Club should take 20k off both of them for the next 5 years of contracts and give it to whatever staff member cops the job loss
40k for the next 5 years for them

The facts are what these two did last night is very minor relative to what a lot of footballers have done in the past and were given a slap on the wrist. Andrew Gaff broke a kids jaw and was given 8 weeks. Obviously a different type of incident but this wreaks of another overreaction to Covid.

At this time in the season, with multiple breaches punished already, why did you think they would go lightly on them?
 
Well it’s up to CCJ and Stack now how they bounce back from this. I hope the club gives them all the support they need because the boys are going to be very upset.
 
All the hard work the club and supporters have put in to make the club financially successful and these two blokes have just pissed away 100k from the soft cap because they wanted a night out. They got everything they deserved.
 
The soft cap is so called because you can pay over it but you get taxed on whatever you go over. If you had the cash you could stay at the 9m instead of the decrease 6+m next year.

The penalty is both fair but still brutal in the fact that players from other clubs that breached haven’t been treated the same (except Sydney). It sucks we’re now down 2 more now but if we win the grand final they will only miss 5 rounds next year. Both are still contracted so they have time to earn back the trust of the group.

Here here, everyone has gone crazy due to covid. Think about it realistically people. These guys got A 10 game ban for getting an inner and defending themselves.

I'm sure colonwood players were fined less for drink driving

So you can go for a surf or hit of golf or grab a coffee from outside the hub and it does not put the competition at risk but catching an Uber can

we embarrassed them at the tribunal its pay back by AFL , plus the QLD premier got on board to try take her **** ups away from her and say 'oh look over there ". Should have been suspended next 3 games and thats it.
 
This is a hatchet job on our club by the AFL. No one else got 10 weeks. They were just defending themselves against an assault from a drunken fat slob. The AFL is out to get us. Theres no doubt about that.

This is what i don't get, why is the premier cracking the shits when they players have already done there 14 day iso weeks ago , how did they put people living in QLD's at risk ? so does that mean zero people in the AFL hub cant walk into a restaurant for dinner /lunch/ drink etc ?
 
10w is a massive penalty , so don’t anyone kid themselves they got off lightly , it’s basically half a season , they deserve it though , don’t get me wrong. Is a long way back for both of them , might be the kick up the arse SS needs,he’s been dreadful this year , plays with none of the bravado that typified his game last year
 
Club Statement: Stack and Coleman-Jones AFL protocol breach
Richmond players Sydney Stack and Callum Coleman-Jones have been suspended for 10 matches, and will be sent home from Queensland, following a breach of the AFL’s COVID-19 protocols.

Richmond players Sydney Stack and Callum Coleman-Jones have been suspended for 10 matches, and will be sent home from Queensland, following a breach of the AFL’s COVID-19 protocols.
The AFL has also imposed a fine of $75,000 for the protocol breach, which the two players will pay. The Club will also pay a $25,000 fine that was suspended from a protocol breach earlier in the season.
Stack, 20, and Coleman-Jones, 21, were intoxicated and broke protocols by catching an Uber from the Club’s Gold Coast hub and attending a venue in Surfers Paradise early on Friday morning. These actions contravene AFL COVID-19 protocols. The AFL was made aware of the breach as soon as it was discovered on Friday morning.
With a three-day break in their training program, the players had been drinking alcohol at a Club and AFL-sanctioned event at the hub. The pair chose to continue drinking at the completion of the function in their rooms before going out and attending a venue.
The players were subsequently involved in an altercation outside a Surfers Paradise take-away food outlet. Coleman-Jones sustained minor facial injuries and was treated in hospital. Stack was taken into custody by Queensland Police, but no charges were laid.
Both players returned to the Club separately, and since the Club was made aware of the breach, the players have been quarantining separately in their rooms.
Richmond CEO, Brendon Gale said he was incredibly disappointed in the pair.
“Richmond – like all Clubs - has a responsibility to the game, and the broader AFL community, to observe the COVID-19 protocols that the AFL has put in place. Clearly Callum and Sydney did not meet that responsibility this week, and we are incredibly disappointed,” Gale said.
“The Club can’t ignore the fact that off-field we have got some things wrong in recent months. We need to own that as a Club and get better. We all accept that this has been a difficult year, but it is no excuse for some of the mistakes we have made.
“These players made very poor decisions after consuming too much alcohol, choosing to leave the Club’s hub in the early hours of Friday morning, and in doing so potentially putting themselves, their teammates and the AFL season at risk.
“Their decision to attend a venue while outside the hub was also completely unacceptable, and in no way aligns with what we stand for as a Club. They have let down themselves, teammates, our members and supporters, our partners and the entire AFL industry.
“Yes, young people can make mistakes, but we expect better. There is absolutely no excuse for what took place. We do however recognise we need to support and educate them. They have learned a very hard lesson and we need to help them earn back the trust and respect of the Club.
“Both players are extremely remorseful and apologise for their actions. That apology extends to the Queensland Government and Police who have far more significant matters to attend to in these difficult times.
“We are a strong, successful Club and we will work hard to deliver a Club that meets community expectations and makes our members and supporters proud.”
