The Melbourne Football Club is aware of an incident that occurred following the Melbourne vs Hawthorn match on Saturday afternoon at the MCG.

The Club is appalled by this behaviour and vehemently condemns violence of any kind.

It is important to our Club and the AFL community that all patrons feel safe. Violence has no place in the community let alone at a sporting event.

The Club is working with all relevant parties involved to gather further information, and to determine the appropriate action required.

As the matter is currently being investigated by Victoria Police, the Club isn’t in a position to make any further comment.
