Port Adelaide AFL ruckman Dean Brogan has been fined for assaulting an Adelaide Crows fan in an incident a magistrate said stemmed from the community's unhealthy obsession with sport.
Brogan, the first sportsman to win an AFL premiership and a National Basketball League championship, pleaded guilty to an assault charge in the Adelaide Magistrates Court.
The Port player was fined $750 for breaking the nose of Crows fan Dale Mortimer with a single punch at the Adelaide Airport on June 3 last year.
Brogan is also separately charged with assaulting an Adelaide oral surgeon last October in a case yet to be listed for trial.
The court heard Mr Mortimer walked past Brogan at the airport and remarked: "You're playing for the wrong team, ********" as the Port player waited for a flight to Melbourne for an AFL game.
D Brogan getting as bad as that lot from West coast.
