"Two Melbourne AFL players have been busted fighting outside a Gold Coast strip club just days after Brisbane was announced as the host of this year’s Grand Final and amid controversy over the number of interstate players and families allowed in the state."

"Hundreds of AFL players, families and officials have relocated to Queensland to keep the season going away from Melbourne’s coronavirus outbreak.

To prevent the spread of the virus, clubs have been quarantining in Gold Coast “hubs” - resorts where families can lounge by the pool and interact with each other but not the outside world."

Richmond players thank god.

Coleman-Jones and Stack. Guess they'll be heading back to enjoy Stage 4 in the Lepers' Colony

Naughty boys

[Impatient Sainter]

"Richmond is facing an enormous fine and the AFL has the power to strip the club of draft picks or premiership points after two Tigers players were arrested outside the Queensland footy hub."

[saints66]

shame it wasn’t Collingwood players now we have to listen to Eddy for weeks !!

[older saint]

First Cotchin ( Mrs) now these 2 - lets hear Hardwick defend this one .

Bye bye lads, $100k poorer - that goes against the soft cap next year so may well have just cost someone their job.

Kick them out of finals and we should be guaranteed to make it..

[shanegrambeau]

Like the way the media adds, “outside a strip-club” so we automatically assume they were inside. That know the entertainment value that provides.

Yes, pity it was not one of Eddies boys. Gosh, hate hearing him spouting on about the night grand final and TV. Does he actually own ‘ Footy Classified’? I mean his media comapny?

[Devilhead]

Coleman-Jones anyone ........ anyone?

[SaintPav]

Those boys really should have learnt from the Crotchins messy facial fiasco.

Aren't the reigning premiers an ornament to our code. Multiple Covid breaches jeopardising the whole comp - latest a nice slap in the face immediately after GF announcement. On field its a litany of cheap but painful illegal acts, Captain is a sniper, Coach goes below the belt when criticised. Dusty - model citizen. Reiwoldt, the cuz, so up himself and smug he could be in a circus. Lynch a highly talented wanker and cheat. Success has not brought class. I hope the AFL consider docking points if it is possible - fines don't get the club or the players attention. Absolutely pp effort by those boys - they just don't get it. So stupidly selfish.

They were ouutside the strip club 'cause they had been evicted ffs.

"The Courier-Mail has been told the two players, Sydney Stack and Callum Coleman-Jones were involved in an altercation last night after being evicted from Hollywood Showgirls on the glitter strip’s Orchid Ave."

Yep Richmond are not a pleasant cluster of human/sportspeople/club/identity.

I grew up in the ‘70s and they were the strongest most brutal team going around all through, especially at primary school, precisely when the Saints tenure under Jeans was heading south.

Thirty Five years of them being diabolical and drama queens was not a a problem for me or any of us.

Jack Riewoldt Now seems pompous and entitled. Though once I thought he was humble.

They have well and truly over stayed their welcome to the top four and it is really time for descent to the flames again. Thank you, move on.

Funnily enough - Dusty is the least of their issues. Who would've thought that?

[The Fireman]

usually skunk players... I feel let down

What hope of a grand final in Queensland.

These two Richmond players are the tip of the iceberg.
They prove there are a lot of dumb footballers as well as intelligent footballers.
This iceberg may sink the AFL's Titanic
And it hits at the end of round 18.
That's when 10 clubs finals chances are dashed and prepare to go home.
But it is that time when all discipline breaks down.
Players about to leave Queensland breach their hubs go on MAD MONDAY.

Half the players in the hubs have below median intelligence.
What hope does the AFL have of preventing players breaking their isolation in hubs before they depart Queensland.
The AFL will need to charter flights out of Queensland within minutes of the 10 clubs last games.

$100K Suspended....

Richmond run the AFL at the moment.

Heaven help the minnow club that did the same thing.

Not quite correct the following via the AFL site -

Their indiscretion also cost the Tigers a fine of $100,000 - $75,000 of which will be paid by Stack and Coleman-Jones. 

[saynta]

10 week bans for the players who are to be sent home.

100 grand fine to be included in 2021 soft cap 75 grand of which to be paid by the two miscreants.

Nothing suspended as far as I can make out.

[johnearljames]

16 points taken off them would have been nice or placed into 9th spot.

[Toy Saint]

This, and take away their 1st round draft pick next year.

[desertsaint]

gonna cause a shitstorm with the aflpa if richmond think the players will be paying out of their own pocket.

[Yorkeys]

Hypothetical: Richmond make a preliminary final and during the lead up week there is another breach by the Club. AFL's nightmare. Would Richmond now be on notice from the AFL about the consequences of another breach, I wonder, or is Gill assuming they could not be so foolish as to breach again.

[samuraisaint]

and reported in the media they now have to pay the 25,000 suspended from the previous breach.

Ouch.

[shanegrambeau]

....Half the players in the hubs have below median intelligence....

For a moment, I read that to mean, at least half the players are plain dumb!!!

And I chuckled...hoho haha

Is that what they call cognitive bias?

Then I realized it is just a perfectly rational and obvious conclusion. Of course you could draw a bell curve of players in the hub. duh...
