AFL Investigates Crowd Abuse Incident Involving Dakota Davidson

News summary

Brisbane Lions forward Dakota Davidson was left in tears during an AFLW match against St Kilda after being reportedly heckled by a spectator, with the incident prompting an investigation by the AFL's Integrity Unit. The abuse, believed to have involved mocking her appearance, occurred just before the third-quarter siren. The club expressed gratitude for the swift action taken by match officials and security, which resulted in the ejection of the patron involved. Davidson has previously faced online trolling related to her appearance, particularly after her performance in the 2023 AFLW Grand Final. The AFL has increased penalties for crowd vilification, which can lead to lifetime bans for offenders. Davidson, a dual premiership player, continues to advocate for respect and support for athletes in the sport.
