There were a lot of sincere, honest mistakes where the head was mistaken for the ball. Let's face it they are about the same shape and size at a rough estimate..... Any way football has always been about if you cannot win fairly, why not have a go at losing unfairly, the result of the game isn't going to change anyhow....oh the wonderful satisfaction of evening up the ledger..... Those were the good old, honest days..... These days it's all about staging, grandstanding, and faking it like Hollywood acadamy award nominations stars..... Even fixing the results so that home crowd will come back next week, to spend some more of their borrowed money.....to fatten that big wallet that the AFL needs to fill.

Barry Hall, Tony Lockett and Wayne Carey were all thugs. Despite their recorded records at the time, they should not be celebrated as all time greats. They were nothing more than common street thugs, and pieces of shit. Yes, it was a different game back then, but there was no reason, whatsoever, to knock someone else out, causing them permanent brain damage and future neurological issues. Disgusting behaviour, and they ALL, amongst others as well, should be removed from 'fame' stature. No, I'm not a soft cock, I'm 50 and have seen the evolution of the game over this time.

Katie you lost get over it, save your money. Stop trying to be vindictive and look after your kid, just as Liam's parents should have done. Tragic story of a talented man descends into all about me or someone else. Sickening..

Only cowards hit you from behind!!

Dear God...please bring back AFL pre 2000. The stuff these days is just "keepings off". Netball is more exciting...LOL! Please bring back Rexy?!

Bet the dentist's were always busy

Love seeing Rhys-Jones clobbered, he was such a a gutless snake.

Matthews should have got a child protection medal for taking out Cable.

Who is the sydney player that slung his player to yhe ground and then stepped on his face ? 57 minutes in ...

Legal assault...and MASSIVE ego's started a lot of those fights...

Holy shit this is almost like football if it were played in a supermax prison!!!

I never realised how much genetics played a part in this game?!?

Ohhh!-What a feeling #1:- Executing a textbook shirtfront on an opposing player... O,W,a,F #2 Being the recipient of same said manoeuvre...😢 "BloodRed"

Neil Balme was like an octopus with elbows

Sad to hear that Rex is now in a mental institution

Is it weird to say that the opening made me want to watch the original Thunderbirds tv show?

Wonder how many of these guys can remember playing.

Games for pussies now

true football

Dude where's the end of the video???

4:05 Fight, fight, fight, fight!

How was that thug Leigh Matthews only reported 3 times?!

"these days the game is sanitized" this was 2001! Was actually still tough back then

I love some of the commentators' inability to see what's going on. At 18.52 - a player attempts to mark and gets solidly belted and goes down like the proverbial bag of shit - commentator says "He falls over - or was he held?"

Should be renamed ‘ cheap-shots, flat out assaults and cowards’ I’m not a complete pussy, but seriously, this is mostly dudes getting elbowed and punched in the face with their backs turned.. king hits make you a pussy in my books..

"Good evening folks, time to lock up the kids, put out the dog and sit back and relax at footy as it used to be." Cheers Rex.

I did coke with the announcer once behind a pub drunk at 2am. Nice guy

Bugger the ball and FUCK THE WHISTLE

11:46

There is nothing more gutless than hitting someone in the head when they are going for the ball.
