ADELAIDE United defender Jordan Elsey launching Brisbane Roar keeper Jamie Young’s water bottles towards the stands on Friday night is destined to attract unwanted Football Federation Australia attention.

Brisbane Roar officials on Tuesday confirmed the club had sent a letter to FFA.

It’s understood Roar’s letter voiced concerns over the tunnel chaos at Hindmarsh among other issues which tarnished the 2-1 win for Adelaide.

A video shows Elsey taking Young’s bottles from behind the goal before throwing them towards the southern stand.

After the shot stopper wouldn’t allow Reds defender Michael Marrone or Ben Halloran a drink, Elsey moved in and the bottles fell short of fans in the southern stand.

The incident happened in the 35th minute when referee Jarred Gillett was at the opposite end of the ground attending to the injured Adam Taggart just before a Reds corner.

Elsey’s bottle mischief was done in front of assistant referee Paul Cetrangolo, stationed on the corner flag on the eastern side of the stadium.

Halloran said he celebrated his first goal, miming he was drinking from a bottle, for a bit of fun.

“At a stoppage Micky Marrone went to get a drink from Jamie Young’s water bottle and he wasn’t too happy about that,’’ Halloran said on Saturday.

“I don’t know I feel like when you’re playing football it’s kind of just fair game with a bottle lying there yeah so I gave him a bit of stick.”

Elsey also featured in Roar midfielder Stefan Mauk’s red card.

The Adelaide defender tried picking the unconscious Mauk off the ground in the heat of the moment which saw United captain Isaias standing over the limp South Australian in an effort to protect his wellbeing.

Taylor Regan was also expelled in the clash and must serve a one match ban.

The Reds centre back posted remorse on Twitter but also backed his actions when he clashed with Mauk by putting hand to his face which saw him attract a second caution and an early shower.

I did the wrong thing and I take full responsibility for my actions and the subsequent consequences. But I will always stand up for myself if someone wants to try and attack me from behind. Hate me or love me, it's who I am. I will never change my beliefs ❤️ #AUFC — Taylor Regan (@taylorreegs) December 3, 2018

However Mauk walking back to the dressing room via the tunnel after his red card saw more drama unfold.

Roar’s assistant coaches Ross Aloisi and Darren Davies were allegedly caught in the middle of a heated exchange with Reds officials not connected to the club’s football department.

Roar football director Pedj Radinovic was spotted on the Fox Sports coverage yelling at an unidentified Reds player to get back in the changeroom when Mauk was escorted for concussion treatment while the game was ongoing.

Elsey was caught in a firey storm for trying to pick up an unconscious Stefan Mauk when the South Australian was red carded for a challenge on Craig Goodwin in the second half.

Roar assistant coaches Ross Aloisi and Darren Davies being subject to a verbal barrage in the tunnel from non Reds football staff as the pair were explaining to United’s coaching staff that Mauk was knocked out was also a point of contention.

Adelaide and FFA have been contacted for comment.
