The top five dummy spits

Who’s prone to letting loose?

On the back of Hawthorn hot-head's James Sicily's performance on the weekend, Zero Hanger counts down the top five dummy spits!

Matthew Richardson

When former Richmond star-forward Matthew Richardson was streaming to the goals in 2017's EJ Whitten Legends match, many presumed former AFLW Crows forward Abbey Holmes would loop a handball to the 800-goal superstar. They presumed wrong, and Richo let loose, although it was all in a bit of light-hearted fun.

Brian Taylor

Featuring at number four is none other then the Collingwood and Richmond superstar turned commentator, Brian 'Bristle' Taylor. In a clash against his old side, Richmond, the Coleman Medalist gave away a free kick in his forward 50. Taylor went on to raise his fist at the adjudicating umpire as well as express himself quite aggressively.

John Bourke

We're scared to put him at just number three after watching this clip, but Collingwood reserves player John Bourke absolutely spat the dummy in the reserves game against South Melbourne in the early 1980s. Bourke started his rampage off by shoving an umpire to the ground after being reported for a hit against a South Melbourne defender, he then continued to whack his own team runner before finally jumping the fence and flooring a patron.

Robbie Muir

In 1984 in a clash between the Saints and Carlton, 68-gamer Robbie 'Mad Dog' Muir went absolutely berserk when being reported for rough conduct against a Carton player at Princess Park. Muir received 12 weeks for his antics, with 1984 being his final year in the VFL. What a performance.

Fraser Gehrig

For top spot, it's none other than 'The G-Train'. Fraser Gehrig was always remembered for his dominant display of the forward-line, but not in round five, 2006. Gehrig gave away several free kicks including two that gifted the Dockers two goals. The big man certainly didn't hold back here.
