Cameron Cloke Biography

Port Adelaide assistant coach Matthew Primus says former Carlton ruckman Cameron Cloke remains a chance to be added to the senior list depending on teammate David Rodan's recovery from knee surgery.

"We still have a position on our senior list available. It depends [on Rodan's recovery] how long that position is going to be there, but Cameron is still right in the mix," Primus said.

"He played well on the weekend and if he has another good game this weekend he'll put his hand up, so we're still talking about him for sure."

Cameron Hitchcock is elevated to Port Adelaide's senior list to replace John Butcher meaning former Blue Cameron Cloke remains a rookie due to David Rodan's remarkable recovery from a knee injury.

"I had a meeting with Choc last night and he told me that the club was going to upgrade me today," Hitchcock said.

"I've really enjoyed playing so far in the NAB Cup and this is a great opportunity for me."

John Butcher and David Rodan are place on Port Adelaide's long-term injury list allowing the likes of former Blue Cameron Cloke and livewire forward Cameron Hitchcock to likely be elevated to Port Adelaide's primary list.

"We'll definitely upgrade someone in the next two weeks. Cloke and Hitchcock are the two that are at the forefront now. It'll depend on needs and who we're playing that week, but both of them have shown enough form to get upgraded," Power coach Williams said.

Port Adelaide is appearing unlikely to select Cameron Cloke in the coming pre-season and rookie drafts, preferring instead to re-select the recently delisted Glenn Dawson as a rookie.

Delisted Carlton ruckman Cameron Cloke is still on Port Adelaide's radar, despite not being selected in last week's AFL Draft.

Hawthorn is considering drafting an experienced ruckmen, one of Chris Bryan, Cameron Cloke, John Meesen, Adam Pattison or Wayde Skipper on Thursday night.

Carlton may be forced into a six-figure contract payout after delisting Cameron Cloke if Cloke fails to find a new club via the upcoming drafts.

Delisted Carlton big man Cameron Cloke remains desperate to revive his career at a third AFL club next season with Port Adelaide understood to have had talks with him.

"Cameron's really disappointed because he is a contracted player," said David Cloke, Cameron's manager and father.

"Under the rules of the AFL, Carlton needed to make space available for the national draft. What we are going to do at the moment is see what his options are and, hopefully, find him a club where he can do some training."

Ruckman Cameron Cloke has parted ways with the Blues after 36 games in three seasons.

"We thank Cameron for his contribution to the Carlton Football Club, both on and off the field, and we wish him well for the future," general manager of football operations Stephen Icke said.

The suspension of Blues forwards Cameron Cloke, Eddie Betts and Jeff Garlett has given Carlton assistant coach Matthew Lappin headaches in the lead-up to the Adelaide clash.

"Eddie's number two in the league for forward 50 tackles and Jeff, on average in the games he's played, rates really highly as well," Lappin said.

"We've taken out our two best forward 50 tacklers alongside Brendan, who'll be our best tackler this week hopefully, so that's a fair bit going out of side defensively in the front half, so hopefully the guys who come into that area can carry a bit of that slack.

"We might go a bit tall at times this week just to mix things up a bit and see what might work for us in a final if we need to go that way."

Carlton has suspended Cameron Cloke, Eddie Betts and Jeff Garlett for Saturday's clash with Adelaide for being late to a recovery session scheduled on the Sunday after their win against Melbourne.

"This is very disappointing for all concerned, particularly as we play such an important game against Adelaide on Saturday, the final game before we embark on our finals campaign. While all three players have apologised for their tardy behaviour this decision ensures that everyone understands the disciplines that are required when you are part of the Carlton Football Club," said Blues football manager Steven Icke.

A stint on the forward line for the Northern Bullants has given Cameron Cloke confidence he can contribute at a senior level.

"It's been really good. With the way the team changes around, you can't really be a one-position player, so it's been really good to get up forward and kick some goals and get some good form," he said.

"I know I can always go into the ruck if I need to, so it's always good to have that string to your bow."

Setanta O'hAilpin is finally back in the AFL after his infamous pre-season brain explosion that resulted in a fiery clash with teammate Cameron Cloke.

A show of support from Setanta O'hAilpin's teammates has ensured his seamless return to Carlton, 11 days after he floored teammate Cameron Cloke.

Cameron Cloke says he holds no grudge against teammate Setanta O'hAilpin despite the Irishman's attack on him in Friday's intra-club match.

Setanta O'hAilpin is suspended indefinitely for attack on Cameron Cloke and Andrew Carazzo breaks his arm in intraclub match.

Carlton has told troubled Irishman Setanta O'hAiplin he may have played his last game of football after he turned on Cameron Cloke.
