Statement attributed to AFLPA CEO, Paul Marsh:

“Every person who attends an AFL match, including the players, staff, and fans, deserve to do so knowing there are effective measures in place to protect their health and safety.

“What occurred at the MCG last night is extremely concerning and frankly unacceptable.

“We have been in discussions with the AFL this morning and have an understanding of what transpired. Pleasingly and appropriately, they have committed to additional security measures for the rest of this weekend as well as a comprehensive review of security measures.

“We will continue to discuss the outcomes of this review with the AFL.”
