Bio
The elder statesman of the Cloke football dynasty, Peter Cloke was a versatile key position player whose VFL career was overshadowed by injuries and arguably the strongest roster in league history. Recruited from Oakleigh, the older brother of future Tiger legend David Cloke possessed a booming kick and strong contested marking ability, allowing him to swing between centre half-forward and centre half-back. He managed 28 senior games under Tom Hafey, but a broken leg and the fierce competition for spots at Punt Road saw him leave midway through 1973 to return to the VFA. It was in South Australia where Cloke truly stamped his authority, joining North Adelaide to become a genuine SANFL star. He played 145 games for the Roosters, claiming two Best and Fairest awards, representing South Australia, and finishing runner-up in the 1979 Magarey Medal, proving himself a premier footballer in his own right.
