Carlton youngster Clem Smith has been heavily reprimanded and forced to apologise to the entire playing group after a drunken altercation in which he was struck.

New Carlton coach Brendon Bolton has already read the proverbial riot act to Smith, who was involved in a drunken fight last weekend in the Chapel Street precinct.

He is facing disciplinary action by the club. Police attended the incident, but the club indicated no charges had yet been laid against any party.
 
Is he related to that Collingwood guy Clem Buterol?
 
I think what Clem did is serious enough to be treated on its own rather than just a distraction from Dustin Martin
And it will. Just saying it could take some of the media heat off dusty thats all.
 
Sad to see really. If you read Quayle's book he has had a really rough upbringing and because of that struggled to develop the professional attitude that the AFL requires. You'd hope this becomes a turning point for him, but that kind of cycle is really hard to break out of.

Does the title really need to refer to Martin?

Yes.
 
This story will disappear in a few days because no one except for Carlton supporters care about who he is.
Will get a 5k fine and small games suspension by the club
