Hey KP - Although there is nothing specific in the law book about what is to occur in this situation I believe it is similar to the law regarding unauthorised entry to playing surface which is below
10.6 UNAUTHORISED ENTRY ON PLAYING SURFACE AND TERMINATION
OF A MATCH
10.6.1 Entry on Playing Surface
Where a person(s) enters the Playing Surface when they are not
permitted to do so, the field Umpire shall:
(a) stop play at the first available opportunity; and
(b) seek the assistance of person(s) authorised by the relevant
Controlling Body to remove the unauthorised person(s) from the
Playing Surface.
(c) Once the person(s) has been removed from the Playing Surface,
the field Umpire shall recommence play as follows depending on
the circumstances:
(i) Where the Football was in dispute at the time play was
stopped, by bouncing or throwing up the Football;
(ii) Where the Football was out of bounds at the time play was
stopped, by directing the boundary Umpire to throw the
Football in;
(iii) Where a Player had possession of the Football at the time
play was stopped, by awarding a Free Kick to the Player;
(iv) Where a Player had been awarded a Free Kick or a Mark
at the time play was stopped, by allowing the Player to
dispose of the Football.
