Dean Brogan in Altercation at Airport

Off course not, he spent all his money on outfitting his whole family in Crows gear. He had no money left to buy a ticket to the games, haha.

As for people saying that you can't go around punching someone everytime they insult you, I would like to know how many other times Dean has been in this situation where he found it necessary to punch someone. My guess is that Dale copped it this time for all the times that high profile people have had to put up with this sort of insult. I don't know what frame of mind Dean was in on this particular day, but my guess is that he just got sick and tired of this sort of behaviour and found it difficult to let it one more time. If its true that Dale frequents the airport, it could be that his behaviour was well known to Dean and the rest of the Port team. Dean may have chosen to accept the consequences of his action to atleast make an example of the behaviour that will not be tolerated. If it didn't happen, this idiot may have continued to behave in this without any consequence for his behaviour. Once again, I don't condone violence but I have a good feeling that this Dale character will think twice from now on before calling someone a dickhead. My sympathy goes to Dean who now has to face charges over his actions even though his actions had purpose.

Someone said to me today that the Crows should be looking this guy up to see if he is a season ticket holder and if so, cancel his membership. Surely they would be embarrased by such a "fan".

I wouldn't even say that Dale deserves to be paid medical bills. He threw himself in the lions den, he needs to accept the consequences. I would not expect to walk down the street calling people dickheads and not get punched. Don't forget who the instigator is here. That's not saying that Dean is justified in what he did, but you know that if you put yourself in a dangerous situation, there's a good chance you will get hurt.

The supporter should not have said anything but these elite sports people think they are pretty precious.

With clowns like cornes and KG setting these sports people up as so called gods what else do we expect. Brogan forgets that they are supposed to be setting an example for our young people. Dean Laidley did it last week. It is about time they realised that this goes with the territory and is unfortunately par for the course.

We should just explain to our kids that both acts were wrong and that this re-inforces that 2 wrongful acts do not make it right.

Both need to grow up and show some respect

Brogan shouldnt have punched him no matter what this 'Dale' had said. Brogan will find himself been made an example of by his club, the afl and most of all the media.

Pizzagate v2. Bogut is surely onto it.
