THREE Collingwood fans have been arrested after allegedly bashing the father of Melbourne midfielder Nathan Jones.
Brad Jones was left bloody and bruised and taken to hospital with a suspected fractured cheekbone and broken nose.
Melbourne president Jim Stynes said in a statement the club was shocked by the attack and that people should feel safe when attending the football.
“We want to keep this as a family sport rather than a thug sport,'' he said.
“Fans should maintain the spirit of the game after the siren sounds and celebrate with the spirit of humility."
"First and foremost The Melbourne Football Club is for family. Everyone is welcome at our games. Everyone must feel safe and secure and free to express their passion for the club they support.
"One of the great things about the culture of AFL football is this type of behaviour is very rare. Irrespective of whom you support - supporter violence is just not on.”
