The following remarks can be attributed to Adelaide Football Club CEO Tim Silvers:

“Our Club loves the passion and emotion our members and supporters bring to Adelaide Oval and the atmosphere they help create.

“We also strongly believe there is a line between passionate support and behaviour that falls short of our values and those of the game.

“We want our people to be vocal, engaged and passionate, but to do so respectfully.

“The overwhelming majority of our members and supporters represent the Club exceptionally well.

“However, the behaviour of some crossed the line last night. Put simply, it was inappropriate and not good enough.

“Respect for all players, coaches, officials and fellow supporters is paramount, and it is a standard we must all uphold.”
