The club have issued a statement about an incident that occurred after the match.  Didn’t happen near us (and we stayed back for a Bevvie or 2).  ANy Demonlanders affected / know what happened?

    That looks pretty ordinary by the MFC supporter. From the audio it appears he's going a disables person.

    34-year old man interviewed, did he have a fake ID or something? Looks at least 48!

    pretty ordinary stuff 

    Very ordinary stuff. 

    Even worse the bloke was disabled and unable to defend himself. 

    What is wrong with these people?

    No excuse for this rubbish at the footy. One of the great things about our game is that going to a game is a family safe environment. Ban the bloke for life, we don’t want peanuts like that supporting our club

    Apparently the hawks fan has form with this sort of stuff, not condoning what the dees fan did but if you can’t handle your emotions and decide to knock beers out of people’s hands then stay at home and watch, I would ban both of them

    You know what...  like Gaff last year,  we don't know what the people are dealing with right now in their lives.

    I am happy for the people investigating this,  to find the truth of the situation.

    From the footage shared on the TV, no one has covered themselves in glory. Violence can never be condoned.  Whether it is to purposefully knock a guys beer all over him, or to retaliate with punches to the head.

    This is the sort of stuff that ruins the experience for everyone.

    The Hawks fan was lucky he wasn't wearing a Geelong jumper. If the offender was  in a cats jumper he would have got away with it....

    (On a serious note, no need to whack someone even if they are a Hawks supporter and probably deserved it)

    Who cares. Bad [censored] happens everyday, much worse than this. I don’t feel the need to be outraged by this whatsoever. Plus no one knows the full story, don’t just go by a few seconds worth of footage which doesn’t show what happened prior.

    Disgraceful attitude.

    Men in this country think punching is OK.

    If the Melbourne supporter couldn't deal with someone (whether disabled or not) knocking his beer out of his hand without resorting to violence, he's an embodiment of a cultural problem we have. 

    If your response is "who cares", you're not helping.

    I heard from a friend who attended the match that the Hawks supporters were very abusive when they thought they would beat us. Then they went quiet when we won.

    What this guy did was totally unacceptable but the AFL is largely to blame. I don’t take my young children to the football very often because in the last 10 years the behaviour of opposition fans has deteriorated immensely, largely because so many thugs seem intent on getting smashed on beer and insulting our supporters, rather than being true football fans.

    The AFL don’t care. They just want increased revenue.

    The first match I ever took my son to, 5 years ago a Bulldogs fan king hit an older Demons supporter right next to us at the end of the game. It was pretty awful stuff and I see trouble nearly every match I attend now. I think that crowd segregation will arrive sooner rather than later if the AFL does not prioritise the game rather than simply making big profits.

    The difference is that these drunken fools only have to pick a fight with the wrong person just the once and they will regret it for the rest of their lives. Either they will kill someone and go to prison for a long time or someone who really knows how to defend themself will retaliate and really hurt them

    If the Hawks fan did knock the beer out of the MFC fans hand then I agree they both should be banned. Punching someone for knocking a beer out of your hand is not on and should be charged with assault.

    The Hawks supporter is mentally disabled. Was on the news tonight. Bald bloke called him a [censored] [censored], [censored] [censored] etc in the lead up.

    No one should be condoning that sort of behavior or victim blaming the mentally disabled hawk supporter who was assaulted.

    Absolutely gutless from the bald bloke and hope he is dealt with harshly. This sort of thing has become far too common in our society. Lay down the law. Ashamed he’s a demon ?

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
