The FDFL! Who did you play for?
I was (and still am) a Braybrook boy. Some of our stoushes against North Melbourne/Kensington were legendary.
Played for St Albans juniors, Albanvale and Kealba Green Gully. Given our ages it wouldnt surprise me if we played against each other. I think I used to play against braybrook when I was playing for Kealba.
North Melbourne/Kensington!! We had one ripper of a fight against them where a football game broke out.
We had 2 ambulances turn up to ferry away some of the injured. Unfortunately it was always our players that seemed to get ferried away. This is back when no one would step foot in that area let alone buy property there. There was a rumour that some teams used to get peppered with ball bearings and slug gun pellets from the crowd while playing at their home ground.
In 1986 we had two ripper brawls with North/Ken. The first one at their home ground, just in front of the old commission flats. It was the under 15's, and I'd made the jump up from u13's to make up the numbers on the bench. Our ruckman got king hit a beauty - split his mouth open requiring about 6 stitches from memory. Didn't phase him though - he turned around and decked the bloke, then laid some boots into him. Of course these were the old "one in, all in" days so our coach was screaming at us on the bench to get out there and look after our mates - I was shitting myself! Still got in there and did my bit though, much to my Mothers chagrin.
The second game at our home ground had a blew break out before the opening bounce - and got worse from there. It got to the stage in the 2nd quarter that a spectator called the cops. There were fights in the crowd, the lot. The cops turned up at half time, and the game was abandoned.
That same round, or maybe a week or two after, a game between Yarraville and West Footscray was abandoned at half-time when the West Footscray team refused to leave the dressing sheds at half time because of the violence.
Those were the days.
