Richmond players Daniel Rioli and Shai Bolton were involved in an incident at a nightclub over the weekend.
An altercation took place after Rioli’s girlfriend was subjected to inappropriate behaviour.
Rioli was punched after confronting the patron and suffered a cut under his eye that required two stitches.
Bolton became involved in the ensuing altercation and sustained a fractured wrist that will require surgery. He will be sidelined for the next two to three weeks.

Richmond are aware of how the incident will be perceived but the pair won’t be sanctioned by the club. They believe the pair were defending Rioli’s girlfriend with Rioli then struck and Bolton attempting to help him. Neither under the influence of alcohol.

"We don't condone violence... but there's a lot of people who'd react the same (way)" - Hardwick.
The Tigers are backing Bolton and Rioli after their nightclub fight.

‘A lot of people would react that way’: Tigers throw full support behind nightclub fight pair
Max Laughton
Fox Sports
May 10th, 2021 8:28 pm
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick believes “anyone” would have reacted as Daniel Rioli did when he reportedly defended his partner, leading to a nightclub fight over the weekend.
The Tigers boss told Fox Footy’s AFL 360 the club fully believes Rioli and teammate Shai Bolton weren’t to blame for the incident at a Melbourne CBD nightclub.
The pair were out with their partners, celebrating a birthday, when Rioli’s girlfriend was inappropriately spoken to. The premiership Tiger stood up for her but was punched in the face, with Bolton then having his wrist broken during the ensuing scuffle.
While Hardwick was at pains to say the club didn’t condone violence, he believed Rioli was trying to “defuse” the matter and were acting as “anyone in that situation” would.
“It obviously wasn‘t ideal. I can understand the fixation on our players, but from our point of view, a player’s partner was put in an inappropriate situation that she didn’t feel comfortable with,” he told Fox Footy.
“And Daniel stood up and tried to eradicate the situation, and was punched in the eye. I don’t condone violence but the reality is, put anyone in that situation, they’re gonna stand up for their partner and their mates.
“We‘ve spoken to the players at length - we’ve gone through a thorough process. Not myself, but Tim Livingstone and Blair Hartley do a great job of that, and so we’ve got to the bottom of it.
“The evidence we’ve got, the story we have, from our point of view we back in the players. We’re disappointing it came to that situation, we don’t condone violence, but we understand these situations happen from time to time - though it doesn’t make it right.”
The Tigers pair aren’t expected to be punished after informing the club of the incident on Sunday.
Bolton went in for surgery on Monday evening and will miss between two and four weeks, while Rioli will be available to play after needing stitches on a cut under his eye.
“A player‘s partner felt uncomfortable, and was inappropriately spoken to, and Daniel took an evasive action to defuse the situation. And he gets punched in the face,” Hardwick told Fox Footy.
“That’s the situation we find ourselves in. Once again, we don’t condone violence, but we challenge anyone in that situation - there’s a lot of people who’d react the same (way).”
The triple premiership coach believes the situation was a “reminder” to players that they must be extra careful when going out because of their public profiles.
“That‘s the problem. The media will become fixated on the outcome, but the situation is the players are entitled to live a life,” Hardwick said.
“The fact of the matter is, they’re different. They’ve got to sort of, they’re really in a bubble in a way, they’ve got to be careful with where they go. And once again it’s another reminder that these situations can occur when they go out.”

I can’t do 360 and footy classified. They take themselves waaaay too seriously like they’re tenured professors and give zero Fs about actual facts and truths and are willing to speculate with zero disregard for player and coach welfare.

But how did Bolton actually break his wrist?
“By taking appropriate steps to deal with what was deemed to be inappropriate behaviour,” Gale offered.
Asked if he had fallen awkwardly after being pushed, Gale responded succinctly.
“I’m not 100% sure of that,” he added.

Brendon Gale defended the club’s reputation on Tuesday.
“We’ve got a pretty strong culture here based on care and connection and looking after each other,” he said.
“We’d prefer they (Bolton and Rioli) didn’t (intervene in an altercation), but that’s sometimes easier said than done.
“That required responding to conduct which they thought was absolutely inappropriate.
“They took the steps to address that.”

Trouble in Tigerland
The incident is another unwanted addition to the Tigers’ reputation of being a club with cultural issues following a turbulent COVID-19-plagued 2020 AFL season inside the Queensland bubble.
The conversation surrounding the club has quickly whipped up into a frenzy as debate rages about whether the club is falling from its place as the premier club in Australian football on the back of three premierships in the past four years and record memberships.
According to football journalist Damian Barrett there have been whispers across the league that rival clubs have been “rolling their eyes” at Richmond’s recent off-field scandals, including captain Trent Cotchin’s wife Brooke’s day spa quarantine breach and the ugly Gold Coast strip club brawl involving Sydney Stack and Callum Coleman-Jones, which resulted in 10-game bans for both players.
With those incidents added together and combined with the club’s slow start to the year at 4-4, commentators are questioning if we’re seeing the beginning of the end of the club’s era of dominance.
“There was a strong feeling from other footy clubs and from people around the AFL who were just rolling their eyes, saying ‘here we go again with Richmond’,” Barrett said of the club’s troubled 2020 campaign.
“Unfortunately, for those people who had those views of Richmond, the behaviours were almost validated in galvanising themselves on the back of everything that went wrong for them last year all the way to winning a third premiership in four seasons.
“That was the reaction at the time … yet again it’s Richmond.”

