What Cloke's problem is/was is irrelevant in my opinion. The point is, Collingwood have invested heavily in the football department to provide their key forward with the personal coaching that he needs and fix the problem. Though as I said, his kicking had improved dramatically over the last couple of years, but the Magpies saw fit the other day to hire a coach to further improve it. 
 
Levi needs one on one coaching and plenty of time dedicated to it. Anyone who has played footy here would know that pre-seasons can be dominated by running, and very little ball-use. That's fine so Levi must want to fix his kicking by putting in extra hours on the track. Someone needs to speak to him and say that 2014 could be his breakout year, and with the help of a personal coach, he can achieve it with his own determination.

I agree with what you have said. Levi needs to be mentored one on one and taught how to kick. He also needs to get his endurance working for him. Rowe needs to be taught how to present and work on his endurance also. Henderson can't do it all alone in the forward 50m.

Levi also has the option of seeking out help off his own bat. Judd does it all the time. When he first came across, he hired a running coach for private sessions at Olympic park. These young peanuts need to start showing some initiative.

No amount of concentration can overcome a technique like that. The action itself needs a complete overhaul.

But he has kicked some excellent goals, consistency/repeatability seems to be his problem. Are the good ones just down to chance?

Here is how the media experts think our starting 22 will be like. I can't see Everitt and Menzel missing too many games.

You would think at worst Curnow and Armfield would get a gig as a sub. They both would get a gig with Mick on a permanent basis because they give us the run and carry he wants us to have in my opinion.

With Curnow doing such a good job last year, don't be surprised if Carrazzo is found a different role this year, like they did to Simpson last year.  Just a hunch!

Could be right too BUT Curnow needs to improve his disposal and also hurt the opposition more in a positive sense in order secure his spot in the first 22 - just my take.

Tom Bell arrived back at training as if he was preparing for the Hawaiian ironman. Has shed kilos from his massive frame and has been flying in the time-trials. Received a rookie elevation and maybe the beast is about to unleash.
