After 13 years in the AFL system, Travis Cloke on Wednesday called time on his decorated career as one of the strongest tall forwards in the past decade. 

He did so as a Western Bulldogs player, but 246 games, two All-Australian nods, one Copeland Trophy and of course the 2010 premiership all came in the Black and White. 

Cloke was drafted to the Magpies as a father-son with pick 38 in the 2004 National Draft. He joined a club with a sense of familiarity. Not only was his dad David a past player, but brothers Jason and Cameron already called Collingwood home.

A 12-year stint at the Holden Centre followed. What took place between 2004 and 2016? The gallery below captures the many memories of our forward line focal point during his time as a Magpie.

How to make your mark on debut? Dye your hair blond, and play your first game in front of over 70,000 people against the Bombers on ANZAC Day. 



Wins were hard to come by in 2005. Cloke's first came in round 13 against the West Coast Eagles.



The blond locks remained into 2006 as Cloke prepared for his second season in Black and White. 



Fun in the water with Dale Thomas in 2006. 



Cloke won the Copeland Trophy as Collingwood's Best and Fairest in 2007. It was a year in which the Magpies made the Preliminary Final before losing to Geelong. 



Ready to attack 2008.



ANZAC Day continued to be kind to Cloke throughout his career. The 2008 instalment produced 5.4 from 18 possessions.



Spot the difference. The stage was bigger, but the celebration was exactly the same in the 2010 Grand Final.



The ultimate dream, shared with fellow tall forward Chris Dawes.



2011 produced All-Australian honours, third place in the Best and Fairest and the first of four Gordon Coventry awards for Collingwood's leading goal kicker.



New tall timber arrived in 2013. Cloke shares a moment with Quinten Lynch at team photo day.

A round four date with the Tigers at the MCG saw Cloke bring up 200 AFL games in 2014. 



The first ever Neale Daniher Trophy winner. Cloke is awarded by Daniher himself for his best-on-ground performance against Melbourne on Queens Birthday, 2015. 



Best mates say goodbye. Cloke shares a moment with Tyson Goldsack after his last game in Black and White. 



Old faces, wrong colours. Cloke's first and only game AGAINST Collingwood came in round one, 2017.



Thanks for everything, Trav. You're Collingwood FOREVER.
