Being an AFL player doesn't automatically make you a gun fighter, but it also doesn't automatically mean you aren't one either.

My grandfather was an ex-military multi-weight state champion boxer, fought against some of the best Australian boxers of his generation, and he always said that the absolute best fighter he ever saw was Darrell Baldock. Reckoned he fought on pure instinct, no thought whatsoever, and would easily belt 2-3 blokes at a time down the pub when the mood struck.
 
You reckon? I think there's a lot of heroes out there who would try it on with an AFL player and they'd get a lesson of a lifetime. I've seen a few incidents in my time with AFL footballers and I've never seen one of them come off worse for wear.

Have you seen the video of Sydney Stack brawling in Northbridge from a few weeks ago? There's a world of ****ing difference between Plugga and smaller players.
 
From the Bomber Blitz Forum, by Mero, who I'm pretty sure is on here, too.
Edited slightly for brevity.

"Matt Primus first played for Fitzroy. Playing the Crows one time in Adelaide, the impressionable youngster was paired up with Simon Atkins in the hotel. Atkins was pleased to be catching up with his twin brother Paul, a former Sydney Swan who was then playing in the SANFL.

After being thrashed, the Fitzroy boys went out to drown their sorrows, with Martin Pike leading the charge, being a local boy with a reputation for knowing which pubs to go to in Adelaide for a good time.

At some point the Atkins brothers disappeared, and eventually the young, impressionable Primus made his way back to the hotel room, with chaperone Pikey. He opened his door to find one Atkins brother balls deep in the other one. Being identical twins made it nigh on impossible in the moment to determine which was actually up the other, but at that point our boy Matty wasn't fussed, his upbringing told him this was wrong on a number of levels.

The rumour also continues that Martin Pike, who had been with Primus immediately before, was still in the hallway and heard Primus' shriek of (let's call it) surprise. He called out to ask if everything was all right. Matty was speechless. In the words of Marsellus Wallce in the movie that came out a couple of years before, Pulp Fiction, "No man, I'm pretty farkin far from OK".

I can’t confirm whether that rumour is true or not but when all the heat was on (it must have been September), Paul was playing for Myrtleford in the Ovens & Murray.
I was present as a guest at the end of season awards night for the entire league and he actually won a media award. The prize was a Holiday for 2 people.
He took the stage for his speech (remembering this was the hot topic of the week) and the first thing he said was I’d just like to clarify a rumour. I won’t be taking my brother on this holiday.
The crowd loved it.
 
I'm stunned.... absolutely stunned. My jaw is on the floor.


Re. the whole Atkins diet brothers- could it have been a sort of "Eurotrip" kind of mistake? If you know what I mean..
Oh ok - they were just exchanging "bone broth" recipes
