Adelaide defender Michael Marrone went to retrieve the ball from a ball boy, who refused to hand it over in an attempt to run down the clock.
An agitated Marrone then pushes the youngster to the ground, which sparks a melee on the sideline.
The player was shown a red card when the incident eventually died down.
