Nick Daicos, Sam Walsh get stuck in as tempers flare in wild post-siren brawl
Tempers have flared on quarter time in the Thursday night grudge match between Collingwood and Carlton at the MCG.
As the siren sounded, Nick Daicos and Sam Walsh got stuck into it - Walsh was the instigator, slinging Daicos to the turf.
It triggered a bull rush as virtually every other player on the field ran to get involved.

The brouhaha lasted a good minute before level heads prevailed - in the form of 'Pies veteran Scott Pendlebury - and players retreated to their respective huddles.
Although it threatened to explode, it didn't look as if there was anything more than a jumper punch or two in it. To that point, the match had been an arm wrestle fought largely in the middle of the field.
Meanwhile, fans of both sides of the divide are raging over the terrible jumper clash between the two sides.
Despite having a white away or alternate kit, Carlton opted to wear their customary navy blue jumper.
They wore the white shorts - Collingwood wore black - but the two kits were difficult to distinguish at a glance when the players' backs are turned.
While Carlton rarely where the white top, Fremantle and Port Adelaide regularly wear theirs when playing away.
