Former AFL player in hospital after ugly king hit

Queensland police are investigating after former Collingwood player Jason Cloke was king hit during an AFL Masters Queensland over 35s game on Saturday.
Cloke spent the night in hospital following the ugly incident in the second quarter which forced the umpires to call off the match between the Broadbeach Cats, where Cloke is co-captain and coach, and the Burleigh Bombers.
After a fracas broke out between other players, and a Burleigh Bombers player was sent off, the player in question turned back struck Cloke in the face with an elbow.
