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 ?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
