UPDATE 10.43am: THE father of Demon Ricky Petterd has hit out at the opposition player who abused his son.
Wayne Petterd said West Coast's Parick McGinnity had crossed the line when he unleashed a string of ugly comments about his son's mother.
McGinninty was charged under an AFL code of conduct regarding respect to women after the remarks during the weekend match at Etihad Stadium.
"I've played a lot of footy but it seems to have got to the stage where people are saying stuff over and above,'' Mr Petterd said.
"I just think this bloke has to learn to grow up. When you disrespect a player’s family, you have crossed the line.

Wonder what he actually said? Seem ludicrous that he could be suspended for this...
