In any other workplace, he'd have been stood down with pay until this whole thing was sorted out.
But hey, footballers are different apparently. He's 'a top bloke', and 'the heart and soul of the Footy Club'. 'Let him play', say the chorus of boys club boof heads.
And so, he will.
A disgrace really. I feel uncomfortable him playing as I dont believe its a good look for the AFL given the seriousness of the matter.You're right, In any other work place, you would be stood down pending, how this is not the case here baffles me. The AFL is proving to be a law unto itself which to some extent is ok however, they contradict themselves by first preaching how good they are and how they "adopt best practices" and "go over and above codes"...all until the poo hits the fan!
