AFL:Dogs defender takes down Wizard - and abusive fan

Western Bulldogs defender Michael Sellwood has called on the AFL to ban the spectator who called him a "weak something" in a sour aftermath to the thrilling win over Hawthorn.

Sellwood played a key role blunting Hawks livewire Nick Watson as the Bulldogs overturned a 29-point deficit in their 12.5 (77) to 9.17 (71) victory at the MCG on Friday night.

The pair were involved in a running battle throughout the contest, with tension boiling over multiple times.

A scuffle between them after the quarter-time siren led to an all-in melee, lighting the fuse in a fiery encounter.

Sellwood ultimately came out on top but took exception to a comment from a spectator while Bulldogs players were celebrating post-match.

"I'm not going to repeat what he said ... but I wasn't happy with it," Sellwood told Seven.
