In 2020, you'd have thought we'd moved past these displays of boys club conduct within professional AFL clubs. I guess not. It shows how far the league still has to go in professionalism.
That type of behaviour wouldn't be tolerated at a McDonalds if it was done by bunch of teen boys, so why should it be tolerated in a professional sports club that employs grown men?
Just harmless fun and games...maybe, maybe not. It shouldn't be tolerated as the norm because you don't really know how it affects each player. Even if it was just fun for all and a one off situation, it's a bad look for the AFL who want to provide inoffensive family friendly viewing.
