I had a quick read of the players code of conduct last night.



Could someone clarify whether the bolded and following means this only applies when a player is "on duty". If not then Dusty made no breach of the code. On the other hand the most the AFL could punish him with is a $5k fine?

Also section 26 of the CBA - game development and promotion covers a players obligations to promote the sport:



It could be argued then that Dusty or any player for that matter actually has no authority or obligation to promote the game in their own time so the whole bringing the game into disrepute argument is moot.
Yep exactly. The AFLPA will be all over it like a rash so the AFL will need to be very reasonable about their approach. Likely to come back to RFC to be dealt with by the leadership group if anything at all.

Does George Pell have a Biggus Dickus?
Dunno, ask an alter boy I guess (yes bad taste, But i went to a country catholic school....).
it reminds me of a joke one of my school mates told in class
"Q . Why does "Brother ...... " wear jocks in the shower? A. He doesn't want to look down on the unemployed".
After he obvious uproar, he copped one of the biggest hiding I've seen by "Brother ...." Well worth it I thought...

I'll be dirty if the AFL give him too much, however whatever the club decide to do about it I'm happy with.
I'd be surprised if the AFL give him anything . They'll be liasing with the club to ensure the club gives him a penalty big enough that the AFL doesn't have to be seen as giving a penalty and escape any scrutiny or negative press.
