More Fans a Brawlin’! Australian Cop Bitten on Leg During Soccer Brawl

Those wacky Australians! Even their soccer brawls are unique. This one, which happened during the Central Australian Football League Under-17 grand final between Rovers FC and Hermannsburg FC at Traeger Park, and started with a player being red-carded, leaving the field and then returning. Punches were thrown, the referee was assaulted, and before you knew it more than a hundred players and fans were involved. Before it was all over, three cops had be assaulted: one had his shirt ripped off, one was struck with a wooden flag pole, and a third was somehow bitten on the leg.

This all happened just days after there was a peace march in town to ask for an end of all the violence going on between male residents of the town. Looks like they might need to march harder next time.

Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to find any video of this melee, but below is an Australian TV report that does include some still images and some great post-game, post brawl, interviews.

Australian Soccer Team Destroys Hotel Rooms

Been a while since we’ve had any good hotel mayhem stories, but leave it to the Aussies to do a little drinking and then do a lot of damage.

Members of a suburban football club have been accused of destroying several motel rooms and assaulting residents in a drunken rampage through a southwest Victorian town.  During the 4am (AEDT) incident, televisions and microwaves were thrown off a balcony at a motor inn in Warrnambool.

Police say two rooms were completely “ruined” while two others were damaged at the King Street business.  The rooms had been booked on Friday by about 20 men in their late teens and early 20s – all members of a southeast Melbourne football club.  The group is believed to have been behind several complaint calls throughout Warrnambool, including assault after they moved into the area on Friday afternoon.
