Sure… you reckon he went flying 2-3 meters in the air?

Old mates been watching too many action movies, me thinks.

Maybe not that far. But the rest of the story I can believe.

Pretty sure the bikie had been trained by Bruce Lee

So out of a thoroughly entertaining, highly credible story, you chose one minor example of hyperbole, of poetic license, to pick apart? You must be fun at parties.

 

[GhostofJimJess]

I’ll take things that didn’t happen for $800, thanks.

Alright, "knocked him backwards" 2-3 metres.

Can't believe that was your takeaway from the event.

The only thing remotely unbelievable about the story was the bikies not knocking him out sooner

Beer gardens at apollo bay in the 80s were called open air mull smoking only.
In the 90s they called them speed gardens.
Today they are called sniffers only gardens.
Saw a lot of shenanigans in the Bay, especially with "known" people.
Can't say I've heard this story.

I'm taking that as meaning going backwards, not as lifted off his feet 2-3 metres

Great story!

Not a rumour, but I was reminded by a friend on the weekend of an incident we witnessed in the beer garden of the Apollo Bay pub back in the late 80's on a very busy January arvo.

I was sitting at an outside table with a bunch of mates, and on the table next to us was a group of about half a dozen Hell's Angels bikies, enjoying a few jugs and a counter lunch each. Totally minding their own business, not bothering any other punters.

Sitting on another table near them with a bunch of his hangers-on mates was ex-Fitzroy (and Sydney and Collingwood) player Richard Osbourne, in a white singlet to show off every muscle on his sizeable torso and guns. Really vocal, very very pissed, and plenty of "look at moy" behaviours.

Pretty soon Osbourne started flicking peas from his counter lunch at the table of Hell's Angels blokes, making contact a couple of times, before the smallest of the gang (still about 6ft tall but dwarved in body shape compared to the ex-VFL player - probably just a Prospect tbh) did the honours and walked over behind Osbourne and got him in a headlock. They wrestled to the ground, and broke even in holds and little punches for about 5 minutes, before a couple of security blokes broke it up and sent Osbourne and his mates out of the beer garden. To the rousing cheers of all in attendance, who admired that the HA blokes had put up with way too much for way too long.

Pride damaged, Osbourne refused to make the smart decision and cut his losses, instead preferring to heckle the HA's from the footpath. After a few minutes of this, one of the larger bikies got up from his table and walked over to where Osbourne was mouthing off, suggesting in no uncertain terms that it would be best if he would "**** off right now".

Osbourne didn't take the hint, and gobbed off even more, clearly just big noting himself in front of the packed beer garden. Eventually the HA bloke lost patience and launched one of the biggest haymakers you'd ever see, sending Osbourne flying 2-3 metres airborne and onto the road outside the pub. One side of his face closing up, one of Osbourne's mates finally dragged him away into a waiting car and they took off.

There were about 4 or 5 jugs delivered to the table of the Hell's Angels blokes straight away, including one from me and my mates. They showed incredible tolerance for way longer than you'd expect.

People pulling this bloke up on the 2-3m bit and ignoring the "5 minutes" bit are making the same mistake.

People who've never been in a fight, and who have only ever watched boxing/UFC/whatever, always grossly overestimate how long fights go for.

5 minutes for a pub fight is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I don't think I've ever seen a 1-on-1 fight last longer than about a minute. Most of them wouldn't go 30 seconds.

It was along the lines that the ladies day incident is why he’s not coaching at the Bullants anymore and took a job at a EDFL club.

Also has some form with enjoying himself in public

Fmd mate, it was 30+ years ago - it might've been 4 minutes.

No wonder nobody puts their stuff in here anymore.

Another pedant who must be fun at parties. You and old mate Strapping Young Lad are the types at a party that everyone else avoids 30 seconds after introduction for completely missing the point of every basic social interaction.

The correct way to start a sentence with a number is to spell it out.

We're talking 500% longer than any real pub fight I've ever seen.

There's putting a bit of mayo on it, which we'll all accept and chuckle along with, but then there's total bullshit that renders the whole story a fantasy.

You love mayo, I don’t.
