There was plenty of banter going on between cheersquads and other members of the crowd through the whole day but the only heated argument was between us and weslo around half time as we were being threatened with eviction because we were continuing on with the banter.
I was questioning them as to why there was a problem with this when I've seen many worse things happen without punishment. They had no answer to this besides continually threatening anyone who was having a go at them with eviction.
The banter continued in the 3rd quarter and still no real issue.
In the last the Eagles cheersquad moved to the other end and we stayed where we were. 4-5 Eagles players parked themselves around 5m away from us, none of them saying a word except for Treeby. When the Eagles kicked the sealer Treeby turned to the cheersquad and said exactly what csbowes mentioned earlier in the thread which was (as he grabbed his crotch) "suck on my n-ts you c---s, take a look at the f---ing scoreboard.
I proceeded to approach weslo, who were 2m away from the Eagles players to ask them why that is tolerated when we were threatened with eviction for less. They proceeded to tell me they heard nothing (remember, they were 2m away from Treeby) which inflamed the situation more. All the while Treeby and some other cheersquad members continued with the verbals.
Things were way to close and it no-one really threw a first punch, it kind of just momentarily exploded with some push and shove between some cheersquad members and Treeby and some Eagles fans. More cheersquad members approached the fraca, including myself to try and break it up but I can see that this would have been quite scary for Treeby as he wouldn't have known some of us only wanted to break it up. He ran back towards the grandstands and yes he was chased.
The stupid part about this is when Treeby saw the 2 burley fellas that you see in the photos were going to back him up, he stopped and faced his pursuers. This is where the main problem started and once again I tried to break it up. I copped a whack in the nose, no idea if it was an Eagles fan or a Sturt fan and I don't really care. It was over pretty quickly from there. Little spotfires broke out after that but nothing major.
If I can think of anything else I'll post it as soon as I can.

Not excusing his behaviour but this is the least stupid part of the whole thing. Of course you will run if its 1 onto 5 (or whatever it was) and turn around if you get some back up.
