Brendan Fevola marched off field after local footy incident
Brendan Fevola has been involved in a fiery on-field incident during a cameo football appearance in South Australia on Saturday. The Carlton cult hero was shown a yellow card and was sent off the field for 10 minutes for his role in a melee during South Whyalla's derby against Central Whyalla at Memorial Oval. The match was streamed live by the SA Regional Footy page on Facebook and the cameras captured the moment Fevola was involved in a scuffle in the final quarter of the Roosters' 6.10 (46) to 6.8 (44) win over the Demons.

The stream showed Fevola, playing for South Whyalla, turned and shoved a Central Whyalla player after he had been jabbed in the back as he stood on the mark following a grab taken near the goal square. Spectator vision obtained by The Advertiser, then shows the moment the former Coleman Medallist appeared to wrestle two opposition players before tensions boiled over. The publication reports Fevola and one opposition player began throwing punches at each other after a third Central Whyalla player ran into the scuffle and pushed the 44-year-old in the back. You can watch the full incident in the video player above. Vision shows the Fevola was dragged to the ground by a Central Whyalla player before the melee was broken up and play continued. Fevola was then shown a yellow card by the umpire and took a seat on the bench late in the game. The former Brisbane Lions forward was in good spirits after the game and was seen with fans during a promotional night for the football club. Fevola was not reported by the umpires for the incident. He has made a habit of causing drama at local footy matches this year. Fevola teamed up with Guy Sebastian to make a one-off appearance for VAFA Division 5 Thirds team the Masala Dandenong Football Club in May. Sebastian ended up limping from the field in the fourth quarter with a serious knee injury.

Brendan Fevola involved in wild brawl during local game
Carlton great Brendan Fevola has been involved in a fiery brawl during a local game in country South Australia. Fevola pulled on the boots for South Whyalla on the weekend, playing against fierce rivals Central Whyalla at Memorial Oval on Saturday. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Fevola in fight during local clash. Since his 204-game, 623-goal AFL career ended, Fevola has played for a host of local clubs around Victoria, including a season in which he played for a new team every week in what was effectively a tour of exhibition matches. The 44-year-old almost always draws a big crowd to his matches and this was no exception, with the packed house treated to an absolute thriller. Fevola kicked two crucial goals to help his side to a two-point victory, but it was a scuffle late on in the contest that drew the most attention.

The much-loved figure responded by grabbing that opponent's jumper and unleashing a series of jumper punches, some of which appeared to connect. He was then slung to the crowd during the brawl that looked like it was a three-on-one against Fevola. 'Not sure if this is a fairly good welcome, is it? He's come in to play a game of footy for the Whyalla footy league and he's getting a fair bit of attention,' the commentator said. Play continued as the fight eventually dissipated with South Whyalla holding a 10-point lead. The thrilling victory lifted South Whyalla up to third place on the ladder, just one win behind Central Whyalla in the six-team league. Fevola and pop star Guy Sebastian last month lined up for the Masala Dandenong Football Club Thirds, inspiring the local club to a rare victory after 20 straight losses. Sebastian showed some crafty skills through the midfield before getting behind the mic at half-time to belt out a few of his biggest hits, much to the delight of the more than 2500 in attendance. But his day ended in pain after rupturing his Achilles tendon. Sebastian joined the circle for the team song while on crutches, then shared his own update in a light-hearted post on Instagram. 'Thought I'd strap on the boots after a LONG hiatus and performed for the locals,' he wrote. 'Great day out for Masala Dandenong getting their first win with Brendan Fevola kicking a bag! 'Unfortunately I've done a proper number on myself. #realitycheck #sticktosinging #footyglorydaysareover.'

See the moment AFL legend turned radio star Brendan Fevola gets into a fight with three rivals in footy grudge match
Carlton great Brendan Fevola has been filmed in a nasty brawl with two rival footballers as he played for a struggling South Australian club on Sunday. The 44-year-old ran out for South Whyalla and kicked two goals to play a big role in the club's two-point win over bitter rivals Central Whyalla - but got into a heated melee in the fourth quarter of the match. Fevola was in a confrontation with two opposition players when a third ran in and smashed into him from behind. 'Fev' reacted by grabbing the opposition player's jersey with his right hand and punching him repeatedly in the upper chest while his own top was nearly ripped off as he was slung to the ground, taking the two rivals with him. Footage of the incident was captured by SA Regional Footy. 'Fev's into it!' one of the commentators said. 'Fev's getting a how do you do,' his calling partner added. 'Young Quirky's into it! Hello, hello, hello! Gee, he's got three versus one. 'Not sure if this is a fairly good welcome, is it? He's come in to play a game of footy for the Whyalla footy league and he's getting a fair bit of attention.' Fevola was awarded a free kick after the stoush but was also 'sent off' for 10 minutes in that final quarter, News Corp reported. The two goals from the former Blues champion were crucial in the 6.10 (46) to 6.8 (44) victory, but it's not the first time he has made headlines while playing for a struggling club. On May 10 he and singer Guy Sebastian ran out for Masala Dandenong's reserves side as the club tried to break a long losing streak. The two stars helped the team record a two-point win - but Sebastian was forced to use crutches after rupturing his Achilles tendon. 'Guy actually played the first quarter, sung at half-time, sung virtually a whole concert and then he was so into it, he was actually having a crack,' Fevola explained. The 44-year-old (pictured during his time with the South Whyalla team on the weekend) was awarded a free kick after the wild confrontation 'Fev' made headlines during another game for a struggling club last month as his teammate Guy Sebastian (pictured together) picked up a serious injury 'He goes "I'll play the second half". Fourth quarter, I saw him fall down and I couldn't stop laughing because he just fell. I was like "mate, singers shouldn't play footy, footy players shouldn't sing, keep to your genre". 'And he looked around and he goes "I think something popped". I said that's not good, because I've done both Achilles. 'He's ruptured his Achilles. He's getting surgery on Monday and is in hospital. So he missed his mate's 40th but hey we got good headlines, which is great (laughs).' Their participation wasn't without controversy. Before the match, the Victorian Amateur Football Association launched an investigation into concerns raised by rival clubs over whether the high-profile pair were being paid - which is prohibited in the amateur league. The league confirmed both Fevola and Sebastian were cleared to play after assurances they would receive no payment or benefits.
