Setanta O'Hailpin punches and kicks Cameron Cloke

[JeffDunne]

I just saw the interview with Ratten on FSN and he didn't really seem too fussed.

He could have at the very least wiped the smirk off his face

 

[Team Mo']

Interesting in the fox sports article that Ratten pretty much confirmed sacking him was an option to be weighed up...

So that quote confirmed it did it?

This sort of reminds me of a pair of mates who are twins, both got into a few fights in a few months. Their dad one night when talking about it with all of us said
"My boys just have very punchable heads"

Trav Cloke & now Cam Cloke, I wonder what Jason must be thinking (does he??).

I hope the AFL doesn't take action and leaves it up to the club on this one, footy clubs during pre-season are a COAP and everyone gets heated.

Carlton just rang it's PR company. Replace, "they know we're coming" to "they know we're imploding"

Just saw a number of times on fox. Both players wrestling for about 5 to 10 seconds. O'Halpin was in the dominant wrestling position over Cloke. Cloke tries to throw the first punch, and misses. O'halpin ends skirmish with 2 quick punches, wich leaves Cloke lying on the ground. Then walks of after giving him a small kick up the backside. Nothing in it.

If you could read and comprehend you would see my sentence says Ratten pretty much confirmed it as "an option"... read ... THINK... then post

So will he be cited for attempted striking?

This used to happen a lot more before the days of media saturation at training.

Quite often players absolutely hated their teammates much more than their opponents.

Ah, the good ol' days

I just saw the same thing and I will be staggered if he is a Carlton player this time next week. Fox sport reports that Ratten is pissed off and senior Carlton players are calling for immediate action.

What are you talking about? He was up within 10 seconds.

The punch TBh didn't look like it landed. Thought it went to the throat more then the head. Looked there was a punch thrown from both players but it was 'kicked' off with the cheap shot from Setanta.

Yeah yeah, he stayed on the ground for 10 seconds but it took him a few minutes clearing his head with trainers around him before he made his way off.

Cloke went down like a sack of sh.it. And stayed down. Looked pretty soft actually.

Well you don't need much incentive to punch Cameron Cloke.

spot on

 

[HFC082]

awesome. Looks like both were willing participants. Move along, nothing to see/

Surely I am not the only one eagerly awaiting his Dads reaction to this. Must be hard when most of his kids are the leagues punching bags.

 

[Keys]

Seriously, why would you sack him?

Sure fine or suspend him but sacking him is a bit harsh - team mates punch sometimes it's not that unusual.

 

[Magpie_Matty]

with a name like sentata you would wanna be able to fight

Shall be interesting to hear what Damir has to say and if he will consider getting revenge like he considered on the GC in an interview.

 

[JeffDunne]

When people see the footage FSN are running I doubt they'll have any sympathy for the bloke.

Had he not kicked him then it would be no worse than what I've seen happen at training.

Simply put - he kicked his arse when a team mate was lying face down on the turf. Not a good look.

 

[FuManchu]

So I take it its N Ohail pin head at carlton now?

 

[Blues_Man]

Veiwing those stills it appears both players were throwing them willingly ..i would imagine Setanta will face some kind of club sanction ..IMO sacking a bloke for getting into a dust up with a team mate is a tad extreme.

I think Carlos is misunderstood. The beating and arse kicking on Cloke was just to prepare him for the treatment the blues will receive in Round 1.

Don't give up your day job ..as that was the lamest attempt at humor i have witnessed on BF ( and thats saying something)

What about kicking a team mate when he is on the ground? Disgraceful behaviour.
