A pitch invader who disrupted play during a game between the Adelaide Crows and Geelong Cats has been handed a lifetime ban by the AFL.
The AFL has sent a warning to spectators after handing a lifetime ban to a man who ran onto Adelaide Oval during the round two match between the Crows and Cats. Pictures from the ground showed the man holding his phone in one hand while he tussled with players and security, before being hauled off the field.
"Running onto the ground during a match is not only senseless, but it is unsafe and unlawful," AFL General Counsel Stephen Meade said in a statement. The pitch invader who disrupted the round two clash between Adelaide and Geelong has been given a lifetime ban from all AFL and AFLW matches."If you choose to do it, then you will not only be given a significant fine, but you will have to deal with local authorities and ultimately lose the privilege of attending AFL matches.
