The mother of three is suing the AFL and Etihad Stadium after claiming she was injured when she was allegedly hit in the head by a football three years ago while she was waiting to buy tickets.

Ms Burns said she suffered meltdown after her husband drove past the stadium and she can no longer bring her self to watch AFL.

Ms Burns claims her decision to sue the stadium and the AFL is not about the money but rather their negligence.

‘I just want more information, and I want more signage,’ she said.

‘I want more heavy fines if people do this because I don’t want it to happen to anyone else,’ she added.

Ms Burns is now being looked after by her intellectually disabled son, Brock MacQueen who said his mother isn’t coping well.

An AFL spokesman told Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday that the AFL had not yet received any details regarding the reported legal action and wouldn’t provide any further comment.

Daily Mail Australia tried contacting AFL again for further comments but still hasn’t received any further information.
