COLLINGWOOD forward Travis Cloke will miss Friday night’s clash against Geelong after being withdrawn just minutes before the bounce with hamstring tightness.  

Cloke, who had been battling soreness in recent weeks, was replaced by tall forward Jesse White for his first game since round 17. 

After missing three matches with a calf injury, Cloke returned in round 20 but has kicked just one goal in each of his past two matches. 

Magpies coach Nathan Buckley said he had been withdrawn with hamstring tightness rather than a recurrence of the calf problem.
