Can Cloke's kicking be fixed?

Is it too late in his career now to fix his kicking for goal?

He would be a 100 goal forward if he could kick straight.

Our two key forwards can't kick for nuts, Lynch is not a longterm proposition so it's Cloke that has to be fixed.. BT says his drop is way too high

Get someone to give him a consistent routine because it will cost us big time one day. Get him the help he needs.

Not now. Kicking should sorted out in juniors.

Perhaps Cloke and Lynch should try the long putter. It worked for Adam Scott. Razz

If they havent by now there is no hope.

We should have got Lloyd in years ago. Opportunity missed.

Didak should be the kicking coach. He's still got the best technique for a set shot in the game.

Amputate!, and rub the stump with salt................That'll fix it.

I don't think so, if he still can't kick straight even in his mid 20s then he never will. We will just have to take the good with the bad with clokey I'm afraid.

On Ch7 the morons were going on about getting some medical advice about Lynchs finger

Apparently this had never been considered by WCE or Collingwood since neither team has medical staff contacts or money

He seems to have regressed. The last year or two he seemed to have fixed most of his issues, but he has gone back to being a shocker this year.

Lynch is another story altogether. Worst kick at goal in the team at the moment.

Kyle Martin is a good kick for goal. As are most of our new guys, Dwyer, Kennedy, Elliott etc. Good controlled actions with hand, foot and ball near each other and in a direct line on release.

Is it just me or does Cloke lift one shoulder higher than the other when he lines up for a set shot? Either he lifts the right shoulder or he drops the left one. Every time. I'm not sure if that figures into it, it's just something I noticed.

Nroo fixed his kicking, and he was just as bad as Cloke is right now. Can be done.

Buddy is proof you don't need to be a good kick to be a dominant forward
