Hawks star Nick Watson claims a disgruntled Sydney Swans fan threw a projectile at him after Thursday\u2019s clash at the MCG. <\/p>\n
The Hawks soared over the Swans, winning 99-82 in front of a home crowd with Watson kicking the final goal.<\/p>\n
Watson told Nova on Friday morning that he had engaged in a cheeky sledging match with a pack of Sydney supporters after the game when one of them hurled a Coke bottle on to the field. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey were throwing Coke Zero cans out there,\u201d Watson said. <\/p>\n
\u201cI saw one of them go straight past me. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt just landed right next to us, lucky it didn\u2019t hit any players.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was giving (the Swans fans) heaps, but I am not sure a Coke Zero bottle to the face would have been nice.<\/p>\n
Images released by the Herald Sun show the Coke bottle sailing over Watson\u2019s head after the final siren.<\/p>\n
Watson told Nova hosts Jase Hawkins and Lauren Phillips that he had no idea if any action had been taken against the man who threw the bottle. <\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what happened to the guy (who threw it),\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
The AFL has confirmed it is looking into the incident. <\/p>\n
