A screen shot taken from the vision of the fight on Thursday night at the MCG
DISTURBING vision has emerged of a fight between fans at Thursday night's season opener at the MCG.
Just second after the final siren in Richmond's 33-point win over Carlton, a male wearing a Tigers jumper appears to throw a punch at another fan in the Great Southern Stand before a scuffle ensues.
