Disturbing crowd footage has surfaced last night during Fremantle’s loss to Hawthorn in their AFL preliminary final at Domain Stadium.
“We’ll sit down and have a chat over the course of the next 24 hours, address our playing group and any niggles or whatever, and work out the best way to prepare over the next eight days”, he said.
“That behaviour can not be tolerated in any form”.
“I am disappointed for our industry that I am talking about an issue as outrageous as what happened last night”.
“The AFL prides itself on our game being a safe place for all supporters, and in particular for women and families”, he said.
McLachlan apologised to fans saying he was upset that football supporters were being represented by the incident.
Jody, who has called for alcohol restrictions at AFL matches, was treated by St John paramedics for minor injuries. “All our energy went into this game”, Clarkson told reporters after the Hawks overcame a gallant Fremantle side.
Using the name “Sarah” for privacy reasons, she said she was enjoying the Fremantle-Hawthorne final with her family when the rowdy Fremantle supporter began swearing and challenging people to fight him.
“I said “Just take a seat, watch the rest of the game, you’re really scaring the kids”, and he said “I don’t give an F about your kids, I’ll smash them too” and that’s when he struck me in the throat”.
The incident came just a day after new Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull labelled violence against women as “un-Australian” during the launch of a $100 million domestic violence package. In another, Hawthorn midfielder Isaac Smith had a brush with a fan as he ran to retrieve a ball near the boundary fence.
Brownlow medallist Adam Goodes has been booed relentlessly in Perth this year and he took a break from the game after a game against West Coast. “There are no excuses”.
