Collingwood News One in, one out: Travis Cloke and Darcy Moore will trade places this week. Travis Cloke has been named as an inclusion into a Collingwood squad which will conclude the 2016 season against Hawthorn on Sunday afternoon. Cloke joins fellow 2010 premiers Tyson Goldsack and Brent Macaffer in the side, as well as ruckman Jarrod Witts. The selection of the 245-game power forward shouldn't come as a shock. Nathan Buckley confirmed as early as Monday that Cloke would be recalled into the team to replace the injured Darcy Moore. "Clokey's form in the last couple of weeks since going back has been really strong at VFL level," Nathan Buckley told Fox Footy's AFL 360. "He's next best suited to the role that Darcy's been playing, so he'll come in and have an opportunity to fulfill his role and perform in a game that we're really keen to win." The selection of Macaffer teases what could be a fitting farewell to AFL football. After 77 AFL games, he this week called time on a career which included a premiership, two knee reconstructions and most recently elevation into the leadership group. The forward-turned-midfielder has played just four games in 2016. However he is been in impressive VFL form and has been a regular emergency to the senior team in recent weeks. Goldsack was selected to play against the Gold Coast Suns last weekend, but withdrew after falling to a leg injury early on Saturday. Witts has been dominant at VFL level in recent weeks. The 209cm ruckman has had a remarkable 121 hit-outs in his past two games and may be selected if the coaches decide to look tall against Hawthorn. After losing Jonathon Ceglar to a knee injury against West Coast last week, the Hawks may be stretched if the Pies opt to play both Witts and regular big-man Brodie Grundy. Collingwood has not beaten Hawthorn since the 2011 Preliminary Final. The chance to end the losing streak has taken 23 weeks this season, but finally appears at the MCG on Sunday afternoon.
