Despite the altercation, both O'Brien and McHenry are back in good spirits, with the latter even taking to Instagram to show no rift remains.
The incident isn't the first of its kind at West Lakes, with two similar tussles having taken place in recent years.
Defender Wayne Milera and ex-Crow Jake Kelly were also involved in a scuffle during a intra-club practice match in February.
In June 2020, Billy Frampton and former Adelaide defender Kyle Hartigan came to blows in a heated brawl at training.
The trio of incidents have all come under Matthew Nicks' tenure at the Crows, with his assistant Scott Burns playing down the incident between Milera and Kelly at the time.
โI thought (the game) was played in really good spirits,โ he said.

โItโs a really tight group and what you want is competitive players, and those two are definitely competitive.โ
