Franklin easily. More versatile, better shot on goal, capable of kicking bigger bags and probably plenty more.

 

[Burzum]

Lance Franklin.

 

[MightyHawks]

chris judd or richard tambling? another toughy...

 

[kelso129]

franklin becuase cloke plays for collingwood

 

[SIR SAINT HOTDOG]

Travis Cloke

 

[jaydub]

Franklin by a country mile, doesnt need a glove.

 

[WOTTAMACHINE]

Only a collingwood supporter would say T Cloke..
Meanwhile last year they wanted him out of the senior squad..
Actually would be interesting to see if any Pie supporter says Buddy..

 

[Upgrayedd]

Franklin
but i rate cloke very highly, two best under 22 KPP's, and have proved that in a number of matches

 

[jerry springer]

On talent Buddy easily,oozes class

Travis does just seem to be getting better by the month.

will be good revisiting this topic when they are both 25

 

[Oh When the Saints]

I prefer a forward who works hard, puts in second efforts, and doesn't celebrate like a show pony.

Therefore I would take Travis Cloke.

 

[Pie 4 Life]

Well depends what forward you need... Cloke has more versatility and is a longer kick... hence more of a CHF, while Buddy is more of a goal kicker... hence FF. Really depends on that... they're as good as each other depending on how you look at them.

 

[holllywood]

buddy. the kid can take pack marks, crumb, run, and kick a bag.

Riewoldt Gehrig and Milne...

So Cloke is more versatile than Buddy?

Buddy can also kick it 65 meters

I'd take Buddy

explain to me how franklin doesn't do all those things

or are u just making up stuff cos u couldnt think of any things that cloke is better than franklin at...except kicking freak goals from the boundary then not get another touch for the game

 

[Medstar]

Cloke can take a contested mark so id take him.

 

[andypie]

chris judd or richard tambling? another toughy...

thats a bit harsh.

 

[diggitydogs]

i would have both

 

[The Dustbin]

Franklin oozes class and talent. Prodigeous talent who could be anything.

 

[Oh When the Saints]

Riewoldt Gehrig and Milne...

I believe they play for St Kilda.

I have watched both Franklin and Cloke play a number of times, and in my opinion Cloke's work-rate is significantly higher than Buddy's.

I also believe that Cloke is more inclined to make second and third efforts, and does not have the safe infatuation with himself that Franklin seems to.

Cloke is a better contested mark than Franklin. He is a better lead-up CHF and has better endurance.

 

[South of the Yarra]

Cloke has stood up at CHF, the toughest position on the ground. The position that wins matches. Franklin has proved this yet as he has played more from the square. Cloke has been more consistent. Cloke has had a better season. 31 goals and many assists from CHF is amazing.

Nice to see some people in these type of threads can actually make a pick without feeling the need to be derogatory to the other player. i am happy with cloke. But i would be happy with buddy aswell.
i will say cloke merely because he is already at collingwood and will be a star. Buddy has the potential to be anything, i think we all agree on that.

 

[Digby_from_Dingley]

Cloke is a better contested mark than Franklin. He is a better lead-up CHF and has better endurance.

If Cloke has better endurance than Franklin I will let you root my sister.

 

[phillm1]

diferent players, cloke is a true chf, where buddy is a superstar !
cloke has kicked 31 goals as a chf, where buddy has kicked over 50 goals as superstar.
lets be serious cloke is a good chf in a winning team but in a losing team he doesnt do much, where buddy has been a star in losing teams over the last cupple years, it is now that we are winning that he will become a superstar !!!!!!!!!!!
we all agree yes !
