Adelaide forward Eddie Betts is keen to move on from the racist incident that marred an AFL match at Adelaide Oval.Indigenous Crows star Betts had a banana thrown at him by a Port Adelaide fan during Saturday nights match.Adelaide skipper Taylor Walker noted the club had rallied around Betts, adding that the 29-year-old was keen to step out of the spotlight and focus on a Friday night clash with West Coast.As a footy club .. were fully supportive of Eddie and his family, Walker told Fox Footy.He wants to move on. Hes a team player, he wants to get on with footy.As a footy club we just have to do that as a whole.The most disappointing thing about it is we should be sitting here talking about what Eddie Betts has done for the game.The supporter, who is in her mid-20s, was banned indefinitely from AFL games after targeting Betts in his 250th game.Port Adelaide issued a statement on behalf of the woman late on Monday, saying she apologised and would accept her punishment.Walker praised the way Port handled the situation.A lot of respect goes to Port Adelaide, he said.Betts broke his silence on Monday night, saying racism towards indigenous players remained an issue for the AFL.Its sad that racism still exists in our game, Betts told the Crows website.Hopefully people can learn from it.Ive obviously got to find a way to put it aside because weve got finals coming up (and) weve got West Coast on Friday night.Thats probably one of the main things that I need to focus on now, its going forward, putting it aside and focusing on footy.

The Western Bulldogs have pin-pointed stopping Hawthorns dangerous small forwards as key to their chances of making a first AFL preliminary final since 2010.Cyril Rioli, Paul Puopolo and Luke Breust have caused headaches for opposition sides all year, Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge admitting the trio will require extra attention in Fridays semi-final given Hawthorns talent in spreading the ball around the wide expanses of the MCG.They provide a significant aerial and ground threat, so well need to put enough pressure on the ball and give our defenders a chance to win the ball back really quickly, Beveridge said on Thursday.Thatll have a big say on the outcome, I would have thought.Much has been made of the contrasting paths the Hawks and Bulldogs have taken on their way to the finals.The Dogs pride themselves on playing tough, contested football and will look to bring the same intent as they did in their elimination final win over West Coast.Hawthorn have backed their outstanding footskills and ball movement to the point where coach Alistair Clarkson has dismissed the contested possessions metric as irrelevant.But despite the rhetoric, Beveridge expects the Hawks to bring a hard edge to stoppages, and doesnt think therell be much difference between the two sides skills.If you looked at the whole year, Hawthorn were way ahead of us, but we were better with our skills last wweek so I dont think were poles apart there, he said.dddddddddddd.Being able to defend the extremities of the G is always a big challenge.Thatll have a say but finals are normally won at the intensity, the grunt, the appetite for the contest and the courage side of it.I know both sides will bring it. Hopefully its us that comes out on top.The Bulldogs three-point loss to the Hawks in round three - marred by an ACL injury to captain Bob Murphy - remains a sore point at Whitten Oval and Beveridge says hes well aware of the need to match Hawthorns tactical nous.Thats one of the things Hawthorn have done unbelievably well over the journey, he said.I think weve held up pretty well this year in close games. Thatll be our challenge - to make sure we pull the right string or the right cord if the time comes.Beveridge says the Dogs have pulled up well after last weeks win over West Coast, with Lin Jong (broken collarbone) expected to be the only omission.His replacement is likely to be either forward Toby McLean or midfielder Lukas Webb, who were each held out of the VFL over the weekend.Jong is considered an outside chance to play again in the finals if the Bulldogs make it past Hawthorn but is out of contract and likely to seek a trade to a new club.
