PORT ADELAIDE has urged its fans to not to single out Adelaide defender Nathan Bock when the Power clash with the Crows in Saturday night's Showdown XXVI.
Bock - who was reported by police for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend earlier this month - was booed by Melbourne supporters throughout Sunday's match at the MCG.
Speaking at his post-match press conference, Adelaide coach Neil Craig described the crowd's behaviour as being in poor taste.
Port president Brett Duncason encouraged fans to leave the All-Australian centre-half back alone.
“It’s not my role to tell our supporters what to do, but I’d encourage them to concentrate on our guys and getting them across the line,” Duncanson said.
“We believe they’re the most passionate supporters in the land and they’re very passionate about our superstars.
“I’m sure they’ll concentrate on our people and what Adelaide’s players are up to is up to them.”
