[QUOTE="The TRUTH, post: 88758"] The Fevola incident is one of the biggest stories in Australian sport right now, it's actually the only story from this years series that has got any kind of mention over here. The pitch invasion story hasn't even made it on to the telly , it's just some column writers trying to stir up some interest in a series which 95% of AFL fans could care less about by claiming that their players are at some kind of risk from OMG!! "terror attacks". After the foiled plot to supposedly kill the Australian and English cricket teams in england last year, the James Hird death threats last time the aussie team toured and the Irish uproar over the Chris Johnson incident last year... you can understand why Brendan Gale is concerned about the pitch invasions..... after all, it's his job to make sure the players best interests are seen to. All it takes is one bad egg to have a Monica Seles type incident..... and there is no other professional sport i can think of where fans are allowed to swamp the players like that. From an Irish point of view, i can understand why they see nothing wrong with this as it's part of the GAA tradition for the winning fans to rush the field and celebrate with there heroes... much like is was part of aussie rules tradition to do the same thing for well over 100 years before the changes in the late 90's. It's a tricky one... [/QUOTE]
