EP had the ball inside their forward 50 for most of the second quarter but couldn't really capatilize. The strong breeze heading towards to the Northern end is playing a big part in this game.
Incorrect, the game was completed and I wouldn't call it an 'all in brawl'. There was a tussle between supporters. I have to say it was quite entertaining.
I watched the whole thing as it happened right where I was sitting. Firstly Brad Woodward was getting frustrated and started to throw is weight around. The EP runner was trying to get him off the ground and while he was trying to get him off a WOS water boy was getting stuck into him. This agitated Woodward even more and when he came to the EP bench he was calling the waterboy over as if he wanted to fight him. Then a WOS supporter who was standing behind me starting having a go at Woodward. Woodward who was cleary upset and angry then climbed over to the fence over to the WOS supporter before being pulled away. As that happened an EP supporter came up, grabbed and threw the WOS supporter to the ground. It was for young and old then, a few WOS supporters tried to protect the guy who was thrown to ground as a large number of EP supporters got involved. Security were in there quick smart and while it got quite heated they diffused the situation quite well.
Not the first time, nor will it be the last time we'll see behaviour like this from the Northern suburbs clubs and their supporters when things don't go their way.
******* immature, poor sportsmanship which most of us have had to endure at some stage playing or supporting the game we love.
I had to drop the portable PA system back to HQ on the way back from Towns and cops were still there and it wasn't until I was on my way out again that I found out why. Needless to say, the fence jumper has been reported.
He'd have a few games behind him too I reckon (although de ja vu says I've had this convo before with someone and they said i may have been mistaking him for Fenwick )
My new Mantra - I am no longer available to things and people that make me feel like shit
What a jerk! EP got what they deserved recruiting someone like him. Saw him twice this year & he spat at the crowd in both games. Do yourself a favour EP & get rid of him. Congrats to WOS - finals specialists!
