Ugly MCG fight during Collingwood's win over Hawthorn horrifies AFL fans
Don't miss out on the headlines from AFL. Followed categories will be added to My News. Footage of an ugly crowd incident during Collingwood's win over Hawthorn at the MCG on Friday night is going viral. A video taken by a spectator at the venue has been shared on social media and the clip has been swirling around cyberspace since the incident unfolded after the game on Friday night. FOX FOOTY, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every match of every round in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo?

The footage appears to show an altercation between a spectator and another group of Hawthorn supporters standing near the stairs of the bottom level of seating directly behind the goal posts. The clip that has been shared on social media does not include footage of any events leading up to the altercation. The incident appears to have unfolded in the back row of the official Hawthorn cheer squad sitting area. The footage shows punches appeared to be thrown and one moment where one supporter appeared to kick out towards another person. Stadium security staff then arrived at the scene. Footage of the incident shared on social media. Photo: X and @greg_briggs. Victoria Police have released a statement to confirming it is aware of a fight that broke out at the venue. 'Police were generally pleased with the crowd behaviour at the MCG for Friday night's AFL match, with an estimated crowd of 74,000,' Victoria Police said. 'There were a small number of behavioural issues with ten people evicted from the stadium by police. 'Officers are aware of a fight which broke out following an altercation between a small group about 10.30pm. 'A 32-year-old man advised police that he was assaulted but did not wish to make a statement at that time. 'The man was not injured during the incident.' Footage of the incident has gone viral with one version of the clip viewed more than 130,000 times on X. Social media users have been commenting on the video with some disgusted about the event. 'I witnessed this with my family (kids) it was awful,' one person posted on X. 'Hawthorn cheersquad unleashed and was disgusting. Security was more concerned about settling older gentlemen to keep him from going to get police.' Another person wrote: 'We don't need this. It happens every week. It's not even surprising to see it anymore. 'It's getting out of control. People can't wait to throw punches at rival footy fans these days. It's awful. 'Just have fans sitting among their own supporters instead of this. So much better. One social media user posted: 'I remember a time when fighting was rare at an Aussie Rules game'. Another person on X wrote: 'Male violence is disgusting'. Meanwhile, there will also be a heavy, 'visible' police presence around Melbourne's sporting precinct on Saturday ahead of the A-League Grand Final between Melbourne City and Melbourne Victory at AAMI Park.

Victoria Police released a statement on Saturday informing the public they have 'bolstered resourcing around the venue, surrounding licensed venues and public transport hubs throughout Richmond and the CBD'. Police said in an earlier statement: 'While the focus this weekend will be on preventing and de-escalating any incidents, police will have zero tolerance for anyone engaging in reckless or anti-social behaviour, whether it is before or after the match. 'Only two weeks ago a splinter group of supporters lit around 15 flares under a bridge on Swan Street while marching to a game on Saturday 17 May. 'Police have serious concerns about this behaviour as billowing smoke under a train line can disrupt the public transport network and cause safety issues. 'Victoria Police has undertaken significant planning and worked closely with the A-League, clubs, stadium management, security providers and licensees to ensure the event is safe for those attending and the entire community.'

Brisbane Cup on cards for Kiwi import Campaldino after third straight win at Eagle Farm
Don't miss out on the headlines from Horse Racing. Followed categories will be added to My News. Former Kiwi Campaldino must have felt like he was back in his former homeland as he relished the heavy Eagle Farm conditions to take out the Group 3 Queen Elizabeth II Cup (2400m). There were wild betting fluctuations in the staying event, raced on a Heavy 8 surface, as one-time favourite Immediacy took a bath in betting and blew from $4.20 to $7. • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Immediacy was given a good run in transit by James McDonald but the Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young-trained gelding never fired a shot and was beaten out of sight. Punters zeroed in on former import Dillian, trained by locals Will and Peter Hulbert, and he was backed from $10 to $5.50 favourite in the belief he was a swimmer. Dillian was also well beaten but, meanwhile, Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained Campaldino ($7.50) was enjoying the conditions under jockey Tim Clark. This was a big step up from wins at a midweek event and the Orange Cup. But the four-year-old who started his racing career on the other side of the ditch has now put three consecutive wins on the board. 'He relished the conditions and he's been a progressive horse and he is starting to put is all together now,' Bott said. 'There's more upside there and he is racing with a bit of confidence. 'We came up here with a bit of confidence the way he'd been working since his last run and the way he's been all preparation. 'When the rain came it filled us with confidence.' Bott said it was onwards and upwards towards the Group 2 Brisbane Cup over 3200m on Stradbroke Handicap day at Eagle Farm in a fortnight. Clark said Campaldino felt like a new horse. 'He made a really big leap there coming from midweeks,' Clark said. 'He's just been a different horse since Gai and Adrian took the blinkers off him. 'He was wanting to overdo it. With the blinkers off he relaxes really well. 'He conserves his energy and it was a really dominant performance there. 'The way he's relaxing in his races is the key and I'm sure over two miles he'll do the same.' The Waterhouse and Bott and Clark team was back in business in the following race with New Endeavour taking out the Group 3 Lord Mayor's Cup (1800m). It was the former import's first win Down Under but he did boast a runner-up finish in last year's Group 1 Doomben Cup.

Boys Night Out secures trainer Matt Dunn his 39th Highway victory at Rosehill after 46-week drought
Don't miss out on the headlines from Horse Racing. Followed categories will be added to My News. Leading country trainer Matt Dunn ended a 46-week drought Highway drought when Boys Night Out made light work of his opposition at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday. Dunn, the state's most successful Highway Handicap-winning trainer, last won one when Cranky Harry saluted at Royal Randwick on July 13 last year. • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Boys Night Out's 1500m win was Dunn's 39th Highway victory and winning jockey Aaron Bullock said the four-year-old gelding has bigger things ahead. 'It's not often you get one that's a standout in a Highway but today I was confident that was the case,' Bullock said. 'He was dynamite. He's better than a Highway horse.' Bullock's only concern during Saturday's contest was a foreign object being carried by Anna Roper aboard Straight Fire. 'In the early stages Anna (Roper) crossed me with the towel flapping all over the joint,' he said. 'She must have forgotten to get rid of it before the race and it wasn't until after we'd gone about 400m, when luckily she'd crossed me and gone down to the fence, that the towel went flying.' Boys Night Out made use of barrier two, never further than a few horses off the speed before being eased out into clear running from the top of the straight and the race was quickly put to bed. The son of Nay Nay Never (USA) started the $2.80 favourite and defeated My Last Hooray ($13) by 3¾ lengths with the $3.20 second favourite Warrior For Peace a half-length back in third. 'Soft draws always help and I was able to put him into the perfect spot, he got into lovely rhythm and I was saying 'woo boy' at the corner,' Bulloch said. 'He was getting through the ground really easily and it was a case of going at the right time and in the end it didn't matter because he had plenty on them.'
