Bobby Hill targeted by racist abuse as Geelong holds off Collingwood in AFL thriller
The Age—Geelong held off a fast-finishing Collingwood at the MCG in Thursday night's AFL clash, but the match was overshadowed by a vile racist rant directed at Geelong forward Bobby Hill during play. Both the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age ran the same wire report, so neither has yet detailed who was responsible, whether anyone was ejected from the ground, or what the AFL's disciplinary response will be. The final result — Geelong holding off the Pies — is likely to be secondary to the abuse directed at Hill in the coverage that follows. No player or club statement is yet quoted in either report.
