An Adelaide Crows fan has been banned from attending games at the Adelaide Oval for the rest of the season, after smacking the backside of Western Bulldogs captain Easton Wood.
The Crows supporter was seen on Channel Seven's coverage of the game leaning over the fence and making contact with Wood. The Bulldogs skipper had ran over the boundary line, trying to keep the ball in play. Contact was then made when Wood turned around to run back onto the field. It was the Adelaide Oval Stadium Management Authority who had imposed the sanction on the Crows supporter after an investigation was launched alongside the Adelaide Football Club. The Crows had not imposed the sanction on the supporter, as the man was not a club member and had borrowed a ticket from an acquaintance. The Football Club released a statement on their website regarding the incident. "The Adelaide Football Club along with the Stadium Management Authority have completed an investigation into a crowd behaviour incident at Adelaide Oval on Friday night," the statement read. "The investigation has identified the fan, who is not a Club member and had borrowed the ticket from an acquaintance. "The SMA has banned the person involved for attending AFL games at Adelaide Oval for the rest of the season. "The Crows member who lent their ticket is extremely remorseful the incident occurred and has received a warning from the Club". The AFL is satisfied with the outcome of the investigation and were informed throughout the process.
