Sixteen Adelaide Crows players who broke the AFL’s coronavirus training protocols have copped a one-game ban, which has been suspended for the rest of the season.
And Adelaide assistant coach Ben Hart has been stood down from coaching for the next six weeks for his involvement in last week’s botched training at the Barossa Valley.
An AFL investigation found the Crows group weren’t seeking a competitive advantage when they trained together, instead of being in self-isolation.
The 16 players are:
1. Kyle Hartigan
2. William Hamill
3. Ayce Taylor
4. Ben Davis
5. Lachlan Sholl
6. Jordon Butts
7. Lachlan Gollant
8. Ronin O’Connor
9. Ben Keays
10. Fischer McAsey
11. Joshua Worrell
12. William Frampton
13. Tom Doedee
14. Elliott Himmelberg
15. Myles Poholke
16. Lachlan Murphy

If we're banning annoying media personalities than Basil Zempilas can join that list. Hard to believe he wants to become mayor of Perth or something.. :laughing:

How dumb are these blokes, seriously they should have got bans just for being ridiculously stupid. The action was nothing, the sheer bloody stupidity of it is what makes me think…..wow

Haha, yes. “Journalism” in this country is a weird beast at times, and I’m saying that as a media student!

It did seem to be a battle of the outlandish punishment, it might be a slow sports period but shoddy opinions have become the norm in journalism hey.

I laughed at Seven’s Tom Browne tweeting how he believed it would be a “two draft pick and $100k sanction” before having to backtrack 24 hours later :laughing:

Sensible, after a weekend of Whateley's hammer of justice and the obligatory caro arrow you'd of believed the wrath of God like at the end of raiders of the lost arc was to be unleashed.
