Read today that the AFL have banned the Carlton nob for two years for throwing a drink bottle at the umpires. That got me remembering back in the 70's how it was like when you were still allowed to drink beer from a bottle. (hate beer out of plastic cups)
I can't remember the year, but we were playing Essendon at home and Don McKenzie (the Essendon player not dogs player with the same name) deliberately fell on Barry Rounds leg, in the forward pocket Geelong road end. Barry broke his leg and the fans were furious as a shower of bottles came over the fence at McKenzie. There must have been at least 100 bottles chucked at him.
Times were sure different.
Any other stories out there with bottles, cans from the old days.
