Aisake O'hAilpin Biography

Aisake O'hAilpin will sit out of football indefinitely as an Appeals Board determines whether to proceed with AFL Northern Territory's protest of a not guilty finding.

The NT Football League Tribunal had cleared O'hAilpin of a serious misconduct charge while playing for Nightcliff last week.

Aisake O'hAilpin faces deregistration from the game for allegedly headbutting ex-Saint Raphael Clarke in a Northern Territory Football League match.

A ban of two games or more would push O'hAilpin beyond the 16-game suspension threshold that would see him automatically deregistered.
