Not quite a country league but I can think of at least three massive crowd brawls in the SFL that I personally saw (granted I stopped playing down their 15 years ago). The GF had to be permanently moved to South Adelaide's oval to help stop the crap that was happening in the crowd on GF day.
The ADFL is huge compared to the country/outer metro leagues.
It definitely is a 'bigger' league but that doesn't mean individual crowds are bigger etc.
I love the ADFL and many of my best football memories are watching cracker ADFL battles on the field.
Just grates me that this type of behaviours continues to happen and even more sadly it seems in a high percentage of times to involve a northern suburbs club which as a proud northern suburbs boy makes it almost impossible to defend.
Ive seen clubs like EP try their absolute hardest to change the culture etc with very limited success which has threatened the clubs existence multiple times.
Who has the magic key, the magic formula to change this?
