An extremely generous left-field offer has created some uncertainty around the immediate future of Travis Cloke, with the Collingwood spearhead currently weighing up a $27,000 a year contract from Eastern Football League battlers Nunawading FC.

Cloke has received mild-to-no interest from Victorian clubs since being dropped to the VFL, but does remain hopeful of returning to Collingwood’s senior list should 20 or more players fall terminally ill.

“The offer literally came out of nowhere, but they have promised me regular game time in the seniors and said they won’t have a goal-kicking coach on my back all the time, so it is a tantalising option,” said Cloke.

Part of the attraction for the big forward is Nunawading misaligned goalposts, a result of the devastating Melbourne earthquake in 2012. With an extra two feet of goal-face to aim at, Cloke anticipates scoring multiple majors in the 2017 season should he end up making the move.
