Cloke's Headbutt


Demon Head

Recommended Posts

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...

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
