Oh great, just what we need after last night's debacle.
Find out who they are and ban them from Brooky, cancel their memberships or whatever needs to be done to be rid of these morons from any of our home games.

Manly players were forced to delay leaving BlueBet Stadium on Thursday night as police were called to an incident where Sea Eagles security were allegedly punched by two Manly supporters.
Sea Eagles officials confirmed on Friday morning they were waiting for a report on the post-match incident where it was alleged two of their security, including Michael Malligan, were punched from behind.
The supporters, dressed in Manly jerseys, were hoping for photos with the players before they departed the venue.
The pair were allegedly told COVID-19 protocols would not allow the fans getting close to their idols in that area of the venue. ‘Clean zones’ and ‘dirty zones’ are enforced by the NRL on game days.
It is then claimed one of the guards was punched in the back of the head before a second Manly security guard arrived and was also punched.
Video footage shows venue security staff rushing in to separate the men. Malligan, who has been the long-time security chief at the club - and helped nab the fan who tried punching Will Chambers at Brookvale Oval a couple of years ago - is also seen shrugging off security guards as he identifies himself.
The gate to the venue was briefly closed as confused Manly players hopped off the bus to see what the commotion was about. No players were involved in the fracas.
Former referee Gavin Badger was spotted trying to usher his wife, Kasey Badger, who worked as the touch judge for the Sea Eagles-Panthers clash, into a waiting car on the other side of the gate.
Police were interviewing one of the men more than 90 minutes after full-time.
The NRL have also been made aware of the incident.
The unwanted scenes will raise the question about clubs having proper exit strategies for players, especially at suburban venues where players struggle to avoid fans once outside the main gates.
Just last month there were reports of a brawl between spectators during a junior representative game between Penrith and the Central Coast in the same area behind BlueBet Stadium.
Manly were defeated 28-6 by the premiers and do not get it any easier next Friday against the Sydney Roosters.
