand your sentiments, it has always been about just him, travis, travis, travis, in him and his old mans eyes, two selfish peas in a pod, never been team players, just number one, and too hell with anyone else. :!:

After 12 years service, I thought it was pretty poor of Travis not to attend the Copeland. After all, he is still a Collingwood player, and it would have been a chance for him to thank a lot of people around the club, as well as the fans, for their support over his long career.

What "support"? It's hard to think of a loyal, champion player who has been the object of so much vitriol so consistently over his entire career. He has been repeatedly abused for leaving Collingwood since about 2009.

You're kidding if you don't think he's had great support from Collingwood over the journey.

The words Loyalty and Cloke, ae a contradiction in terms IMHO. :o

loyalty and football are contradictions in terms.
