AFL: Biffs, Bumps & Brawlers 1 (2001)

[@_Chris_D_3004]

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

[@Soprano_661]

Byron Pickett was the last of his kind

[@paulorocky]

And they were willing to play this footage even against the wishes of the league. Wouldn’t happen now lol

[@Havencheese]

"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.

[@alistairbanks6595]

Wonder how many of these guys can remember playing.

[@chrisferguson237]

Neil Balme was like an octopus with elbows

[@tmarsden1878]

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

[@tillmannwehausen7570]

Football is really fun to watch. :)

[@sunriseboy4837]

Only before 2000. This stuff now is just netball on crack cocaine.

[@austintaylor6152]

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

[@anml1969]

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

[@sunriseboy4837]

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?!

[@barelyamused966]

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

[@3072to4170]

Dermie

[@barelyamused966]

@@3072to4170 wow I have always had so much respect for him, I know that's a long time ago but it's awful! Are you aware if there was any bad blood between the two players at the time?

[@GarryCarr56]

Bet the dentist's were always busy

[@noofalata]

the girl's happy, how good is this?

[@Coltddy]

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

[@vCrimsoNHD]

Rex Hunt?

[@_Chris_D_3004]

Sure you did

[@Coltddy]

Footy rules the world!

[@noobsaibot2856]

Ah when AFL was AFL the best days

[@jimpikoulis6726]

Talk about a Heman fantastic effort by Leigh Matthews

4:05 Fight, fight, fight, fight!

[@humbleopinion1499]

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?"

[@ajdynon]

Ah, the Bobby "the Brain" Heenan (World Wrestling Federation) school of commentary.

[@StephenBormann-n7n]

Only cowards hit you from behind!!

[@aenohesa9997]

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

[@shaunchapman9578]

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..

[@jerrylehky3472]

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"

[@_Chris_D_3004]

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

[@vodeankandosii3982]

Because he knocked that rapist Barry Cable into next week.

[@sunriseboy4837]

He did what was necessary to get the ball over the line. The piss ant players these days wouldn't have lasted til quarter time, previous to 2000. It's a girls' game now!

[@pillwolak]

Sad to hear that Rex is now in a mental institution
