He was the third and youngest son of David Cloke, who played 333 matches for Richmond and Collingwood between 1974 and 1991, joining older brothers Jason and Cameron.

He played consistent but not eye catching footy early on, before having a productive ANZAC Day match, with 24 disposals, 13 marks, 10 inside 50s and 4 score assists along with 1.3.

He would prove vital in the finals, being the club's best player in September, which awarded him a surprise Copeland Trophy as the Collingwood best and fairest, just aged 20 years old.

He played all 25 matches, leading the club in long kicks (122) and inside 50s (121, 3rd AFL), whilst taking 36 contested marks.

When injury struck the Magpie camp, Cloke was forced to hold up the forward line with the opposition's tall defenders covering him for most of the season.

After signing a 5-year, multimillion-dollar deal with magpies late in 2012,[1] Cloke started the 2013 AFL season strongly, kicking 4 goals against North Melbourne in Round 1.

[3] Cloke then kicked a career high 7 goals against Richmond in a best on ground performance,[4] despite dislocating his finger just a day before the game.

After a season filled with criticism, speculations were growing and finally in August, he requested a trade from Collingwood[6] and he nominated the Western Bulldogs as his preferred destination.

Cloke played 10 games and kicked 11 goals in what was overall a disappointing season, as the Bulldogs missed the finals after winning the premiership in the previous year.

Cameron however was picked up in the AFL Pre-Season Draft by Carlton, while Jason has been a success for Bendigo and Williamstown in the VFL.
