Hawthorn coach Sam Mitchell says the MCG is not safe after angry Hawthorn supporters erupted and abused match officials during a game on Saturday night. He specifically calls out a group of fans for their behaviour toward umpires.
Mitchell also addresses comments from three Hawthorn players, who say he reacted in a particular way when Jarman Impey was tackled. The outlets report the players described Mitchell’s response using the phrase “stunned mullets.”
All three sources focus on Mitchell’s remarks about crowd conduct and how team members characterise his reaction during the match. They align on the central points: the alleged umpire abuse by supporters at the MCG and Mitchell’s accompanying discussion involving his players’ descriptions of his response in the game.
