Port Adelaide ruckman Scott Lycett<\/a> has revealed the "outrageous" torrent of abuse he has received after his dangerous tackle on Adelaide's Ned McHenry.<\/p>\n

Lycett's dangerous sling tackle left McHenry dazed in the opening quarter of Port's Showdown win, with the ruckman referred directly to the AFL Tribunal for the act.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old took to his personal Instagram account to denounce the abuse, with screenshots revealing a series of disgusting abusive messages sent to him in the wake of his tackle on McHenry.<\/p>\n

One message told Lycett to "literally kill yourself you low life" and "jump off the nearest bridge", while others called him an "ugly West Coast reject".<\/p>\n

\"Ned<\/p>\n

"Footy is a physical game, but I acknowledge my tackle on Ned McHenry last night overstepped the mark and will be dealt with at the AFL Tribunal," he wrote. "I truly hope he's OK."<\/p>\n

"However the abuse that has followed has been outrageous. People should take a breath and reflect before posting."<\/p>\n

According to a Seven News report, South Australian Police are investigating the posts, while the Adelaide Crows also condemned any abuse directed towards players.<\/p>\n

"The club does not condone offensive or threatening behaviour of any kind including on social media and we will investigate whether abuse directed towards a Port Adelaide player involves one of our members, and if so will take appropriate action to reiterate that this behaviour is not tolerated," a club statement read.<\/p>\n
