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?

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
