Nothing in it.
That guy loves the Pies and deserves better. Anyone would think he tried to hurt the player.
Total BS

Looks like the game has finished and he's willingly high fiving supporters.
Completely different situation to reaching out over the fence to touch a player whilst there is a game going on.

Who are these people? What crowds are you mixing in Apex?

Yes. It's context based. It's not one size fits all.

Game on. Supporter touching player. Don't touch. It's too simple.

So, what if that fan were not a man with tattoos on his face? What if it was an attractive woman in her 20s.
Would the penalty be the same?

Yes if course it should be the same penalty.
Just like if a female runs onto the field, they cop the same fine.
The guy who copped a 12 month ban last year for reaching out and touching Pickett didn't have face tattoos.

I've told you a couple of times now. The ban should be 12 months. And that applies to everyone regardless of their sex, tattoos, occupation, team they barrack for or attractiveness.

But do you think that would have happened?
In reality.

What if a fan reaches over the fence and pats a player on the back?

I think there's a touch of never judge a book by its cover in this from the AFL but they will continue to similar things and I suppose we just have to accept it,unfortunately

What if it’s pats of encouragement from a fan?

its their workplace. How would you like some random unit coming into your classroom to give you a pat on the back?

If you're not allowed to touch the player whilst the game is on, then you're not allowed to touch the player whilst the game is on. I don't know how much simpler it could be.
This is obviously why the AFL needs big suspensions & hefty fines, because some supporters can't seem to comprehend simple rules.

One of the best characteristics of our game is that it’s generally safe - for fans to be, to take our kids, for players on the field to be protected from fans. We don’t have high fences, we don’t let off flares, we can’t invade the pitch.
The guy who has been suspended did not mean any harm to the player (although the fact that we were smashing WC may have helped his mood).
But the rule is there for the bigger picture. We can’t have physical interaction between players and fans during a game.
After a game, when the successful team goes to the fence and high fives fans is different - many players seek this out and love it. It’s also in their control.
When the WC player found himself on the fence during play - and had a Pies fan take the ball from him and ruffle his hair - was not something he sought. He should not have had to deal with that. It just shouldn’t happen.
