All teams? Sounds like ASADA is the problem.

 

[unplugged]

Simple maths would tell me that we had 3 players, Fremantle had 2.

Doesn't sound like a very big deal whatsoever.

No, just us and the Dockers:

 

[Mkcaptain]

They should make the players pay the fine

Why?

Why?

This article says the players hadn't kept the club up to date with their details which caused this error.

Not for me. It's the clubs responsibility to submit the data so they've dropped the ball. Each to their own though.

There any other sports in the world that have to put up with this location s**t as well?

You only have to look at the ASADA rules regarding filing whereabouts to realise how serious this issue has to be taken for athletes from many sports, no doubt authorities overseas have similar rules.

Check out the story of star athlete Josh Ross, who was banned for a couple of years for not complying with the rules:-

The athlete admits it did not occur to him in his rush to update his Athlete Whereabouts before he boarded in Melbourne.
Even if he had remembered it would have mattered little.
According to Ross’ submission to a Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) appeal hearing against his provisional two-year ban last month, Athletics Australia did not provide him with an exact accommodation address upon his landing in Varcase, Italy.

There was not way to notify ASADA where exactly to find him and the fact the sports governing body could vouch for his whereabouts would count for little.
An ASADA official arrived at Ross’ Melbourne address to test him while he was travelling across the world.
The dual-Olympian received a third and final Whereabouts strike which now threatens to end a distinguished career.

Other teams have been fined for this in the past year. Not a big deal, but something we should be on top of.

Pretty sure the athlete, in this case the AFL footballer, signs contracts with the ASADA requirements clearly stated.
They are required to be available for testing 24/7.
Even I know this and I'm far from being an athlete.
The player should pay these fines.

Imagine having to provide the club with details of where you will be ALL the time. Sounds over the top to me.

Doesn't matter what you think.
Or me for that matter.
These are the responsibilities of a professional athlete.
And you think it's bad for our guys who get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. How about the female athletes who get paid a pittance yet still have to adhere to these same rules.
Our guys gave no excuses and should pay the penalty.

Or the AFL tells ASADA to F off.
Then allow the clubs/AFL to come up with our own policies relevant to the sport.
