Police are investigating a vicious brawl after shocking footage emerged of the wild fight following Sunday’s AFL blockbuster.

Mate it was Greek Australians. Facts are facts. Probably the same fuckheads that turn up at the Australian Open every year with the Serb clowns to cause a ruckus. Don't worry it was all Skips blewing at the AFL and the NRL. Fuckheadedness isn't culturally specific.

Look at the difference in reporting though. Imagine if these clowns were on their way to the sokkah. “Those involved in that incident left the scene before police arrived and no victim has come forward at this time,” a Victoria Police spokesperson said, reports The Herald Sun.
“Unfortunately, there were a few disappointing incidents with police arresting an intoxicated male who was being evicted and found to be in possession of drugs.”

Fark don't show that to FA/NSD people, now it will never get up and running.
Irrespective of the Sport, the behaviour is often 'Skata', pardon the French.

Poor buggers had crap spot to watch whole game instead of proper designated area. tv producer wankers didn’t think it was wrong to take over spot in first place?! Thoughtless pricks.

Wheelchair access seating positions should never be used by anyone else. I am surprised at the comment that the wheelchair access seating in the lower tier has problems with the view being blocked when fans stand up in response to the play. Properly designed access seating places the seating platen at a height above the platen in front such that the view can't be blocked.

The expect everyone to "know" the game... NRL is the same, I had an argument with a Sydneysider once when I asked him if "Rabittohs" was "pirate speak" for rabbits?

don't know what you expect tsf when you have one of these looney lebs/ or whatever nationality going off, by the look of it the green shirts were his club. At least someone tried to drag the idiot away followed by others. What a weak POS the guy is - sadly many more around like him. In arguing for his client's release, Mr Abdallah's lawyer Talal Krayem said his client had acted "out of character for a minute of his life". He also said his client's memory of the incident had been affected because he was hit on the head with a sideline pole, a moment that had not been captured on video. Wish someone made sure he lost alot more having knocked 4 teeth out and broke the officials jaw. Mr Krayem said his client could offer a $250,000 surety for his release and was willing to surrender his passport. Mr Abdallah was supported in court by a large number of friends and relatives, including his pregnant wife. In denying bail, Magistrate Glen Walsh said he was disinclined to believe the accused did not remember the incident and the evidence instead suggested "someone in full control of his facilities chasing after a man and beat him savagely". "The very nature of what happens betrays an incapacity to maintain control," he said. Good on the magistrate - lock him up throw the key away.

I know it's a bit much to ask with rival codes always at each others' necks, but the issue of ref respect and safety is a society wide problem and needs a bipartisan appraoch. First step is that they heads of the 4 football codes at the very least should front the media and provide a single message to the community that shit shouldn't happen in a civilised society.
Sadly though, it appears they others are happy to sit and watch sockah get its run through the media over this, just as much as they/we all are when it's an NRL or aussie rules ref.

Sort of, not really related but rather than start a new thread. Referee abuse. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/reece-walsh-will-be-ok-but-what-about-the-referees-who-are-being-abused-20230629-p5dkbn.htmlWalsh’s evidence was also considered unreliable after he said he was responding to Carrigan’s remark to “slow your f---ing brain”.
“Even accepting that those words were said by player Carrigan, and giving full weight to the fact that tensions were obviously high, the majority took the view that as a matter of common sense, the words said by player Walsh were essentially non-responsive to what had been said to him and were not explicable on the basis of them sharing a ‘close relationship’,” Bellew wrote.
“That was particularly so, in circumstances where the evidence of player Walsh was that had understood player Carrigan’s words to mean that he should ‘think and be smart’. If that was his understanding, there was simply no need to ask player Carrigan what he had meant. That factor tended against a conclusion that the words were said to player Carrigan as opposed to the referee.”
In other words, Walsh’s argument was so flimsy and didn’t make sense, so it wasn’t considered.
Broncos officials and teammates are throwing an arm around their young fullback, saying how he’ll learn from this episode and grow and how they’ve got his back and blah blah blah. The same things were said two years ago when he was busted by police on the Gold Coast with a bag of cocaine.
Walsh is being widely supported, but where’s the support and care for the referee? For the touch judge who copped a mouthful from an entitled 20-year-old for doing his job? Where’s the respect for all referees, who are under as much pressure as Walsh but on a fraction of the money?
In 2018, leading referee Matt Cecchin opened up to this masthead about the abuse that was driving him out of the game.
After making a controversial - and correct - call in the dying minutes of the World Cup semi-final between Tonga and England in Auckland, Cecchin received an avalanche of death threats on social media, so much so that New Zealand Police and Australian Federal Police noticed it and gave a police escort home to Sydney.
That article was supposed to be a line-in-the-sand moment for how we treated match officials. It certainly changed the way I wrote and spoke about them.
But, if anything, the abuse has worsened.
Ben Cummins still becomes emotional when he talks about the fallout from his controversial decision to reverse a set restart in the 2019 NRL grand final between Canberra and the Roosters.
When Jason Paris, the chief executive of Warriors’ sponsor One NZ, accused the referees of cheating earlier this year, it was disturbing how much support he was given.
It’s just as bad in other sports. The growing abuse of Super Rugby referees was highlighted earlier this week when Ben O’Keeffe revealed on Instagram the extent of the abuse he received after officiating in the Super Rugby Pacific final between the Chiefs and Crusaders in Hamilton on Saturday.
His post was disturbing with direct messages from people threatening to kill, stomp or punch him. Read one: “You should have been in that titan submarine you arse wipe.”
O’Keeffe also pointed to the plight of English football referee Anthony Taylor, who was attacked by a mob of angry Roma supporters at an airport in Budapest after their Europa League final defeat to Sevilla earlier this month.
“I think back to the referee walking through the airport and his family getting chairs thrown at them,” added O’Keeffe. “I hope my family is never subjected to this but the direction some fans are going now in rugby, I know we are closer than we have ever been.”
The NRL is considering tougher sanctions for referee abuse. It should direct the judiciary into longer time on the sidelines. Give Walsh six weeks. Give him 10. I bet he wouldn’t say another word to a ref or touchie for the rest of his career.
Referees should also be charged with greater authority to send players from the field, even if they don’t hear what was said. The Bunker rules on every other aspect of what happens on the field — surely that can be broadened to what is said to the whistleblower.
They need to be empowered to not tolerate any dissent. Can you imagine how former referee Bill Harrigan, who is considered the best of all time, would have reacted to Walsh’s remark?
Mostly, though, the responsibility should fall to the players, who could do worse than go to a junior footy match and watch how parents, and then their children, speak to referees, most of whom are either volunteers or teenagers.
This week, I was told about a recent rugby league match being abandoned because of the abuse of the referee.
The age group? Under 6s.

