FORMER Collingwood and Western Bulldogs goalkicker Travis Cloke will make a footy comeback in this year’s EJ Whitten Legends game.

Squads have been named for this year’s match at Adelaide Oval on Friday August 31, during the bye week between Round 23 and the AFL finals.

“It’s been great playing local footy this year but I’m really looking forward to pulling on the Victorian jumper and playing alongside some AFL legends at the Adelaide Oval,” Cloke said.

“There are quite a few recently retired AFL greats who have put up their hand to play this year, so I think there will be some serious competition on the night.”

Cloke could line up on triple premiership player Brian Lake fresh off a stint on reality TV show Survivor and a brief stint in a Japanese prison.

Cloke retired last year after 246 games with Collingwood 10 with the Bulldogs. He issued a warning about the negative pressure of social media after battling mental health issues in the final years of his career, but should be under a lot less pressure in the charity game that raises funds to fight prostate cancer.

Former North Melbourne and West Coast forward Drew Petrie will also make his legends game debut this year.

Terry Wallace will coach the Victorians with Malcolm Blight in charge of the all-stars.

Since its inception, the EJ Whitten Foundation has raised over $13 million for men’s health awareness programs and prostate cancer research and treatment.

The game will be screened live on Channel 7 and Fox Footy.
