A country football player and two spectators have been suspended for a combined total of almost two seasons after their involvement in a brawl during the Maryborough Castlemaine District Football Netball League (MCDFNL) grand final last month.
Video obtained by the Herald Sun showed two spectators exchanging punches near the fence as play continued between Harcourt and Carisbrook.

Carisbrook’s Harley Hunter, who was playing at the time, is then seen jumping the fence and throwing punches at a spectator.

He eventually returned to the field of play as other spectators tried to intervene.

In a tribunal hearing on Wednesday night, Hunter received a 10-match suspension, six of which must be served from the start of the 2023 season.

The other four matches have been suspended.

The tribunal also issued suspensions to two spectators who were involved in the fight.

One spectator has been banned from attending any AFL Victoria games for 12 months, while another copped a six-week ban.

Neither the MCDFNL nor AFL Victoria would confirm the identities of the spectators nor would they reveal what they had been charged with.

The Herald Sun understands Hunter was provoked to join the melee after seeing his brother and mother-in-law being targeted in the off-field violence.

It is also understood Hunter had been the target of sledging with spectators allegedly making disparaging remarks about his daughter Isla who is suffering from Batten’s Disease – a condition which can lead to an early death.

Hunter said he accepts the punishment from the tribunal and wanted to move on from the ordeal.

General Manager of the Ballarat Football Netball League, Shane Anwyl, who oversaw the tribunal hearing said the punishments sent a strong message to players and spectators.

“It was a very serious incident and one that the league doesn’t condone in any way,” he said.

“What’s important is the message to players about the expectations required of them on and off the field.”

“The behaviour in the crowd doesn’t meet any community expectations.”

A bit of movement from Navarre way from some close by:
Slorach has headed back to Geelong
Bibby will be playing in Mackay this year. Moving there shortly

Jess and Parry to coach with Driscoll to make it back for 10-12 games for the season and Moody playing enough to qualify likely.

No word on any recruits as yet.

But it's silly season what is there from around the way? Avoca probably in a little bit of hurt losing 5 back/to St Arnaud.

Navarre probably with a few new recruits inbound then? Always seem to have a good recruiting panel
 
Any other news regarding signings going around? Rovers looked to have made a few signings so hopefully a more competitive side on the park this year! Avoca looking to be struggling early. Need to recruit well. Dylan Stevens a big loss for Creek...

They did have a Senior win this year just gone which would be their most successful senior season for a while. Don't want to see any clubs fold

Yeah knocked off the Rovers who have been a rabble themselves for quite some time now. However I did hear they may have some recruits in the pipeline too.
