Travis Cloke doesnt think he needs to reinvent himself as a player to provide value to the Western Bulldogs if he gets his wish for an AFL trade from Collingwood.The Pies four-time leading goal kicker was dropped three times this year by coach Nathan Buckley and managed just 13 games.Elements of the 29-year-olds game had clearly been on the nose for Buckley, but Cloke doesnt believe hell need to undergo a radical makeover to play a key role for Luke Beveridge.I dont think I need to reinvent myself, Cloke said.Ive got strengths I need to work to ... obviously, my running is one of them and my marking.But there are some things I can improve in my game with a fresh start, a fresh challenge - Im really looking forward to it.Cloke dismissed suggestions he needed to drop some weight to play a wider-roaming role, adding his skinfold measurements were exactly where they needed to be this year.With the AFL trade period starting on Monday, Cloke is hopeful his Whitten Oval move materialises early next week.It is believed Collingwood wont demand much more than a late-round draft pick in return for the contracted forward.So desperate is the 246-game veteran to start afresh that he will forego more than half the money he had been set to earn in the final year of his lucrative deal with the Pies.Im really making this move for myself and my football, he said.I really want to enjoy myself. Im going there to play some football.Theyve played in a premiership and thats super, but Id made my decision to come to the Dogs before that.So it will be up to me to work my way into a premiership side.Cloke believes Beveridge can get the best out of him and is hopeful he can help take some pressure off high-profile Dogs forward Tom Boyd.Ive taken a bit of an interest in him over the last few years since he did make the move to the Dogs, Cloke said.Its been well publicised the pressure that hes been under.I guess a reason why I have chosen the Dogs is Id love to work with him.Obviously, hes got so much potential and Id love to help him out where I can.

BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU running back Leonard Fournette broke something all right -- and it wasnt the left ankle that had sidelined him for nearly a month.Fournette rewrote LSUs single-game rushing record on just his first eight carries -- scoring three touchdowns of 59 yards or more -- and the 25th-ranked Tigers beat No. 23 Mississippi 38-21 on Saturday night.Ive never been (associated with) a player like Leonard, LSU interim coach Ed Orgeron said. Hes dynamic. I believe hes the best player in the country.Fournette finished with 284 yards rushing in his first action since aggravating a bone bruise in his ankle on Sept. 24. His touchdowns went for 78, 76 and 59 yards. He averaged 17.8 yards on 16 carries. Fournette broke Alley Broussards LSU record of 250 yards rushing (on 26 carries) in 2004, also against Ole Miss.He ran the ball with speed and force, at one point leveling Mississippi defensive back Deontay Anderson while turning a screen pass into a 22-yard gain.This has been one of the hardest seasons for me. Especially dealing with this injury. Im still dealing with it, Fournette said, adding that he heeded a pre-game text message from his mother, Lory, advising him to keep the faith. Everybody thinks Im healthy, but Im out of shape, too.The victory puts LSU (5-2, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) at 3-0 under interim coach Ed Orgeron, who replaced Les Miles four games into the season.Since Orgeron took over and promoted Steve Ensminger to offensive coordinator, the Tigers have demonstrated a penchant for big plays . They had four TDs of 40 or more yards against the Rebels, including Danny Etlings 40-yard pass to D.J. Chark.LSU finished with 515 total yards against Ole Miss (3-4, 1-3), which saw its chances of getting back into the SEC West race take a huge hit.Weve got to really, really look at ourselves hard -- coaches and players -- and figure out why were not putting together complete games, said Rebels coach High Freeze, who served as an assistant under Orgeron at Ole Miss nearly a decade ago. Youth is no longer an answer in certain places, and neither are injuries. Its time to grow and be able to play a complete game in this difficult conference.LSU really dominated this game in the second half, Freeze added. When things didnt go well for us, we didnt respond.Fournettes 78-yarder, which gave him 249 yaards on his first seven carries, put the Tigers up for good in the third quarter.dddddddddddd Derrius Guice iced it with a 6-yard TD.THE TAKEAWAYMississippi: The Rebels defense is sprinkled with big-play talent, but the unit as a whole doesnt consistently play together and gives up too many big plays and too many points. In all of their losses, theyve allowed 34 or more points.LSU: Fournette certainly made up for lost time. His performance puts him right back in Heisman Trophy consideration. To stay there, hell have to keep it up against Alabama, which held him to 31 yards on 19 carries last season in Tuscaloosa.KELLY CONTAINEDChad Kelly, who came in averaging an SEC-best 308.2 yards passing, was intercepted twice and sacked twice. He finished 19 of 32 for 209 yards and one touchdown, and the Rebels failed to scored 30 points for the first time this season.COMPETITIVE STARTKelly capped Ole Miss opening drive with a 15-yard scoring pass to Van Jefferson, and the Rebels briefly led 10-0 before Fournette came rumbling through the right side of LSUs offensive line for his 59-yard score. Fournettes 76-yard run put the Tigers up 21-13, but Marquis Haynes sack and strip of Etling gave Ole Miss the ball on the LSU nine. Three plays later, the Rebels tied it at 21 when Akeem Judd scored from 2 yards out and Ole Miss added a 2-point conversion on Kellys keeper.INJURIESHaynes, who leads Mississippi with five sacks, left the game in the second half, unable to put weight on his right leg.BIG-TIME BLOCKINGOrgeron called the play of his offensive line tremendous. Fournette said his record is an honor he shares with Tigers linemen. Fournette had big holes on all three of his scoring runs. Twice, he cut inside stout blocks on the right edge by Maea Teuhema.POLL IMPLICATIONSLSU, which just got back into the AP Top 25 poll last week, should continue to move up. Ole Miss, which was the only three-loss team in the poll, is unlikely to remain ranked.UP NEXTMississippi: The Rebels hosts surging Auburn next Saturday.LSU: The Tigers get next weekend off before hosting the top-ranked Crimson Tide in what could be a pivotal game in both teams seasons.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
