Age article about Ty Zantuck (Heidelberg) going head to head with Jake King's brother Jarrod (North Heidelberg) in the Northern FL. Justin Murphy and Rhys Monteath, son of Bruce, also play for Heidelberg.
Also Aaron James playing for Kyabram has been reported twice for striking. First time was for striking a opponent which got him sent off. He was then reported again for striking a spectator who had been mouthing off at him from over the fence. It looks like he'll be deregistered as a result.--------------------------------------
Venues change but warriors don't

FORMER AFL defender Ty Zantuck was suspended for four games after his final game for Kangaroo Flat last year.
Having switched to Heidelberg over summer, he chose an interesting place to make his debut for the Northern Football League club at the weekend when he lined up at the home of arch-enemy, North Heidelberg.
The easiest way to describe North Heidelberg is to say that Jake King comes from there. Bulldogs players are lippy. One of the worst at making an irritant of himself is Jake's brother Jarrod, who plays at half-back.
On Saturday, Jarrod King was among the North Heidelberg defenders who lined up to offer advice to Zantuck when the burly 26-year-old took his place in the Heidelberg goal square. Zantuck kept himself nice while kicking goals with his first two kicks. But after moving on to the ball in the second quarter, he let down his guard during a dust-up in the North goal square.
His transgression, though apparently minor, led to a free kick to North Heidelberg's Shane Harvey, brother of North Melbourne champ Brent. Harvey kicked a goal, putting the Bulldogs ahead of the premier.
Zantuck went on to have the last laugh by kicking five goals in the Tigers' five-goal win. Harvey kicked four for North Heidelberg.
Zantuck and Harvey were not the only players with AFL connections in the game. Justin Murphy and Anthony Franchina were among Heidelberg's best, while Dale and Danny Nolan, the sons of North Melbourne's "Galloping Gasometer", Mick Nolan, played top games in the Tigers' forward line.
It might not surprise Richmond followers to learn that Rhys Monteath started on the Heidelberg bench before coming on at half-forward and kicking a goal. Monteath is the son of Bruce Monteath, who started on the bench in the 1980 grand final and later that day hoisted the cup as the Tigers' premiership captain.
Still in the Northern league, former Carlton captain Lance Whitnall continued his slashing form for Lalor, kicking eight goals in the Bloods' win over Greensborough. The ball was like a cake of soap, but Whitnall regularly bustled aside three opponents to take one-grab marks.
Former AFL player Aaron James was also reported twice while playing for Kyabram and District league club Stanhope against Undera.
In the second quarter, James and his opponent Matt McMurtie had their numbers taken for striking each other, and were sent off. James was then reported for striking a spectator who had been mouthing off at him from over the fence.
James, 31, ended the match with four goals, bringing his tally to 61 from six games, as Stanhope maintained its unbeaten record. But his career is in jeopardy.
In 2006, when he was at Sunbury Kangaroos, James was suspended for 16 games for acting in a threatening manner towards an umpire. If suspended again, he will be deregistered in keeping with a rule that is enforced after players are suspended for more than 16 games.
