See the very thirsty marriage proposal from a single mother LUSTING after a premiership-winning footy star
One thirsty footy fan made her romantic intentions crystal clear when attending Saturday's clash against GWS at the Gabba. The woman in question also roped in her daughter to get the attention of star Brisbane Lions defender Brandon Starcevich - who she wants to marry. 'I don't want your boots....I want your last name,' read the single mother's cringeworthy handwritten proposal. 'I need a step my mum,' a separate message from the young girl read. The Lions' social media team saw the funny side of the bold proposal, posting it on their official Facebook page pre-game. 'Your move Starce,' was the accompanying message - and it also didn't long for footy fans to weigh in on the woman's quest for romance. 'Don't ask, don't get,' said one. 'HAHAHAHA honestly I appreciate the hustle,' posted a second. 'This is atrocious,' a third bluntly stated. On the field, the Giants showed they are genuine premiership contender following a hard-fought 11 point win. Spearheads Aaron Cadman and Jesse Hogan booted a combined 11 goals, with the hosts once again wasteful in front of goal. Their mood was further soured when Lions defender Jack Payne picked up a serious left knee injury after landing awkwardly in a marking contest. Play was halted for more than 10 minutes while Payne was assisted from the field. The club suspects the 25-year-old has suffered a ruptured patellar tendon, with scans to determine his fate.

Shocking violence from Hawthorn supporters caught on camera in the wake of big loss to Collingwood at the MCG
Shocking footage has emerged of Hawthorn fans striking and kicking a man at the MCG in the wake of the the club's heavy loss to Collingwood on Friday night. Rampaging Collingwood have blown Hawthorn away by 51 points at the MCG, inflicting a third-straight defeat upon the Hawks. And tensions appeared to boil over in the stands after the defeat, with vision showing several attendees in Hawthorn supporter gear lashing out at another footy fan. One of the Hawthorn supporters held the man in a stairwell so he could not escape, striking him in the back of the head. While he was restrained, the man was also kicked and struck with a rolled up supporter flag. Eventually security arrived on the scene and the Hawks supporters released the young man. Move over Carlton fans, there's a new leader for the biggest bunch of sore losers #aflpieshawks — Jacob ⚫️⚪️🤘 (@MagpieMetalcore) May 30, 2025 A Victoria Police spokesperson confirmed that 10 attendees were ejected from the MCG on Friday. 'Police were generally pleased with the crowd behaviour at the MCG for Friday night's AFL match, with an estimated crowd of 74,000,' they 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.' Footy fans were shocked by the vision. 'This is actually upsetting to see. physically assaulting someone over a game is actually insane behaviour,' one posted. 'Give all involved lifetime bans we don't need to end up going down the EPL route with drunken a***holes ruining it for everyone,' added another. 'I witnessed this with my family (kids) it was awful. @HawthornFC cheersquad unleashed and was disgusting,' a stunned mother posted. The incident is the latest act of violence to break out a the MCG after a string of fights and altercations in recent years. In April 2025, two men were arrested for allegedly bringing loaded firearms into the MCG during a blockbuster Carlton vs. Collingwood match. Despite the stadium's adoption of AI-powered security technology, the men reportedly bypassed detection, prompting serious questions about current protocols. Victoria Police confirmed both men were charged, and investigations into how the weapons entered the venue are ongoing. A year earlier, in April 2024, violence erupted inside the exclusive MCC Members' Dining Room during the ANZAC Round clash between Hawthorn and Sydney. T he altercation reportedly began when a teenager refused to stand for the national anthem, sparking an argument that escalated into a physical brawl. Two men sustained minor injuries, and the incident drew widespread condemnation for tarnishing the respectful tone of the evening. Crowd violence has not been confined to private sections. In August 2022, following a tense match between Collingwood and Carlton, three separate fights broke out in and around the ground. One viral video showed multiple men exchanging punches outside the stadium, with one individual knocked to the pavement. Police were called to disperse the crowds and investigate the altercations. Similar scenes were witnessed in March 2019 during the AFL season opener between Richmond and Carlton. A 19-year-old was arrested after a violent clash broke out in the stands. Footage of the fight circulated online, prompting the AFL to consider banning those involved from future matches. That same year, another confrontation occurred during a Collingwood vs. GWS game, this time in the Olympic Stand. The situation escalated when a man reportedly poured a drink over a security guard. Police deployed capsicum spray to subdue multiple individuals. Two men were arrested as fans fled the area.
