Carlton’s clash against Geelong on Saturday, September 14 and North Melbourne’s clash against Port Adelaide on Friday, September 20 are two AFLW games that could have potential match-up issues.
Last week, a spectator who threw a water bottle that hit an umpire during Carlton’s loss to St Kilda was banned for life, but Dillon refused to say fans had been warned.
“It’s just some people who don’t behave well and we deal with them,” he said.
The AFL also announced on Monday that for the first time the winning captain of a grand final will receive the Ron Barassi Medal. AFL legend Barassi has been part of 10 VFL/AFL Premiership teams – six as a player and two as a coach.
The Ron Barassi Medal will be presented by Geelong’s 1963 Premiership Captain Fred Wooller, the oldest living Premiership Captain. Former Geelong star Steve Johnson will present the Norm Smith Medal to the player rated best on the field in the grand final.
Three-time champion Cat won the medal in Geelong’s 2007 grand final win.
Retired West Coast champion Josh Kennedy, who won the flag in 2018, is the ambassador for the Cup Championship.
