There's no need to be so PC about this. Dogs fans have a terrible and infamous reputation for a reason.
Like soccer fans?

We saw it with a tonga v samoa game I think at penrith a few years back?The biggest hazard with staying out on the field is the potential for the ground to be swarmed by fans. It only takes a couple idiots to jump the gates and the rest hurl over like a bunch of sheep and all of a sudden the situation becomes unmanageable for security and police. It's not something I can ever recall happening in Australia but that doesn't mean we should be naive to the potential of it happening.
Running up the tunnel was the smartest thing to do, get out of view as quick as possible of the angry fans. Maybe there might have been a smarter exit though, I know there's a couple of entry/exit points to the field.

I've had 90% good experiences with Dogs fans in recent years. They were all great at the Grand Final, had many congratulate me and a few party with us after wards. But there has still been the odd game where I've felt like Dogs fans have been threatening me, my friends or people around me. And that has only happened at Dogs games. There is a real bad element in the Dogs crowds and I don't think these people are real football fans at all. The equivalent of soccer hooligans
Put Tony Abbott on the gates, turn around any supporter who looks like he'd throw a bottle
I don't have a dog, can I kick the plant in my yard?
Very embarrassing.
We just lost a stack of junior players & junior refs.
This code is killing itself.
If the crowd acting up and players abusing referees really did any damage to a sporting code, soccer would have died 50 years ago...
