Footy punch 'unacceptable': Vic premier

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews says an AFL Diversity Manager punching another player in the head in a local footy game is "totally unacceptable".

AFL employee Ali Fahour was caught on video punching another player during a suburban football game on Saturday.

"That sort of the behaviour is totally unacceptable, in footy, everywhere really," Premier Daniel Andrews told reporters on Tuesday.

"There's no acceptable place, on the football field or off for that sort of conduct.

"I think most fair minded Victorians know there's no place in our game or in our community for that sort of behaviour."

The AFL is facing calls for Fahour, brother of former Australia Post CEO Ahmed Fahour, to be sacked from his league position.

'That's a matter for the AFL. I know they take their position in our community very seriously," Mr Andrews said.

"No doubt they'll look at a whole range of different issues."

Fahour faces a tribunal hearing on Wednesday night where a football suspension will be decided.

"I accept that at no time is this kind of action acceptable on the football field or anywhere else," Fahour told reporters on Monday.

"I am deeply ashamed of my actions. There is no explanation or excuse."
