WESTERN Bulldogs recruit Travis Cloke says he can bring the extra "one or two per cent" the reigning premiers need to stay on top.

Cloke joined the Bulldogs on the final day of the NAB AFL Trade Period on Thursday from Collingwood in exchange for pick 76 at this year's draft.

The two-time All Australian – who has signed a two-year contract with the Bulldogs – brings a wealth of experience from his 246 games at the Magpies, but was in and out of the side this season.

While he admitted it would be a challenge to force his way into the Bulldogs' best 22, Cloke believed he had plenty to offer.

Trade period: How the fans saw it

"I'm coming here to re-invent myself, learn a few things and to develop under the boys at the Western Bulldogs," Cloke told westernbulldogs.com.au.

"My endurance running is normally a pretty good thing, but I will put myself in the best physical condition for the 2017 campaign.

"Hopefully I can bring the extra one or two per cent to the side and maintain the success that this club's got."

Cloke's 17 goals from 13 appearances was the lowest amount of goals he's kicked in a season since 2006.

The biggest question is how the 29-year-old slots into a forward line that has Tom Boyd as its focal point.

Boyd was absolutely terrific for the Bulldogs in their victorious Grand Final against the Sydney Swans and was unlucky to have missed out on the Norm Smith Medal.

"Sitting back seeing how 'Boydy' played in that Grand Final was fantastic," Cloke said.

"For me to work with him and develop both our game's together is obviously what I’m here for.

“I want to work closely with him and the rest of the forwards, but I also want to bring something to this side that has just won a premiership."

Cloke is excited to be working under Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge, who held an assistant coaching role at the Magpies.

“The [reason] I want to be a part of it is obviously the culture of this football club. From the outside it looks fantastic, everyone seems to be working towards Bevo, he’s obviously a fantastic fella to be in charge," Cloke said.

“I was lucky enough to work with him for a few years when he was with Collingwood, but I guess the way the playing group gels and works together is pretty important to him.”

“It’s probably one of the main factors.”
