AFL fooball operations manager Adrian Anderson says the league will not take any action against David Hille concerning a spitting allegation that was levelled at the Essendon ruckman after Sunday's clash against Carlton at the MCG.
Anderson said that Essendon had informed him that a fan made a complaint to the Bombers after the match that Hille spat on or at them during the final term.
AFL investigations officer Graeme McDonald conducted a thorough inquiry into the matter before deciding no further action would be taken.
Anderson said in a statement released on Thursday afternoon that McDonald found Hille did spit while in the vicinity of the complainant but that the evidence did not support the allegation that he directly spat at or on anyone.
"Mr McDonald reviewed all available video evidence from the match, interviewed members of both Carlton and Essendon's support staff who were in the vicinity at the time, interviewed David Hille, interviewed the complainant and also interviewed other members of the public who were sitting with the person who made the complaint to the Essendon Football Club," he said.
