Old news?

Tiger Grimes stunned by AFL 'cover-up'

Richmond defender Dylan Grimes says the AFL did an "amazing job" of covering up a potential COVID-19 protocol breach after the Tigers' hotel accommodation in Adelaide was inundated by homeless people in August.

Haven't heard that one.

I think the only responsible outcome to this is to take the premiership from them.

The source of this story was a video posted on YouTube about a month ago. Grimes and Riewoldt shooting the s**t at a presentation night/function, having a laugh, while having a beer in hand.

It was posted on the Richmond board at the time.

Unfortunately, the quotes from the article provide no context whatsoever. As a result of that, I am crying into Premiership cups as we speak.

Afl covered it up nicely , players spoke through.The afl fined teams for individual breaches yet they put the whole club at risk players and staff work that out hypocrites.Funny how the media hasn't jumped on it are they told to be silent by the afl makes you wonder bit like this board not much attention this topic I wonder why.

What a beat up ! - It was the state health authorities in this case SA Health who make all the travelling and bio-security protocols for travelling sporting teams. It has nothing to do with the AFL - It's a case of Richmond shifting blame for their mis-behaviour during 2020.

Reckon that's what happened with the Watts car incident. Eve of finals, Port a contender, weirdly no reference at all to the player bubble breach. No scribe seemed to even pose the question. Not that Tigers did anything wrong here, just that it's further proof that the AFL can silence their accredited media as needs be.

So Richmond organised team hotels LOL you got no idea it's the afl who does and has duty of care for all staff and players.

Didn’t they say Watts was already out of the bubble? Or was that just said conveniently afterwards.

That's not fair, you're right that most ARE yes men - but there are yes women too.

never ever met one of them....they always say NO, Hellllllllllllllllll NO to me.

A bunch of homeless people put into the same hotel as the Richmond team.

No doubt the Richmond players just thought it was their cheersquad

 

[yaco55]

What a load of sh*t

You are so naive, it's not funny - Any form of quarantine in these COVID times ( even for a FIFO game in which you spend a few hours at a hotel ) is organized by the relevant health authorities - The AFL or for that matter any sporting body, doesn't choose the hotel in which they stay - It's a stuff up by the relevant health authorities.

 

[yaco55]

It is the health authorities who choose the hotels not the AFL - It's surprising you fail to understand this matter.

So who does the responsibility ultimately come down to if the health authorities choose to the hotels as you claim stuff up or no stuff up ? , it's not the AFL running the game in charge . The clubs come back to the AFL not health authorities they a responsible for this incident at the end of the day.What happens between them and health authorities is irrelevant to the clubs That's a cop out your giving the AFL.

Ban Richmond for 2021.

Ban Richmond for 2021.

I think we can all agree this is the only appropriate sanction.

Look reading between the lines it seems in either an AFL or SA stuff up. So I suggest we just ban the AFL in SA

After Adelaide's 2020 season I'm surprised SA didn't ban AFL.
