Pates 9,697 Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 Interesting to hear so many other AFL players out there when this incident occurred, is it common for there to be clumps of AFL players out? Are there pubs/nightclubs that are known AFL player hotspots? Quote

Are there pubs/nightclubs that are known AFL player hotspots? I’m old now so no idea these days, but back in the day when I was going out to clubs, there were places known for their “footy players”. The promoters would pay players to attend to draw a crowd. It was generally a mix of different players from different clubs. They were often very drunk as everyone would buy them drinks. I’ve lost a lot of respect for lots of Hawthorn players as they were overall the worst behaved. I would hope in 2021, and with an 8-0 start that our players can make a commitment to themselves not to be out and partying during the season. I also think we are lucky that many of our players, even the younger ones, seem to be in serious long term relationships. Some are even parents. Quote

Jake Niall seems to have filled that void with this doozy: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/why-richmond-aren-t-punishing-bolton-and-rioli-20210511-p57qw1.html "The first factor was that the players, who might have had a couple of drinks, had not been intoxicated....Second, the incident was said to have taken place just after midnight, rather than in a dangerous time slot around 2am or later" ? 1 Quote

I'm sure there were 100's of other people in the club at the same time...maybe he should just name them all. Or maybe this is even better...Max Gawn wasn't seen at yo yo club on Saturday night, no suggestion he knows anything about the incident or did anything wrong. Edited May 12, 2021 by rjay Quote
