After last night they officially take the reign off collingwood as the most disgraceful and feral animals going around. And don't someone give me oh every club has them etc, they go to an extreme level.

The video footage of a freo supporter hitting a woman in the crowd is seriously low act of the highest order. I have been to games before where you get the odd melbourne supporter being a tool but the WA are two steps above.

Disgraceful

Agree, worst crowd behaviour I've ever seen.

I've been to Perth once. I have no desire ever to go back. Wall up the border and nuke the place.

We can get the Melbourne supporters out first tho

At least they got what they deserved from the home side

Its not the crowd but rather individuals. The guy hitting the woman was discraceful. The crowd did the right thing by quickly intervening.

I didn't see this post until I had already written my thoughts in the Finals thread; I will repeat them here:

You've just got to love the Freo supporters... particularly the guy in the number 10 Freo jersey who started abusing anybody and everybody and when approached by a woman who told him he was ruining it for the kids, punches her in the face. Seriously, there is a very good case for banning the sale of alchohol completely from these kinds of events. I hope the guy does jail time considering all of the publicity the violence against women campaign has been receiving lately... there is absolutely no excuse!

There were also a couple of unsavoury instances aimed at Hawthorn players... particularly bad was the guy getting into Breust after his nasty collision with the fence:

Also the guy who pretended he was about to take a swing at Smith as he saw the ball over the boundary. Some truly disgraceful things happened last night.

Not just that, the clowns all carrying on hanging over the fence aswell.

Got a collective screw loose that mob.

Don't leave me here!

They probably thought that the flag was already theirs. Must be soul destroying to watch their heroes be taken apart in such a ruthless fashion.

Im hoping for a miracle today, and a Norf win.

I can only hope for the team buses have a head-on, if Hawforn, and the perth druggies both make it through. Wont watch a second of they game if they do.

I don't understand what anyone would have against Perth. Its a quaint little town, and I quite enjoy banjo music.

They should that mongrel up good and proper. He should be forced to watch the replay of last night's game ten times as punishment.

Finey on SEN made a fair point last night. One of the problems is that security over there really just consists of supporters of the club and they're shite scared to take any meaningful action (when they're not simply watching the match).

Bunch of meth-smoking miners, aren't they? The guy that shaped to hit Smith looked as high as a kite.

Disgusting people. Disgusting behaviour.

To be honest, I'd be right behind banning alcohol from games. I never drink at games anyway, because I'm actually there to watch the football. The amount of people that go along just to drink in the bar, it's pointless. Just stay home.

Hope that scum wearing the number 10 is severely dealt with.

Pretty much summed it up in your first sentence AF.

Yeah, jail time is probably more appropriate you would think.

He's been charged with common assault, disorderly and obstruct.

The courts will come down hard with a $400 fine and/or a community based order.

Depends on the circumstances of the assault and whether the clown has a prior record.

Otherwise, every chance he will get a monetary fine and/or community service. Bond an outside chance but unlikely given the publicity this is going to get.

Even with a decent record I've never seen or heard of anyone getting jail time for those offences (in WA).

" "While we are always disappointed in any behaviour that upsets other fans or reduces the enjoyment of the game, it's important to remember that more than 41,000 people were at the game and nearly all of them were well behaved," Domain Stadium's general manager Gavin Taylor said in a statement. "

This guy has the spin talent to succeed McLachlan. "Nearly all of them were well behaved" = "not very many committed prosecutable offences."

Only 100 kicked out last night when the average is less than 10...

Even with a lengthy record I've never seen or heard of anyone getting jail time for those offences (in WA).

It's high time that changed.

Put the rodent behind bars for a few months and see if he does it again in a hurry.

Was there last night and the atmosphere for the vast majority of the 42k was very good, disagree with Dazzle because IMO every club has idiots. All 3 of the guys highlighted last night should be banned from sporting venues for life not just AFL venues. Apparently the clown in the Number 10 jumper was aggressive all night in and around the ground trying to start on a few people.

He should have been thrown out a lot earlier and a few of the men in and around the area he was should have acted a lot earlier, and not left it to the female ( who I know and is a former work colleague of mine). People like him get full of bravado when they are allowed to carry on without intervention.

I’ll post my response to this here as well:

I think there is an even better case for tracking people who abuse alcohol and take away their right to drink it. Why should thousands of responsible people be prohibited on account of a few who have no self-control?
