Funny how these things tend to pop up when the AFL is under a huge amount of scrutiny over the quality of the product itself.
The article posted on the previous page tells me this is a genuine attempt at distraction and a patsy fan was selected for sacrifice with Gill being the arrogant twat that he is believing the fan wouldn't fight back.
You know me Jeemak, at least 9 years anyway (on the forum), I have been saying don't touch the rules AFL you are ruining our game. It is all coming to a head, the game is crap these days.
Not one rule change, has enhanced the game since 1996 when it started with changing interpretation of prior poss. I am not counting any rule that protects a players head. (which were always there anyhow).
example, last night, everytime there was a genuine contest between two big guys, the whistle was blown. There were 4 free kicks to Carlton, and three to us, for a slight holding of the jumper. Yet, players can drop the ball, dispose of it incorrectly - the basics like that are ignored with just play on.

Gotta love that, Libba's version of "stick it up 'em". What would the sook do if Stratton gave him the bird ?

And I was just rubbing it out when I looked up and bugger me if I wasnt standing next to all theses Carlton supporters. So anyway I was just stopped to say giddaye to them and somebody took my photo at what must have been exactly the wrong time. Geez, it almost looks like I was taunting them or something, doesn't it?

Did Gill actually apologise for his henchmen walking up and down the aisles looking to throw people out?

It's been reported it was a Marvel Stadium decision to increase the aisle presence of security. They're going to wind it back, and consider reverting back to using police.
Jeff Kennett reckons the security personnel were "new arrivals" who don't understand the game:

Get your brooms, it's shenanigans!

No no no no no...….the AFL assures us it was an independent decision, and if you can't trust the AFL, who can you trust?
Re: Should fans be ejected for calling umpires names?
I don't mind what the AFL are trying to do to be honest. The amount of times I've been to the footy and some idiots are using the crowd to mask some idiot behavior I can't remember. It's the way they go about it that seems so out of touch.
With terrorism now I don't think extra security is a bad thing at the football. But 'behavior awareness officer' is so counter culture it beggars belief.
Re: Should fans be ejected for calling umpires names?
For every person offended by the additional security there would be double that appreciating it. A work colleague took his mother to the footy Saturday night and had to move seats to get away from fans being dickheads
Extra security is Okay in my opinion, they just need a little training so that they go unnoticed
