9. Brendan Goddard Anzac Day 2018
Essendon player Brendan Goddard's on-field behaviour towards his teammates was brought into question following a series of blow ups during the Bombers' 49-point loss to Collingwood on Anzac Day 2018. Goddard was seen yelling at midfielder David Zaharakis during the third quarter and having words with forward Joe Daniher in the break.
His future in AFL was questioned at that point with many experts criticising his demonstrative behaviour.

Whilst the Carey / Stevens situation was ugly and involved the AFL’s highest profile player it occurred in the off-season and the 2 never played for the same team again so it was hardly a long running feud within the confines of the club. i’m surprised you never included the likes of Andrew McLeod / Tyson Edwards and Gary / Steven Hocking. Both combinations played 200+ games in the same team and rarely spoke to each other and had major personal disagreements with each other.
