A young Sydney Swans fan threw a rolled-up sign at Port Adelaide defender Aliir Aliir during a match, prompting immediate disapproval from Aliir and an investigation by police. Despite initial concerns about potential verbal abuse, it was confirmed that an object was thrown, leading to calls for better respect towards players from Power coach Ken Hinkley. The incident occurred during a game where Port Adelaide defeated Sydney 85 to 77, marking a challenging day for the Swans as they remained winless at home this season.
