Who's really to blame in this AFL security fiasco?
In what threatens to become a horror scandal for the AFL, the issue of fan behaviour and heavy-handed security reared its ugly head once more on the weekend.

AFL fans and finding something to complain about go together like a pie and sauce.
The last of the reduced rounds sees two grand final rematches from yesteryear, a Thursday night clash in the west and one of Melbourne’s favourite sons returning to the MCG to face his old side.
It’s a case of two down, one to go as the AFL’s bye rounds continue. Here’s my five talking points from this weekend’s action.
Hawthorn captain Ben Stratton has been at the centre of much controversy after his side’s loss to Essendon, but there is set to be more to come.
It’s hard to believe how little hype there is for a Friday night game between two great rivals that involves the likes of Joe Daniher, Chad Wingard, Devon Smith, Tom Mitchell and… oh.
We’re at the halfway point of the 2019 AFL season, which means there’s no better time to have a look at who’s taking home Charlie this season.
The bye rounds are upon us in the AFL, which means we’re – frighteningly – already halfway through year.
Of the final three matches of Round 13 Fremantle won the one game that really mattered, beating Port Adelaide by 21 points.
If you play sports at a schoolyard level, you referee your own games. Whether it’s footy, basketball, soccer – whatever – you’re going to get into arguments if you call fouls of any kind unless they literally stop the game with their egregiousness.
The year is 2030.

Scotty might have just played himself here!
That’s a bold strategy, Cotton.
There are three minutes left in the grand final. Collingwood have been hanging on for dear life for an hour now, but a ticking clock has tightened their grip on the premiership.
