AFL Collingwood midfielder Brodie Holland has been fined $2500 without conviction for using his fist to settle a late-night dispute with a woman over a taxi.
Ms Hill defended herself using the same methods, according to police summary.
After some time Holland stepped into the fracas, grabbing Ms Hill from behind and declaring: "What the f--- are you doing, you stupid s**t?"
When Ms Hill shrugged off Holland's tackle, he put her in a headlock, but she then bit him on the stomach.
"The stupid s**t bit me," the footballer said and responded with a punch to Ms Hill's head which, according to one witness, left her with her eyes rolling back into her head.
Later today, Holland's Collingwood teammate Scott Burns said the Magpies would rally behind the midfielder, who also is suspended for the first six games of the 2007 season for an onfield incident in last year's final.
"Dutchy's one of the most loyal blokes at the club and one of the most trustworthy and honest guys, so we all rally behind him," Burns said.

No comment really - if this was the NRL can u imgine the reaction - the AFL needs to have a bit of a hard look at itself in regard to its attitide towards illegal and /or unlawful behaviour
