Cloke out of AFL Cats clash

Collingwood's Travis Cloke has pulled a hamstring to be ruled out of the AFL match with Geelong.

Geelong have been boosted by the withdrawal of Collingwood power forward Travis Cloke just minutes before their meeting at the MCG.

Cloke tweaked a hamstring during the warm-up, with coach Nathan Buckley throwing in emergency Jesse White as a like-for-like replacement.

The Cats need to avoid defeat against Collingwood to have any hope of making the AFL finals series.
