A witness has described the drunken antics of one of three AFL footballers who clashed with police during a Lionel Ritchie concert at a Victorian winery.

The woman, who asked not to be named, said she saw the incident involving  Kangaroos players Aaron Edwards, Shannon Grant and Hamish McIntosh during the concert at Scotchman's Hill winery at Drysdale, near Geelong, on Saturday night.

The trio clashed with security guards and police, who reportedly used capsicum spray to subdue Grant while Edwards lay unconscious nearby.

Edwards will face disciplinary action from the club over the incident.

The woman who witnessed the altercation said Edwards looked extremely drunk.

"I was working at ... a A Day On The Green, and saw Aaron Edwards being dragged out by police in a T-shirt and his red jocks,'' the woman said.

"His shorts had fallen off while police were trying to restrain him. His girlfriend grabbed his shorts and was screaming at him to get up off the ground.

"My mates and I were sitting on the grass and he was right in front of us while it all happened.''

The woman said Edwards' teammates asked police not to eject him from the venue in front of concertgoers.

"He had to be hand cuffed, and his fellow footballer mates were begging the police not to take him through the crowd of people, but they did.''

The woman said she spotted Edwards again outside the venue.

"I then saw them once they had been escorted out, and Aaron Edwards was rolling down the hill still in his underwear in the car park.''

Earlier, police would not confirm that three Kangaroos players were subdued with capsicum spray during the clash, despite the AFL club admitting its players were involved.

In a separate incident,  Kangaroos player Matt Campbell was charged with resisting arrest and being drunk in a public place  early on Sunday morning.

A Victoria Police spokeswoman said investigations were continuing into the Drysdale incident.

Asked by The Age to confirm details of the Kangaroos' statement on the involvement of its players, the spokeswoman said:  "We're still trying to find out what happened from the police point of view before we go confirming things.''

Kangaroos' general manager of football operations Donald McDonald said in a statement from the club that the two incidents, which were both alcohol-related, were deeply disappointing.

"Aaron Edwards was escorted from a function on Saturday evening by police, however he was not charged. Shannon Grant and Hamish McIntosh were both with Edwards at the time of the incident,'' Mr McDonald said.

"In a separate incident Matt Campbell was charged with resisting arrest and being drunk in a public place around 1.30am on Sunday morning.

"We will follow our code of conduct, which involves consulting with our leadership group, in relation to both these incidents before any further action is taken.

"Thankfully no member of the public was directly affected by either of these incidents.

"The club will be making no further comment on these issues.''
