Chris Scott and Matthew Nicks are both concerned about what could have happened to their players had a pitch invasion at Adelaide Oval ended differently on Friday night.
Deep into the third quarter, with the Crows in possession and clearing the ball out of defence, a fan ran onto Adelaide Oval and into Geelong’s congested forward line, filming his every move on his mobile phone.Scott slammed the pitch invader’s dangerous behaviour, citing the WACA Test of the 1982-83 Ashes when Alderman dislocated his right shoulder after his attempt to tackle an English fan went horribly wrong. The injury resulted in Alderman missing a year of cricket.
“Was it Keaysy who brought him down ... what if? Maybe the fines aren’t big enough. It’s really dangerous too. Matt Crouch grabbed the intruder by the sleeve, but he wriggled free and had too much pace for slow-moving security.in a one-day international against India at the Gabba – collared the field rusher, who was duly swarmed upon by an army of redcoats and marched out of the stadium.“Pitch invaders ... I don’t understand it. It’s a little concerning.
“It’s disappointing to see someone, in this day and age, still runs out on the footy field. I don’t get it.”
