Pair clash with media after facing court

A man and a woman charged over a brawl at an Adelaide Oval AFL game have clashed with the media after a court appearance.

Natelle Martine Hogg and Bill Brian Neville Fitzgerald have both been charged with aggravated assault over the incident in the grandstand at the match between the Adelaide Crows and Essendon on July 19.

Police allege Hogg struck a man to the head on more than one occasion, resisted officers and refused to give her personal details.

Hogg told the court she "shouldn't have acted the way I did" and asked to plead guilty, though she believed she had acted in self-defence.

But Magistrate Terry Forrest suggested the matter be further adjourned for her to get legal advice.

"You need to understand all the potential ramifications," he said.

The allegations against Fitzgerald were not detailed and he told the court he was applying for legal aid.

Outside the pair clashed with TV reporters and other media, hurling abuse and grabbing at cameras and other equipment.

They will return to court in November.
