Geelong players imposed ban on Steve Johnson. I'd look for an article to link but my PC 's running awfully.

I'm speechless . I  reckon he's still ahead of danger/wood and will get the last laugh !

I still wonder if Olisik supports Melbourne.  Never seen him say something positive about the club, only ever rocks up to bring up something negative.  He must support Richmond.

This if news pal.

That's it for Spencer - he is the senior player- time waster.See ya.

JkH young and impressionable but suffered the most.Would have played.

Kent looking dumber by the day.

Normally I don't care about this stuff but with the injury list sit is they let us down.

Team  bonding at the expense of recovery , wonder if it was the whack they got from the club that left them flat this week . 

Anyways move on . They are young men Im sure most players lets there hair down once or twice during the season and if they dont they should . 

Hang on a minute, let me know if if got this right.

they had drinks after their VFL match and none of them were named as emergencies for the AFL team that was over in Perth at the time.

At what point are they allowed to be grown arse adults?

how is this in any way a problem? Doesn't sound like they caused any trouble anywhere and as long as they're at training Monday morning fit and ready to go how is it it any way the clubs concern what players do in their own time. Sound like team rules for the sake of having stupid rules

Hmmm maybe because the seniors were playing that night & if we get injuries (like we did) they'd have a 6 day turn around & going out on the [censored] hinders your recovery... 

May have cost the game made no sense picking 2 defenders when we have all our goal scores sidelined 

How long is Kennedy's contract? Get rid of him.

List management 

This is not our year.

Injury problems and discipline issues on and off field.

Admin and coaches need to sort this out.  I don't care if a couple of good players get pushed out.

Looking like another development year when we are a bees dick away from being contenders.

Also seems interesting on social media a lot of players have let their hair down last night... Not sure why the 4 players mentioned couldn't follow team rules & wait until this weekend to have a drink. I'd more than likely say they made a rule no drinking during this stretch of short breaks/big games & those 4 broke them

Lucky for them Bevo and Murphy thought differently in 2016.

Well done to Goody setting the standard & culture ...Can't understand these players who have struggled thru injury & form why would they not follow team rules?

Did they play on the VFL & does it explain the bad loss to Port ??

I'm sure having 'a beer' is fine.  If they turn up at a recovery session still affected, then this is definitely not up to standard.  I dont know, but this is what I suspect has happened.

Perhaps celebrating their call ups a little early?

in the instance of Harris ..Id be bringing him in for a chat..

tear up the contract in front if him..with a "let's revisit this is a month....maybe "

then Id let the other three know

Anyone know what the club rules are? I would have assumed beers are OK after a Saturday game - Bernie's 200th springs to mind. I am genuinely intrigued as to what the rule is.

If the players got on the turps after Bernie's 200th vs Adelaide, it would certainly explain why we were so flat against the 17th place North the following week.

I'm of the understanding that the players are permitted to get on the sauce after a game provided we have at least an 8 day break until the next game.

My best guess is it's something like BBP writes - drinking after a game is probably fine when we have a longer break but probably not when we have a shorter one.

I would guess that the players knew or ought to have known not to go drinking last Saturday night given the 6-day turnaround to this week's game.

The worst thing about this is that three of them (JKH, Kennedy, Kent) were all in serious contention for selection this week. Did none of them want their spot in the team that badly?

They are allowed to drink on eight day breaks or basically not seven days before a game.

 

occurs a few times a season plus the bye

Is oft suggested much of footy is between the ears.  This awesome foursome just clarified how much goes on between theirs !! 

So ah...yeah...list management gets easier some days .

Anybody actually know the facts on here, the Club obviously did and metered out what they thought was an appropiate penalty

Done and dusted in house, move on

That just sounds like envy, what posters think of their actions counts for very little, same as their playing abilities

Unless you are 1 of the 4 you have no idea what occurred

The club has handled it

Guys in 20's [censored] up, who would have thought

I find it quite astonishing that you defend this quartet of players given the circumstances of the injury list and available spots in the 22 that are there for the taking.

I guess those spots are for the players on the list that are totally invested in the club, have bought into the 'journey' that Goodwin speaks of so regularly, are driving the right behaviours to produce a strong culture at the club which will set is up for a sustained period of success.

FMD, Saty. I don't care if we're not in a position to know what actually went on - I couldn't give a stuff! And it's great the club has handled it - I mean as if they didn't have better things to do like pick the best 22 players available to hopefully pull off a remarkable victory against the Swans considering we'd played 4 games in 18 days!

You need to look at the bigger picture here. You commit a lot of your time to the club in volunteer hours and we all invest time, money and emotions into the club hoping that one day soon we'll win a flag. To achieve this, these "young blokes in their 20's" sign a contract and enter into an environment that gives them every chance to succeed at there profession but ultimately it's too easy to go a drink beers against club/team rules.

Pretty simple really.

How you can't be disappointed is beyond me.

Of course I am disappointed, the Club has handled it, I don't feel the need to adopt a holier than thou attitude and go on and on about it

They [censored] up, nobody died

Not defending the quartet because I don't know what specific parameters were set.  However, there is a possibility that the Club put in place a protocol for the 4 games in 18 days for the entire senior list without thinking through that the 6 day turnarounds and travel component didn't apply to the Casey fixture and therefore ought not apply to the Casey players.  There is also a possibility that the quartet thought for the same reason, that it didn't apply to them ie misunderstanding.   I'm fully supportive of the Club standing firm, would just advocate that the protocols put in place are well thought through.
