See the shocking moment a man and woman get into a physical clash at AFL match - even though they support the same team
Two Carlton fans have been recorded getting into a physical confrontation during their team's horror loss to Collingwood on Friday night, with footage showing the man and woman shoving each other before security was able to step in. The supporters lashed out at each other as their side's dismal season got even worse with a 115-59 defeat at the hands of the Magpies at the MCG. In the video, the woman lashes out at the man as she appears to be leaving the stadium behind a group of Collingwood fans who are being escorted out by security guards. The woman shoves her fellow Blues fan and a drink goes flying before he stands up and tries to shove her back as another man intervenes. Just as the situation appears to calm down while other bystanders try to break up the clash, the woman doubles back and appears to try to strike the man in the face. A security guard then positions himself between the two fans as they shout and gesticulate at one another. Pictured: Carlton fans let their players know what they think of their performance after their heavy defeat to Collingwood View this post on Instagram A post shared by @dandoesfooty Former AFL star turned popular footy social media influencer Daniel Gorringe posted the footage on Instagram and TikTok, and said it shows the team's horrible form is making Carlton fans 'eat each other alive'. That loss - which left the Blues 12th on the ladder - is their third defeat in a row, with the losing streak beginning with a shocking capitulation to North Melbourne in round 15. The Blues finished eighth last year after coming fifth in 2023, when they came within a whisker of beating Brisbane to make the grand final. Their fall from contention to be one of the league's most disappointing outfits has seen other fans lash out at coach Michael Voss and his squad, sometimes with headline-grabbing results. On June 27, a Carlton fan vandalised the club's headquarters at Melbourne's IKON Park in an incident that saw police called. The blunt message spray-painted on the building in large, black letters read: 'Sack the board, sack (Nick) Austin and (Brad) Lloyd. Keep (Michael) Voss. TDK (Tom de Koning) yes or no?' Austin is the club's list manager and Lloyd is the football manager, while de Koning is the young-gun ruckman whose future with the team is up in the air. After the loss to Collingwood, Magpies coach Craig McRae said he felt for his old Brisbane Lions teammate Voss. 'For all our excitement there's a level of, 'I hope my mate's OK',' McRae said. 'As much as we want to beat our arch-rival, that's done now and I just go into love and care and support for a guy that I've got enormous love and support for. 'So I hope he's going OK. It's a tough industry, we know. 'We sit in this chair - it's a hot seat - and when things don't work out we know what the job sometimes puts across your desk.'
