INTRACLUB DISASTERS FOR BLUES & BOMBERS

Featured Replies

Posted

Apparently at Carltons intra-club match this morning Setanta O'hAilpin king hit Cameron Cloke and then kicked him while he was on the ground in an incident Carlton coach Brett Ratten described as a "low act".

At the Essendon intra-club practise game, Andrew Welsh broke his ankle in a sickening incident that is being compared to a 'Nathan Brown style' break. Welsh was rushed to hospital with his season looking in doubt.

 

And I'm still wondering how far across the white line Ben Cousins went in his.

Certainly horrible what happened to Welsh, I wish him a speedy recovery.

With the O'Hailpin one, it is an oddity but essentially these games are the first hit outs of the summer, the first for over 5 months. With guys jostling for position in the club and attempting to set a name for themselves, you can see how this sort of thing could happen.

It'd be tough to imagine him being sacked for it

 

i hope this doesnt happen at melbourne. this is why a worry when i keep hearing about newton getting heated at training.


Yeah I said that same thing in another post it does worry me

"As the intra-club match was being officiated by AFL umpires, O'hAilpin could be reported for the incident."

Something to keep in mind.

Shame he probably won't be around to be suspended as his contract should be torn up.

 

Yeah.. we'll see either way. Thinking more about stupid little things (like the over-the-top craze a few years back on tripping) that could come out of nowhere to bite us at next weeks intra-club.

In the words of Homer "It's funny because it's not me!!" (or my club).

I think he is gone. His teamates won't put up with that sort of thing.


the classic bit is that setanta was a hurling player in ireland.

why the hell would draft someone from a code on the other side of the world where they dont even kick a ball.

brilliant.

O Hailpin suspended indefinately to have no contact with the carlton football club for an indefinite period of time

Send him back home in Dick Pratt's private jet!


watch the footage, looks like he kicks him in the balls, I wouldn't be suprised if he is sacked for it.

Just saw it on the news, and yes, he does. First he knocks Cloke out with a big left, then kicks him in the balls... f*ckin funniest thing i've seen in a while. I'd be lying if i said i didn't burst out into the biggest laughing fit i've had for months... Ohhh, that's entertainment!

not entertainment, KARMA - about TIME for that cheating bunch of scumbags! Just about the funniest thing I have ever seen!

Woulda been funnier if it had been Juddy (or Robbie Warnock to a lesser extent) on the receiving end.

Didn't kick him hard enough IMHO

from the carltank forum:

"According to the latest Talking Training thread, he is training the house down."

The report must have come from the kick-boxing session


Wow. He's gotta go. that was terrible! what a brain fade.

As for Welsh, im starting to feel pretty sympathetic to Essendon. I was browsing Bomber blitz last night and heard that they only had 27 players capable of playing in the intra-club match as it was. If you look at the footage on the Herald sun, you will see that the ground that they are playing on is completley brown. no fresh grass.

I am sure the coaching staff would describe it as getting in a contested punch and followed up with a hard second effort.

Poor old Carlton. Just when they're feeling happy and optimistic about 2009, o'Hailpin socks Cloke in the mouth, and kicks him in the tender area while he's on the ground.....in an intraclub practice match!!!

There are two possible explanations. Either o'H. is a psycho, or Cloke did something inexcusable for which he tried to gain retribution.(I remember trying to defend a team-mate (and unsuccessfully seeking retribution) in a social footy match after the opposition ruckman punched him twice in the nose. I later found that our guy(my team-mate), had been kicking the other bloke in the groin every time they went up in the ruck. He was warned...."if you do that again, I'll smash your face in" He did it again. I was unaware of the preamble.... I just saw my team-mate getting what looked like unprovoked right jabs to the face). I wonder if something like that happened today.

Whatever the outcome, I hope it causes disruption amongst the gang of disreputable cheats.

I suppose another way of looking at it is to note that their intraclub practice match was pretty "fair dinkum!".

 

I heard discussions today that cloke and santa have been at each other for some time, not just today. I think the AFL might actually step in here. Not so much for the punch but kicking a bloke while is out for the count is a dog of a low act. That is placing the game into disrepute. I saw a similar thing happen 20 years ago in a Federal league match, Clayton v someone and a player who kicked a bloke when he was on the ground out cold was marched off the ground by an off duty cop!

On a side note Carazzo has a broken forearm and will miss 6 to 7 weeks. That will certainly stuff his fitness up til mid year Id reckon

Thanks carltank for taking our woes out of the media spotlight for a few days. Couldnt happen to nicer bunch!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
