A man has been charged for lighting a flare in the final quarter of the Crows' clash with Geelong at Adelaide Oval on Friday night.
The 33-year-old was charged by police for carrying a flare and discharging a flare, and is set to face court in August after being bailed.
He has also been banned from entering the Adelaide Oval for the next six months.
The incident happened late in Adelaide's 21-point win over the Cats, and occurred under the old scoreboard on the hill.

Adelaide director Rod Jameson said he was disappointed the fan was allowed in the venue with a flare, but believes it's the first and last time something like that will ever happen.
"We'll be all over it pretty quickly,โ Jameson told ABC Grandstand following the match.
"For that to be missed at a venue with that scale (of security) on a Friday night, national audience, everything about it ... it's extremely poor.
โA lot of people will be looking into it so it never happens again and I think it was remedied very quickly, but I think it should never happen.โ
