The Japanese tourist chose the most poignant moment of the third quarter to stroll, without the need to show his membership card, down our aisle amongst the North Melbourne members to begin taking photos of his \u201cexperience\u201d at an AFL game.<\/p>\n

\"Quentin<\/a>Showing extreme patience with the Roos under siege from a rebounding Collingwood, the members tolerated his snaps of the stadium, the crowd and the exotic local sports cuisine. His final mistake to test the generosity of his hosts came when he turned the camera on himself for a selfie<\/i> presumably with Quentin \u201cThe Pornstar\u201d Lynch in the background.<\/p>\n

A line had been crossed.<\/p>\n

He\u2019d traversed the boundary between archiving and indulgence. Normally good tempered bloke in front of me finally snapped and tapped him on the shoulder \u2013 \u201cthat\u2019s enough mate\u201d accompanied by a thumb pointing backward, hit the road Jack style.<\/p>\n

He bowed with \u201cof course, of course\u201d and departed to stream the pics back to Japan. No one had the heart to tell him you can never get a signal out of Etihad<\/p>\n

I did not hear the full interchange but can report her retort as she was ejected was punctuated with \u201cf\u2019ing this, f\u2019ing that\u201d.<\/p>\n
