AFL: Crowd violence on the rise?

The weekends AFL crowd violence seemed to have been missed by many sports commentators. Funny they never seem to miss any football "riots."

Bottles were thrown in Adelaide at the St. Kilda/Adelaide Crows game with at least one twelve year old boy hit.

Of course each report had a little dig at the "soccer violence creeping into our game."

And there's me thinking the violence was inspired by AFL's own Barry Hall, or maybe Aussie tennis or even cricket fans!
