Cameron Cloke, a former AFL player, was the perpetrator of a suspected coward punch during a Melbourne suburban football game, which has left the 38-year-old's playing future in doubt. The violent incident was caught on camera over the weekend, when Templestowe's Eastern Football League match against Boronia was set to begin.
