The first peacetime Victorian Football League (VFL) grand final for six years was played between South Melbourne and Carlton and became the only final known by its nickname. Won by Carlton this match is remembered not for its great moments of play (of which there must have been some), but rather for the mayhem created. By its end the much-anticipated final had deteriorated into a violent farce.
