The Modbury v Smithfield game was a tough physical game, but played, in the most part, in the best of spirits. As a player, it was a good old fashioned hit out by two relatively evenly matched opponents. Unfortunately an on field incident occurred that has no place in footy. The Modbury players had it made quite clear by the coach at half time that that sort of thing will not be tolerated. As for the player involved, he was lead by the Modbury coach at the end of the game to apologise to the player concerned. The most disappointing event occurred after the siren, between Modbury spectators and Smithfield players. Support your team and club but what I witnessed from certain Modbury supporters was disgraceful. My wife and son left at half time and I can say I'm glad they did as they were disgusted by the behaviour and language of certain individual supporters. Modbury needs to reassess the clubs position regarding inappropriate behaviour and language, to ensure families can enjoy watching local footy without being subjected to that sort of behaviour. If I was the visiting team today, I'd say the lack of action by Modbury club officials could almost be mistaken as condoning such behaviour! It detracted greatly from what was a gusty win by the players you are supposedly supporting!
