Greater Western Sydney star midfielder Josh Kelly has listed a multimillion-dollar house in a seaside Sydney suburb just days after picking up the keys for $200,000 more than the asking price.

looks like the penny has just dropped that the grandfather offer he knocked back is well gone.

So now Sidebottom was drunk and naked. Anyone else able to do that and not be fined? I suspect a Police review coming up.

Drunk and naked, not to worry, a minor matter. Can't wait to see Mr. Millionaire Hot Seat spin this!

He has backed himself into a corner after his Jack Stevens comments, has Ol' Ed. I'm expecting Steele to face the media and open himself up to all questions.

Fair enough.

The star Magpie doesn't have a clear recollection of breaching the AFL's COVID-19 protocols at the weekend because he drank too much alcohol.

WA Premier Mark McGowan has warned players from interstate teams will be kicked out of the state if they breach quarantine conditions while participating in an AFL hub in Perth.

Key points:

• Collingwood and Geelong will enter the Perth hub in a fortnight
• They must comply with strict quarantine conditions for 14 days
• The WA Police Commissioner says the rules will be "rigorously enforced"

A number of AFL players, including Collingwood's Steele Sidebottom, have found themselves at the centre of recent breaches of AFL coronavirus protocols.

Mr McGowan said anyone breaching WA's quarantine conditions when games begin at Perth Stadium in just over a fortnight would also face prosecution and a $50,000 fine.

Probably just thirsty!

Eddie's no idiot. He'll go into full "we're angrier than you" mode on Classified tonight. Anything else would be laughable.

Exactly - 4 weeks is a heavy hit - seems about right.

What? Eddie will do a Clarko? I expect him to admit to his boys being a bit naughty, but they need support from the club and the football world so everybody gather round and sing some camp fire songs so all will be OK.

Nah, it's all bluff and bluster. Here's their statement.

COLLINGWOOD STATEMENT: Collingwood vice-captain Steele Sidebottom and defender Lynden Dunn have been suspended for breaches of the AFL’s return to play protocols.

Sidebottom will be unavailable for selection for the next four matches and Dunn unavailable for selection for this week’s match against Essendon.

Sidebottom and Dunn shared an Uber on Saturday evening and Sidebottom later visited a member of staff who is not living under the game’s protocols.

The breaches were self-reported to the club on Sunday morning and to the AFL on Sunday afternoon. The players were interviewed by the AFL on Monday.

It is acknowledged that both have excellent disciplinary records established over long and distinguished careers.

Dunn has returned to the Holden Centre and will be available to play in Collingwood’s practice session against Essendon on Saturday if cleared by a second COVID-19 test today.

Sidebottom is expected to return to the program next week if cleared to do so by COVID-19 testing.

Collingwood and Sidebottom share the view that his four-match ban is excessive, inconsistent with recent protocol breaches and contestable.

However, club and player concluded that for the greater good of the game and the realities of our time it was necessary to end the matter.

“To his credit, Steele considered what was in the best interests of the code and Collingwood,” Collingwood GM of Football, Geoff Walsh, said of a potential appeal.

“Firstly, he accepts that he made some poor decisions but he also feels it is the right thing to accept the punishment, a greater punishment than most believe is fair, to avoid a distraction that could create difficulties for the competition and his team-mates. That’s the sort of person Steele is.

“As a club, we considered all options but our disappointment over Steele’s suspension is no greater than it is over the fact that two senior players breached the return to play protocols.

“Everyone knows Steele and Lynden started out with the best of intentions, to console an injured team-mate, but our players and staff have been well educated on the protocols and we take our social responsibilities seriously.

“We respect the privilege we have to play and the conditions under which we must live in order to play.

“As a code and as a community we have to remain vigilant and disciplined. This episode and the circumstances out in the wider community reinforce the need to minimise the risk of transmission.”

" Kumbaya my Lord, Kumbaya.....

Steele did nothing wrong, kumbaya,
Did the right thing, kumbaya.
Copped it on the chin, kumbaya,
And Eddie is proud of him, Kunbaya.
Oh! Lord, kumbaya.

Good to see how Buckley and McGuire have changed the "culture" at Collingwood.

Woe is us it's so unfair. But we'll accept it so people will stop asking those pesky questions!

 

[Go_Roos!]

For goodness sake Steele, put your clothes back on, Steele? Steele? Wake up Steele

So Sidebottom visits Daniel Wells and misses 4 games. Wells' contribution to Collingwood down to 11 games.

Saw a clip of Eddy, say what you want about him but he always does the best for his club and his players. They must love him. Very loyal.

I look forward to his OAM in the New Years Honours for services to sport.

Found (at least) partially naked wandering the street drunk at 7 in the morning...

Raises more than a few questions. I skimmed some stuff early, are they really claiming he got smashed at Wellsy's place that whole time? Because if so I find that incredibly implausible and can't help but wonder if he was actually somewhere else but Wells lives nearby and was a good excuse to use.

Maybe Wells is more liberal minded. Car keys in the bowel type set up

meant bowl but this still works
