Plenty of virtue signalling BS going on here when no one knows the full story

What was the bald guy doing walking out with a beer. They don't allow you to leave the bar with a beer in your hand?

And what were the 'disabled' guys carer(s) doing allowing him to get into a verbal altercation and then knock a beer out of someone's hand?

Too many unkowns here to jump to conclusions

    "go off into the night and punch a wall if you have to"

    "F*** you dogs"

    Interesting guy.

    He was still in the ground standing when it was knocked out of his hand...he wasn’t walking out of the ground. It was a plastic cup which is allowed in the outer.

    The “disabled” man isn’t so disabled to require a carer, going by his interviews on Hawthorn Fan TV.

    I just read in  The AGE that the 'disabled' man admitted throwing beer over the bald guy. So it may not be as some here have suggested. The guy clearly uses profanities freely so may not be as blameless as people are suggesting.

    Nonetheless it's just too hard to know what the real story is. Let the police do their job

    I agree strongly with your last line, but I just want to say that nobody has suggested he’s blameless. He is obviously a loose unit and by all accounts, poured plenty of petrol on the fire.

    Apparent minor offence, likely common assault. If the offender has been released following interview pending a summons that tells me:that he has no criminal history for similar offences (or he would have been bailed). He will receive a good behaviour bond.

    This type of behaviour happens numerous times over any given weekend right around the country. Fools turn into “Beeroes” after a gutful of grog and want to punch somebody else. If that outrages you, I’d like to see the response to something serious like murder, rape, armed robbery, child sex offences, drug importation and multiple fatality vehicle collisions. Save the “outrage” for the victims of the  low life’s that commit or cause those incidents.

    agreed jrMc.

    Disabled... very difficult to tell he's disabled,  if your saw him at the footy being interviewed.  especially if he'd been drinking.?

    I heard from a friend who attended the match that the Hawks supporters were very abusive when they thought they would beat us. Then they went quiet when we won.

    What this guy did was totally unacceptable but the AFL is largely to blame. I don’t take my young children to the football very often because in the last 10 years the behaviour of opposition fans has deteriorated immensely, largely because so many thugs seem intent on getting smashed on beer and insulting our supporters, rather than being true football fans.

    The AFL don’t care. They just want increased revenue.

    The first match I ever took my son to, 5 years ago a Bulldogs fan king hit an older Demons supporter right next to us at the end of the game. It was pretty awful stuff and I see trouble nearly every match I attend now. I think that crowd segregation will arrive sooner rather than later if the AFL does not prioritise the game rather than simply making big profits.

    Very interesting post. reason being I went to the Anzac day games, both ours and the NRL match. I would have thought with the constant tackling in the NRL the supporting would be very aggressive. To my surprise the Supporting at AFL games is far more aggressive than what I experienced at the NRL.

    His point was that it was only a light bashing. It’s fine to bash someone if they mouth off a bit.

    By the way, he has no idea what I have and haven’t seen.

    Is it OK for someone to slap someone else on the face, Nash ?

    If it was your child they were bashing, then you might think differently. Football and beer don’t mix well. Watch the match at home or the pub if you want to get drunk. Otherwise go and actually enjoy the football!

    As there are no apparent injuries to the victim, it is regarded as unlawful assault which is a summary offence, with no arrest powers.

    A “field” interview is conducted, therefore he is not placed in police custody and can’t be bailed. 

    If charges are laid then he will appear in court via summons. 

    Prior convictions don’t have anything to do with it, until he potentially appears in court.

    If the ‘disabled’ guy threw the beer over the Melbourne supporter and the Melbourne supporter retaliated by punching him, he won’t even be charged. There’s plenty of defences to assault and he has one. 

    If you don’t want to be punched, don’t assault someone by throwing a beer over them. Simple. 

    And ‘clearly disabled’? Pull the other one. The latest updates as reported on the news support my first post.

    Would you try punching fans who are often 1.88  metres and taller, weighing over 100kgs? Rugby is a tough game. Those guys have less antagonism in their blood.

    The really tough players in the AFL often don’t get involved in all that wrestling and elbowing on the field. They go after blokes in the tackle, legally! Rugby has that same philosophy.

    Bloke bashes the daylights out of a mentally impaired man, but it’s all fine because they exchanged a few words and the victim knocked a beer out of his hand beforehand.

    F me, our society’s attitude towards violence is the pits. It staggers me that anyone thinks this is even remotely defensible, or that the two acts are in any way comparable.

    The voice of reason. Thank you.

    To those who reckon he has form or deserved it ..wake up.

    Nobody deserves the possibility of permanent brain damage or death over a disagreement at a footy game. Ffs theres much more baiting on the field and it should never be settled by sucker punching someone. 

    Massive gutless and moronic action and doesnt deserve to wear red and blue.

    Unfortunately Nasher in this day and age you have to point that out

    You reckon back in the 70s and 80s it would have been better?

    There is less violence these days. It’s just that you see every example posted on the internet these days

    Dubdee I've been a cop since 1996 I know exactly how much violence there is now days.

    I also remember the 80s and violence but I was only young in the 70s.

    When you stepped out of line you got a clip, you respected your elders, authority and we didn't carry on like that at the footy.

    On another note are you a Dub?

    I remember the good old days when the law tried to make you sign blank charge sheets in triplicate and whacked you over the head with a telephone book to leave no bruises when telephone books were massive and weighed a couple of kilos.  If you didn’t sign they might kindly drive you home. I hope policing has changed since then. I do remember mindless thuggery at the footy as well as the cricket in the 70’s. Footy is a regular teddy bears picnic these days.

    Yeah im a Dub. Moved here as a kid in 88. Sean and Jim were why I started following the Dees. 

    No doubt in my mind if you mouth off and tipped someone’s beers over back in the day you get a gut punch or worse. Agree on the lack of respect point

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
