'It was just chaos'
Entertainer Jane Clifton was at the function and said guests had just eaten an entree of rabbit terrine when "people started fainting" during a speech by one of the original Rats of Tobruk.
"He was giving this beautiful speech and we were all focused on it then this medical emergency is happening," she told the ABC.
"There are ambulance people coming over to people going 'do you know where you are, what's your name' as the speeches are going on.
"Stretchers were coming, almost a sort of triage unit was happening and it was just chaos"

No mention of bouts of diarrhoea, I guess they left that to the players.

Everyone said it was a great game but I saw the highlights and it was a real scrubber of a match.The commentators shot their load because Daniher kicked a 55m goal on a slight angle.The crowd were pissed off due to poor umpiring and boring keeping off game plans.With such a big crowd the clubs should have played a more open game style,it was an insult to hard working people who pay good money for entertainment.

has there been an inquiry as to why the Melbourne FC catered the event? Rabbit terrine is more their board o fare, much like a fine cheese platter.

It's good to see other teams getting screwed like we have been, the Bulldogs being the obvious exception.
And Collingwood? They are getting a free ride as well and at least they are making the most of it. Imagine if we weren't getting the free ride! I'm on the Saints bandwagon this year
