Collingwood’s Travis Cloke can accept a reprimand for headbutting Melbourne’s Matthew Warnock in yesterday’s Queen’s birthday clash, leaving him clear to play this weekend.

Cloke will receive 93.75 points towards his future record if he pleads guilty to his charge of headbutting.

If he challenges and is found guilty, he risks a one-match suspension.

Cloke, Magpie skipper Scott Burns and Melbourne’s Lynden Dunn were all hit with fine for engaging in a melee during the same quarter.

Magpie Paul Medhurst and Demon Clint Bartram have been given $900 fines for wrestling each other.

    ???? For a HEAD BUTT that led to a player going off under the blood rule, WTF? Adam Goodes will be going green with envy!

    On the radio they reported that the AFL said it wasn't a head butt, but a clash of heads so he was charged with 'misconduct'!

    This is from the AFL web site;

    Charges Laid:

    Travis Cloke, Collingwood, has been charged with misconduct in that he made contact with his head to the face of Matthew Warnock, Melbourne, during the second quarter of the Round 11 match between Collingwood and Melbourne, played at the MCG on Monday June 9, 2008.

    WTF?

    Travis Cloke is a violent thug! :angry:

    I remember seeing footage of him after the game when I got home and his nature is that of a typical schoolyard bully.

    He should take on the charge, and take the week.

    He needs it. He is one of the many pies suffering from a blockbuster hangover. Get real Mick.

    What about the Medhurst punch to Moloneys ribs shown on the replay?

    Goodes incident was potentially far more dangerous and deserved a week.

    He is. My cousin went to Yarra Valley with him.

    Widely known/reported around the Maroondah area that 2 of the Cloke brothers (not 100% sure which ones) should be in jail for assault after they king hit a kid at a party who then knocked his head on the gutter and hasn't woken from the coma since

    Just seen on the news that the filth are considering appealing Clokes charge and sentence. Are they for real? I hope they do and the charge is upgraded and he gets suspended - yeah sure! As is King Eddie would let that happen.

    Another case of Malthouse whinging!

    FFS - the sooner the AFL deregister the Collingmaggots the better! (Do dreams come true?)

    I must say it looked more a coming together of heads not a head butt as such, but he did force the issue and initiated contact.

    You should know better than letting the truth get in the way of a good Pie bashing session.

    he didnt say anything about a suppository...

    Well my cousin saw Cloke hit the kid.

    And basically everyone knows about when Cameron king hit a bouncer at Dakota and put him in hospital.

    Agree, there wasn't much in it, possibly deliberate, but it's not like Cloke pulled his head right back in the "classic" headbutt style. Both were jumper punching in a show of strength, should have been let go. Reprimand is a fair outcome.

  • Quote

    I too thought it was soft, unintentional contact.

    Unlike that BAAAASSSTARD Adam no-Goodes.

    Are you blokes for real?

    I was at the game and didn't actually see it and I haven't seen a replay of it either - but it's a Collingfilth palyer and it has to be worth 2 weeks!

    Crikey - any chance to upset the filth!

    LOL

    Im not sure what's the bigger crime, putting a bouncer in hospital or admitting to going to Dakota...

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
