Interesting history from the Guardian
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.

And we thought BBBBH had issues!!
Nice find!!
Some mates and I were going to do a Bloodbath reenactment, but it didn't quite workout.
Ted Whitfield was the main theme of the story - AFL Round 14 ? Sydney v Carlton: Not exactly a bloodbath
Probably also explains why the umpires don't give us a fair go , they must have long memories. I'd love to know how the goal umpire got involved in all of that.
Yes, a great story but what about that photo with the Lake Oval's beautiful red grandstand in the background? Magnificent!
Brings back so many memories, good and bad!
Great story

Brings back memories. this article is no exaggeration. I still have vivid memories of a number of these incidents, particularlyWhitfield pulling the jumper over his head with the umpire chasing him to try to get his number ,and the hits of Nash on Chitty and Basher Williams on Hands. Actually these two incidents eventually had a negative result for the Swans. Hands was in the process of being carried from the ground just before half time, which in those days would have prevented him taking any further part in the game, when the bell rang to end the first half. When play resumed he returned ,and played a pivotal part in the Carlton revival along with Chitty who was moved to the forward line kicking a couple of important goals
Great article - the guardian Oz website is really going well imo. Much better then the dribble on most other news websites these days.
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."
