Well known rifts or blues between players of same club. Anyone know of others that I have missed?

Robert Flower - Jacko (MELBOURNE)
-----------------------------------------------
One of the most famous ones.
That was more a case of Jacko whacking Flower in a pracitise match and having every Melbourne player running in to get him. Barassi ordered him off the ground.

Geoff Raines versus Richardson (COLLINGWOOD)
-----------------------------------------------
Strangely that was over Coleen Hewitt. They strangely seemed to follow each other to Essendon and then Brisbane

Calthorpe versus Barry Young (ESSENDON)
-----------------------------------------------
Sheedy promised them that one of them would be gone at the end of the year. I think it was Calthorpe who found himself up at Brisbane.

Carey versus Archer (KANGAROOS)
-----------------------------------------------
Heard enough about that one.

BT versus Millane (COLLINGWOOD)
-----------------------------------------------
Typical nightclub incident that they covered up between them but BT admitted occured in his book that year.

West and Cox. Denied, of course.
Silvagni and Murphy

Disputes over females where the coach is involved ?

Christian and Matthews
Round and Quade
 
Murphy and Silvagni fell out badly, on one account over Jo Bailey, which is rubbish, and came to blows. Murphy was cleared to Geelong to appease Silvagni and came back when Silvagni retired.

Seems strange that Murphy was so upset with Milburn for laying out Silvagni if that is the case.

Elaborate on that one, will you Rick James. Ive heard so many people tell me about that one for there to be nothing there.

well it really is only at rumour status. But then again, most of what is being typed here is, so i WILL elaborate. But know that I do this off second hand information that is morethan likely false, yet still probably just as valid as most examples being given here.

The word is that Tarrant's dissapearance (injury) from the maggies last year was a lot mroe than a simple football injury, in fact the rumour goes that he was sort of internally suspended (or bashed) for sleeping with one of two women. Both women were tied to probably the two most important men at collingwood bar eddie.

Personally I don't really know (or care that much) either way, as I said these are rumours that I am merely regurgitating. Probably lies in all likelihood, but it makes you wonder how these things start.

As you said GFVideo, this is a common rumour, so it isn't like I'm just trying to troll, a LOT of people have told me this also.

Yeah i heard the same thing from a number of people including someone who has a source that always seems to get them right.

My first reaction is to dismiss it but when you hear it so many times from different people you wonder a bit.
 
Heard a bloke in a pub one night say that one of Barry Stonehams leg injuries was the result of an altercation with Bluey McGrath for, lets say "Careyesque" reasons, anyone else ever hear this on the Cat grapevine?
 
At a club in the city in 2003 Fevola and Hulme set up Angwin by sitting a $50 note under a glass on the bar and waited for him to pinch it. It took a couple of hours but he finally did it and they dragged outside and belted the crap out of him.

Bit harsh, I probably would've taken it as well.

Considering Bazza did his leg injury on field in front of thousands of people,you have to doubt that rumour.

Also they've worked together on K-ROCK in recent years.
 
There were some rumours of a rift between Scott Cummings and Gavin Wanganeen at Essendon. Obviously they both wound up at Port, some say Cummings was traded from the Power as Port wanted to keep Wanganeen happy. There was also a lot inuendo that while Cummings was out with a rib injury it was due to Wanganeen belting him with a baseball bat.

Of course the rumours were lady related, in this case Gavin's wife. Anyone else hear of this?

I just assumed Cummings was traded becasue he was fat and lazy and an average footballer.

Yeah you gotta laugh when someone thinks exactly what you were thinking.

Woman chooses Cummings over Wanganeen. That is real Kinky stuff.
