Basically sat next to him toady at the VFL.
Good to see his mum and sister turn up as well.
At the end of the game I asked him a few questions.
The first one was one that has perplexed
me for a number of years.
I ask why did Leigh Mathews would always take him off the ball just as he was getting going.
He just said it was what the coaching staff wanted.
It perplexed him as well.
For those who don't know David Cloke he was a star at Pie land and you only have to go and look at his Brownlow votes to see how good he was.
Second I asked about why Trav got screwed by the Umps.
He said he was staggered how he got treated and there were a few classic examples today.
Third I asked about his thoughts on Bux's coaching.
He refused to answer the question but his body language was interesting.
He then added that if the Pies lost Anzac day then Bux may well be sacked.
Now that was an interesting comment.
He also said he was amazed how we took players off who had to sprint 80 yards and then they got 2 minutes break and they did another 80 yard sprint back to their position.
He was diplomatic in some of his answers but I think I got his drift.

If the Demons win tonight and the Bombers win tomorrow we could have a dual media conference as the clubs sack their coaches. Geez it may even be a coaching swap, at least the Tigers made the finals. And the there is Ross the Toss er.  |

Buckley has ruined Cloke and if he doesn't go soon, he will ruin Moore as well.

| That was unusually reserved for Cloke senior.I thought he would say a lot more than that.Maybe he knows something is afoot at the club. |

I wish you had have asked "as the manager of the clubs hugest paid player, why is he playing with blokes on minimum chips and drink cards?"
"When do you expect him to do the job he is highly paid for"
Pretty sick of this one way street, players need to be accountable for their actions.
It's the "game plans" fault that Trav can't kick a goal from 25m out directly in front... |

Trav could never kick a goal from 25m out!
Still won a flag with him like that.

Frankly, if he even had a chance of having the ball delivered to him in that vicinity i would be over the moon. It hasn't looked a chance to anyone in our forward 50 this season. May as well blame Trav for the coast to coast goals we gave up a few times each game. Oh and those inside 50 marks our opponents keep getting, uncontested. Week in week out. F$ck you Trav!! Please..

Did you summon the onions to tell him how many times you've bagged him and how many times you would have traded him 'cause he was a dud??? |

Lighten up Francis, just wanted to know how come he can't kick goals when the opportunity arrives, it seems players are not even bothering to look for him as he is now a liability in front of goal. |
