Wild vision emerges from inside the MCG as ‘Pies fans turn on each other’

Footage has emerged of wild crowd fighting during Collingwood’s wildcard clash with the Western Bulldogs on Friday night.

Multiple fans have shared vision of the incidents from inside the MCG which occurred during the tense game, on level 1, near the fence.

Football podcaster DanDoesFooty posted vision of one incident, captioning it, “Pies fans turning on each other”.

In one of the clips, a man can be seen throwing punches and shoving a woman while, just metres away, another fight breaks out near the fence.

Police and security quickly rushed to the violent spotfires in a bid to diffuse the situation.

Razed footy said: “WOW!! Things got absolutely HEATED among Pies fans after Collingwood were eliminated by just THREE points in the first-ever Wildcard Final... 😬.”

Another fan account said: “Wow, Pies fans having a full blown punch on was not on my bingo cards tonight 😧.”

Police revealed four men were evicted from the MCG and issued penalty notices for riotous behaviour.

It had been a rough old night for for Collingwood fans, losing the inaugural wildcard game with kick after the siren.

Trailing by four points, forward Tim Membrey had a chance to win the game after taking a mark just seconds before the final siren.

However, his set shot sailed agonisingly to the right side of the goals and the Western Bulldogs hung on for a tense three-point victory, 14.12 (96) to 14.9 (93) in front of 81,036 fans.

The Dogs advance to an elimination final next week, while the Magpies’ finals season is over.

It was much-loved veteran Steele Sidebottom’s last game for Collingwood, and it later emerged that Scott Pendlebury would also depart the club and head to Gold Coast for the 2027 season.
