I'd like to see him incorporate some power training. Try and add 2 kg to the 78kg/190cm frame. Do a 6 week power & bulk routine, then launch into a month of endurance building work.
Played every game since he debuted and this 10 week break could prove to be very telling in the most extrodinairy way!
I'm sure the club has already mapped a plan for the very talented 20yo.

We need our sport scientists to develop a match simulation program which ensures that he is conditioned and ready to play when his ban ends and our finals campaign begins. It surely is possible that with scientifically planned training and match simulation that we can get him at least approximately as well conditioned as if he were playing VFL. We will play him in the finals series... I am absolutely sure of it. We will make sure that his prodigious talent will be utilised in September.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with his shots for goal until he faced the prospect of sanctions for betting on games.
2018: 38.24 [if Travis Cloke had maintained that conversion rate for his career he would have been an AFL Legend]
Before Finals 34.20
During Finals 4.4
2019 21:12 Before St. Kilda game and the conversation with Howie 16.8
After St. Kilda game 5.4

| Travis Cloke IS an AFL legend. I don’t get why people on here want to run down the career of one of the greatest players who has ever taken the field for us. It is not Travis’ fault that the team crumbled around him in 2011 or that the wheels fell off the Collingwood wagon during Travis’ peak seasons. Statistically, he is so far out in front as our greatest CHF since the Second World War that it is not even open for debate. |

Yes!!!!! 
I reckon the club will cover the physical and skills side of his preparation for any finals we are in  brilliantly.
What worries me more is the mental and psychological side of things. He still needs to feel that he is part of the team and is included on match days somehow. I reckon he also needs a specific daily job to do, so that he is mentally stimulated and doesn't get bored (for obvious reasons)!!! |

I wouldn’t worry about his conditioning. He will get smashed on the track and he will tenderised like a fillet Mignon as part of match simulation.
All clubs do it and if you speak to any players who are out suspended for a while, the worst part of the suspension is the caning you receive on the track.
And it’s going to be a very boring three months for him too. |

Head over to Kerry (the Collingwood of Gaelic Football) and play round ball

Mate, he is a Collingwood legend, on par with Anthony Rocca or Brian Taylor... but his goalkicking accuracy placed him a rung below the Careys, Locketts, Abletts, Dunstalls.. who are/will be AFL legends for their sheer glut of goals or accuracy.

^ Here's the player comparison between Travis Cloke and Royce Hart (who is an official AFL legend, not just a Hall of Fame inductee):
https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_compare?playerStatus1=I&tid1=15&playerStatus2=I&tid2=5&type=T&pid1=5073&pid2=1521&fid1=C&fid2=C
They don't put players in the Hall of Fame because they kicked straight.
Travis was the single most dominant power marking forward in the competition for 10 years - from 2007 to 2016. We built our entire premiership push from 2007 to 2012 around him - and when the rest of the team became average, Cloke still towered over the competition for another 3 seasons. If he hadn't played for Collingwood, they'd all be talking about him in hushed tones. His feats and his consistency over a long career, playing as our number one forward target in a gameplan built more or less entirely around the fact he played for us, were extraordinary. |

The fuking vindictive League, wont even let him play in the VFL, to retain match fitness levels, small minded bloody bastards they truly are. !! I just hope he can retain his fitness, and id let him sit in the matchday box, in games, he may have some good advice for Bucks and Co.

Start with deleting all online betting accounts and apps, replace weetbix with steak (drink the milk instead of pouring it over them) and hit the gym.
Train like a mad cnut for 8 weeks, take a week or so off to get away and mentally recharge, then come back be ready for selection come finals
