Well known rifts or blues between players of same club.

[1980GFVideo]

My understanding was that Rys and Williams never said a word to each other while playing for Carlton and Rys was even consulted about Williams coming to Carlton, In which he replied..........

"Plenty of other teammates to talk to".

Side note:

Rys actually could have gone another year as Parkin wanted him to continue but told the club his body wasnt up to it instead of pinching another years salary from them. credit where credit is due.

Milham Hanna apparently knocked Parkin out. He admitted on Snoozing Football.

Jacko has been described as the only guy to have played AFL and not made a friend out of the game.

Did they spend any time together at the Swans?

I think Williams' first season in Sydney might have been Rhys' first at Carlton.

You are right as I am sure that 1986 was Williams's 1st year at the Swans and also R-J's 1st year at Carlton.

Williams came to Carlton in 1992 which was near the end of R-J's career at the Blues and I trying to determine how many games they actually played together on the field. Not that many I think as R-J's last couple of years at Carlton was heavily punctuated with injury and poor form.

Does anyone know what year R-J actually retired??

Rhys-Jones: South/Sydney 1980-84 Carlton 1985-92

Williams: Geelong 1984-85 Swans 1986-91 Carlton 1992-97

So Rhys and Williams only played at Carlton together in 1992, most of which Rhys spent injured.

 

[Skeptic]

Nick Riewoldt and Heath Black... Black sent Nick's head repeatedly into the ground until several team mates separated the 2...

I remember hearing that Stan Alves sent Joey Mclaren down a flight of steps at subi after a win... never head why

Demonstone thanks for the clarification about when Rhys Jones's career ended at Carlton and confirmed what I thought that he didn't play a lot of games with Williams at the Blues.


One that didn't get a mention was the clash between Ron Barassi and Sam Kekovich back in the Roos flag year of '77. While I don't think there was any animosity between them, Keka put RDB on his "lemon" during a training drill in front of the rest of the players.

there was a time when a premiership coach started porking the wife of one of his star players.
that didnt go down too well.

We need names, Snappytom !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[crackers57]

lol. Yeah would have been fighting for the mirror. Guy who tried out at Collingwood at the time remembers them going for it over that singer Coleen Hewitt at training. Do you remember her? i thought those guys could do better than that.

Hey! Colleen Hewitt was a pretty tidy unit in those days

 

[crackers57]

He started a rumour Acker had ginger pubs

Ginger pubs ??? Is that where you buy ginger beer

 

[Captain Blood]

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.

Jo only slept with Murphy to get back at SOS who was sleeping with someone else.

 

[tdubfleet]

Jo only slept with Murphy to get back at SOS who was sleeping with someone else.

Also heard there was some history when SOS went berzerk at Ray Jenke (from memory) at Princes Park one game.

Anyone?

This is getting tacky...

heres some from way back:



mcguane v bucks the who should stay saga

shaw v malthouse hey i planted the seeds of youth and now your taking all the credit for what i created

betherus v malthouse hey i know iam wasnt an weagle but give me a run will ya

money mal v mcguire give me more money will ya

there just some of rifts

 

[Vic Eagles Member]

What Jess said, although I've heard a slightly different version that suggested Kerr just went the one night stand with Cousins' sister and then threw her over.

Cousins ended up with a broken arm from falling down the stairs, Kerr had a blackeye (and I think) possibly a broken nose from Cuz giving him a belt on the smoosh.

There doesn't seem to be any bad blood now- I think I remember seeing some footage where they were both at a press conference (at the Burswood sports bar??), and someone asked a question about it, and they both had a laugh about it and Kerr said that he thought he'd won the fight, with Cousins interjecting that was only because he'd been unco enough to fall down the stairs.

It sounds mindlessly macho and silly I guess, but I actually think its a lot better for the players in question to get drunk and have a punch on rather than letting it fester- often, once they've both taken a swing at each other a lot of the tension goes out of the situation.

Yeah, they got it over with on Mad Monday 2002 and all is good now between the two I've heard.

There was also a bit of post GF sledging of Molly Molloy by Mal Michael, his replacement at Brisbane that received a fair amount of publicity.

 

[MickZu]

Yeah I heard this same rumour. Told to me by a woman in the members bar at football park the year after Scotty left. Not exactly a reliable source. She said that Gav walked in on them together, but that seems a bit far-fetched.

Cummings may have been chubby but he was a funny guy which lots of women find attractive.

It is quite amusing reading some posts on how women could choose
Cummings over Gav. It's actually a biological fact that women prefer
bigger men (even chubby ones like Cummings) over skinny runts (like Gav).

 

[dipper86]

M. Mcguane v N Buckley

M Pike v G Lyon.

 

[Blue Boyz]

From memory there was also a bit of off field friction between Jezza and Robert Walls and when Jezza took over as Carlton's coach from the "very sick" Ian Stewart early season '78, Walls was soon on his way to Fitzroy.

Maybe some old Blues' fans can confirm or deny this.

 

[MarkT]

There was a bit of friction between Jezza and the club a couple of years later as well when he left after backing Harris and then again when Elliot sacked him.

Ever hear Rene Kink speak about Kevin Sheedy? Certainly no love lost there and no attempt on Rene's part to sugar coat it either.

 

[CyberKev]

Also heard there was some history when SOS went berzerk at Ray Jenke (from memory) at Princes Park one game.
Anyone?

Unlikely.

During the game, SOS hit the deck during a willing contest and stayed there for a prolonged period in the hands of the trainers, and just when it looked as if a stretcher may be required, he leapt to his feet and charged over to a decidedly bemused looking Jencke screaming and making threatening gestures.

It looked like little more than SOS blaming Jencke (rightly or wrongly) for his unplanned rendezvous with the turf.

 

[mocaholic]

M Pike v G Lyon.

Hahahahahahahaha.

Is this fair dinkum? I haven't heard of this one before, and whilst I could imagine why (possibly a dedication issue) surely the winner would be the four-time premiership player?

Hahahahahahahaha.......hahaha.....<picks up head from the floor and stitches sides back together>......

 

[Cyclops]

Not a rift, but: Banksie and his best mates (including Millane) would settle even minor arguments with their fists. They were best friends, but they'd show up at training with black eyes, split lips etc. because of a disagreement on the way. They were tough kiddies those boys.

I always understood Matthews was dating Christians ex-missus. Its still bad but not the same as knocking off their wife. It really shook the club up badly that one.

I've heard that many ones from the Saint, most are just lies. The Winmar one has surfaced again and again, with different team-mates wives giving birth to unexpectedly black babies. I dunno, how come its a different team-mate in each rumour?

Its like all the Malthouse/Buckley/Tarrant rumours. Just take those three names, add one or more situations (cancer/blow job/fist fight/three way forced leather fem-dom reach around with four on the floor but no anal/whatever) and voila, you have an instant bigfooty post, as well as no life.

It is quite amusing reading some posts on how women could choose Cummings over Gav. It's actually a biological fact that women prefer
bigger men (even chubby ones like Cummings) over skinny runts (like Gav).

...so I (185 cms, 120 kgs) should have no trouble cutting Leonardo di Caprio's lunch then?

I was SURE that that one was true.....

...so I (185 cms, 120 kgs) should have no trouble cutting Leonardo di Caprio's lunch then?

I see you and raise:
- 5kg;
- Less 5cms; and
- Add on some back and shoulder hair.
