Key forward Travis Cloke returned to his very best form with five goals against Essendon at the MCG on Saturday night.

The 25-year-old took 16 marks and kicked 5.4, only one behind shy of his career-best haul against Essendon recorded back in round 20, 2010. His 16 marks is the most he has taken so far this season, and his most since the aforementioned round 20 victory over the Bombers in 2010.
