Watching the Hawks v Swans game and a Hawthorn supporter deliberately held on to the ball for a short while when the Hawks had kicked it out on the full. Laidler was made to wait to receive the ball for the free kick whilst old mate stared at him smiling with the ball. It wasn't long - maybe 5-7 seconds, but could have made a difference to the next forward entry from the Swans.
What are people's thoughts on that supporter? Do people in the crowd have an unwritten obligation not to interfere with the play and just give the ball back ASAP? How would you feel if it was an opposition supporter doing it to us and conversely, would you be annoyed with the person if they were from your team instead?
