The AFL is supposedly readied to hand restrictions and penalties to a number of GWS Giants gamers over affirmed “inappropriate behaviour” at a post-season feature. The organization is recognized to have actually currently educated numerous gamers of their most likely suspensions yet they will certainly be offered the possibility to react as component of settlements – according toSeven’s Mitch Cleary While others have actually been educated they are readied to get penalties.
“Multiple Giants players are facing AFL bans in relation to inappropriate behaviour,” Cleary stated. “It centres around distasteful costumes and skits from their postseason function at the end of the 2024 season. Sanctions are now sitting with the players to respond. Several of them are overseas and just learning of this tonight (Tuesday night).”
News Corp reports the feature concerned occurred in mid-September, with a dress-up style of”celebrity couples” Coaches and team were supposedly there for the very early components of the occasion yet not throughout the offending spoofs.
The Giants carried out a first probe right into the occasion and removed its gamers of any kind of unlawful task. However, the organization has actually come down hard on the as-yet-undisclosed occurrences.
Nine’s Tom Morris records “up to 10” gamers can be handed permissions over the “Wacky Wednesday” case, while SEN’s Tom Morris reports that number is more detailed to 6. The restrictions and penalties are recognized to be as an outcome of ‘extremely unacceptable’ acts carried out in a personal space of a resort, which was shut off to the general public.

GWS gamers deal with penalties as Raygun information arises
On Wednesday early morning Morris offered fresh information concerning what happened on the evening concerned, mentioning a bartender at the bar is recognized to have actually taken offense to what took place. “It’s the belief of the Giants players that the story got out because the bartender at the pub made a complaint. They were in a private room,” he stated on SEN radio on Wednesday.
“I understand there is going to be around six suspended players. One young player in particular, who is said to have made an ill-informed joke about P-Diddy, is set for the harshest suspension. The Giants found out about this a few weeks ago, some key players found out about it on prelim final weekend and in the last 48 hours the Giants have been shocked to learn that actual suspensions were on the cards.
” I’m informed a few of the gamers are pressing back on the suspensions, thinking it’s a personal space, absolutely nothing unlawful happened. The AFL and the Integrity Unit has actually had time to consider it, absorb it and explore it. Given that around 6 gamers are readied to be put on hold and penalties of as much as $20,000 are readied to be given out, you would certainly need to recommend there is even more to this.
“A couple of players did a skit from a movie, one player who is set to be fined quite significantly dressed up as Raygun (Aussie Olympian Rachael Gunn).” And according to Cleary, it was GWS captain Toby Greene that went impersonated the Olympic breakdancer. However Cleary states “he wasn’t directly involved in the unsavoury skits – but is set to be given a heavy financial penalty for showing a lack of leadership.” Greene is recognized to have actually been handed a $20,000 penalty by the AFL, while around 6 gamers that were purportedly associated with the spoofs have actually been struck with suit fines.
