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

"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.

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

Yes fair and square in the family jewels. Low act. Looks as though Cloke does something just prior to Setanta getting up. Did Cloke bite? It will be all over the news....

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!

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

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.

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!

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