That article is typical firewalled to join but I get the gist........ the days of the good ol good sportmanship terminology has gone out the window the modern age...... Parents on sidelines have lost the plot like they are on SM that I'm not involved in but hear enough so many wouldn't have the gall saying the same to your face but its creeping in more and more at local grounds. Hand to you being a ref Muz. Having been at local grounds all my life as a player and watching parent I just shake my head and most times stand on the opposite side away from these types calling out more and more at grounds. We also see the gall of players more arguing with you refs/linos over BS - like they are in the EPL and other big leagues today because they have influenced this attitude as well. Don't think it will change but get worse, sure there was always a small % of fucktards but its alot more today, christ U6's not surprised, seen it right through to U16's in football nowadays.
Love Football

Didn't want to start a new thread but how's this? AFL testing players and then telling them to fake an injury when they've tested positive. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-27/afl-drugs-policy-tightrope-analysis/103639040

Interesting that this sort of thing is barely a blip in the news cycle. Of course lucky for us we don't have to worry about 'lack of security'. https://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/leichhardt-oval-hill-exposes-disgusting-football-disgrace-that-simply-must-end/news-story/d2eb6d874b09b3cbfc0e5a1d39cd43fb“I’m on the hill at Leichhardt Oval right now and the disgusting, misogynistic, violent and offensive language we are being subjected to by a specific handful of male Tigers fans right now is so reprehensible and vile I can’t tell you,” Barr tweeted on Saturday.
She said both Tigers and Sharks fans alike were subjected to the torrent of abuse, reporting that security, stadium staff and police didn’t intervene.
Even when an elderly man was nearly knocked to the ground, while another one “addressed with a threatening and aggressive tone when he politely asked them to watch out for his small grandson while they were staggering around”.
“Shame on the men around them who laughed and said nothing,” Barr added.
“Shame on the school that apparently employs one of these clowns, spotted carrying on like a goose by his students who started calling out ‘yeah, let’s have a beer, sir’.
“And shame on those who – when I posted on X about this experience – said I’m soft, this is what footy is like, and I should cop it or get out.
“Men are using violent, offensive language towards players and about women and I should leave the game because that’s just how things are?
“Footy matches are not special places where men get a pass from behaving like respectable human beings.”
Barr also called out the lack of security and seeming lack of responsible service of alcohol.

Not really the place but rather than start a new thread. Dead AFL player Harley Balic’s dad makes devastating drug use claim | news.com.au — Australia’s leading news siteIn an explosive development, News Corp reports that during his career Balic was placed into the AFL’s controversial “medical model” that opens the door for players to take illicit substances without facing penalties. According to the report, Balic’s death has become the focus of a Sports Integrity Australia (SIA) investigation. The Australian anti-doping watch dog in March said it had begun assessing allegations made by Federal MP Andrew Wilkie surrounding the sport’s illicit drug policy.

Is there is any more insure sport in Australia than the AFL? Happy to take stadiums away from world cups to releasing league match schedules during Australia vs Argentina in the World Cup game but are happy to promote their own vile to get free clicks?
What a weird mob.

Serious question. Are there a lot of drugs in our domestic football compared to footy and rugby? And how about domestic violence? Every month in the other codes someone's girlfriend is being bashed and someone else is caught doing lines, but our code seems pretty quiet on those fronts.

Every month in the other codes someone's girlfriend is being bashed and someone else is caught doing lines, but our code seems pretty quiet on those fronts. I'm probably stereotyping a bit but... All sports have their share of idiots, but I'd suggest that AFL & Rugby have a somewhat higher %age of meatheads, so there's a bit more drug use & DV than the statistical average. You also shouldn't have any doubts about embedded the AFL is with the Police - at least in Victoria. https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/how-police-empowered-afl-20101012-16hu4.htmlA CONTROVERSIAL deal struck between Victoria Police and the AFL to co-operate on criminal matters gave the league extraordinary rights to investigate football identities and to vet public disclosure of police inquiries. Previously secret details of the deal, made public yesterday, show that police were required to consult the AFL before commenting on their own investigations into AFL players, coaches, board members or even staff.
