Im not sure how relevant the soccer is here when comparing to this scenes. It's well known that soccer echo's political allegiances and a lot of money and threats change hands in those environments. The ultras are guns for hire.
Those escalations are usually organised mob hits not fans having a punch on over a red card.
Thats the cover story.
Regarding our snowflakes, they put in third quarters like what we saw against essendon some unhinged fans will go ballistic. That's the good with the bad. If you don't like it, play for a club with no fans.

I was referring to violence, abuse and intimidation directed towards players and officials, as opposed to issues between supporter groups.

Abuse of players at the ground by supporters is just not on. Unacceptable. I know it's a loud minority but they should pull their heads in. Players shouldn't have to put up with this and be subjected to such abuse. I bet no-one is hurting more than the players, coaches, staff and so on.

Anyone who uses the word 'youse' lacks any credibility and should not be listened to.

Don’t buy a ticket if you don’t want to lose because every match is 50/50
Maybe for you - but people in general dedicate their lives to the "club" they wish to belong. Players get paid enough - if they continue to put in disheartening efforts then members should demand a refund.

You're quite right. That's bugs me too. As does the phrase "how are we?"
But I digress. Thanks for the laugh!

But from a statistical point of view, Hoyne isn’t convinced Essendon is a finals-bound team in 2023.
Scott’s men are coming off a 34-point win over Carlton, but Hoyne has a number of fears from that performance on the Bombers’ style.
“It’s a great story, 8-5, they’re probably every chance to play finals now.. but the reality is, the way they’re playing at the moment, history will say it’s far from a sustainable brand of footy on the weekend,” he began.
“Based on accuracy, they should have lost that game by a goal, 85-79, if Carlton had kicked to expectation. Essendon giving up 85 points to a team that hasn’t been able to score for multiple weeks now is a concern.
“Carlton haven’t been able to move the footy for the last seven or eight weeks of the season, the third-worst ball movement team in the competition in terms of going one end of the ground to the other.
“They went from defensive 50 to inside 50 39 per cent of the time (against Essendon). That’s Carlton's best ball movement game of the season.
“28 shots to 23 shots for Carlton on the weekend, they win contested possession by 17, Essendon only picked off Carlton in that midfield zone of the ground 29 times, compare that to Melbourne’s 50 against Collingwood on the weekend.”
He added: “We talk about defensive profiles being the ones that hold up, only West Coats has conceded more inside 50s than what Essendon has this year and no team has won the ball back less in their forward half of the ground than what Essendon has this year.”
