On October 23, a scuffle broke out at the Melbourne Cricket Ground during a National Football League game between the Sydney Swans and the Collingwood Magpies when Chris Cox, a player for the Swans, bumped into Connor McKee, an up-and-coming star from the Collingwood team. The incident escalated quickly as players and coaches became involved, leading to officials having to intervene to restore order on the field. While no official penalties were announced immediately after the game, both teams acknowledged the unfortunate event which overshadowed what was otherwise a closely contested match with Collingwood ultimately winning by a score of 18 points.