AFL legends dismiss ‘garbage’ Richmond whispers after nightclub fight
Footy legend Nick Riewoldt on Monday night said it was absolute baloney for commentators to try to connect all the club’s off-field misdemeanours to suggest there is a serious issue at the heart of the club or its playing group.
“There will be some people out there who want to make a link between what happened on Saturday night with Bolton and Rioli and … a crumbling of culture, of hunger of humbleness and all those sorts of things — which is complete garbage.” Riewoldt told Fox Footy’s On The Couch.
“I think it’s completely unrelated.”
The series of issues were enough evidence for footy great Gerard Healy to suggest on the Fox Footy show last night that some believe there is a “crumble” happening at Richmond.
Demons legend Garry Lyon said that view was “ignorant”.
“Given what we’ve seen here with Richmond I think it’s reasonable to ponder that the era may be coming to an end,” he said.
“And it’s just as reasonable to know that you’re going to be horribly embarrassed by them when it’s not.”

Jack wasn't on AFL360 tonight.
-----------------------------------------------------
Speaking on AFL 360 on Tuesday night, Eddie Betts and Adam Treloar were asked if they’d ever felt uncomfortable going out given their public profile and intense coverage.
“Yeah, I definitely have,” Treloar admitted.
“In fact I don’t really enjoy going out, whether it’s with mates for a beer or whatever it is after a game, or maybe on a seven-day break because you always feel like there’s eyes on you and people watching what you’re doing.
“I went out for dinner on Friday with my sister in law and she was having a couple of cocktails and I felt just awkward sitting there because I just didn’t want someone looking over me thinking that was me, having a drink two days before game which obviously I wouldn’t do.
“I think that’s the reality - we know that as players and I definitely know that having transitioned from when I was at the Giants to Collingwood where all eyes are on you and now being an established player I kind of know that eyes are always on you when you’re out so you’ve got to pick and choose what you decide to do I guess.”
Betts agreed, adding he’d enjoyed late nights out with teammates and friends early in his career, before he reached a turning point after a horror night out.
That night, in December of 2009, Betts was arrested in the early hours of a Sunday morning after he and then-teammate Mitch Robinson landed themselves in trouble after a boozy weekend boat cruise.
Betts, then 23-years-old, was issued with a $10,000 fine by Carlton - the maximum allowed under club rules at the time.
“Me and my wife sat down and we spoke about how we’d minimise putting yourself at risk in those situations,” he said on AFL 360, pointing to that night as the flashpoint.
“We kind of said nothing really good happens after 12 or 1 o’clock - when there’s alcohol involved especially - and you always get into some sort of trouble and that’s just me personally speaking on my behalf.
“I decided to make that choice ... It was really, really tough because all the players were still going out enjoying it and going home at 12 to one o’clock, but I reckon it really saved my career to be honest.”

Why Richmond aren’t punishing Bolton and Rioli
Jake Niall
The Age
May 12, 2021 — 5.00am
Richmond have chosen not to take any punitive action against Shai Bolton and Daniel Rioli for their part in a nightclub fracas that has cost the club Bolton for two or three matches at a most inconvenient time.
The Tigers’ midfield was already depleted, without Trent Cotchin, Dion Prestia and Kane Lambert for the next couple of weeks at the least. Bolton has been arguably their best-performed player this season and his absence makes their next couple of games challenging; they will still be favourites against the Giants this week, but will be distinct underdogs the following week against the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba.
They should beat Adelaide in round 11, regardless of Bolton’s availability.
That they have decided against a fine or suspension, or even a suspended fine for Rioli and Bolton, will strike many observers as lenient, or of yet another instance of a footy club reflexively standing by “our boys”.
The AFL, which could step in and punish the players, has accepted Richmond’s position.
One way to view Richmond’s judgment - and of any that a club makes on off-field incidents of this kind - is to compare it to the way the AFL assesses incidents on the field and then determines any penalty.
To form their view, Richmond relied heavily on the testimony of the two players and Rioli’s girlfriend, who was subject to what the club described as “inappropriate behaviour” by another man - both verbal and physical - which led to Rioli’s objection and, according to the club, to a punch to the forward’s face under the eye.
Bolton jumped in to help Rioli, and in doing so suffered a wrist fracture that required surgery, an outcome that is worse than any punishment the club might have meted out to the pair.
In the Tigers’ telling, this is a simple, familiar case of player sticks up for girlfriend, and teammate defends teammate.
The non-punishment rests on Richmond’s assessment of a few key factors, the after-hours equivalent to the MRO’s criteria of impact, intent and location.
The first factor was that the players, who might have had a couple of drinks, had not been intoxicated.
Second, the incident was said to have taken place just after midnight, rather than in a dangerous time slot around 2am or later. “Nothing good happens after 1am,” as the clubs often say.
Third, there’s no police involvement, nor legal repercussions - in contrast to Sydney Stack and Callum Coleman-Jones, caught kebab-handed last September by police.
Further, in the Richmond assessment, the players were not the aggressors. They were acting in self-defence.
Finally, Richmond’s position is very much influenced by their view of Rioli and Bolton as decent young men who don’t court trouble and are truthful. Since no CCTV footage has yet surfaced from the city nightclub, and no one has come forward to contradict the players’ story (which happened in the Dustin Martin “chopsticks” incident - patrons in the restaurant essentially backed Dusty), the Tigers have no reason to dispute that version.
That said, the club could have adopted the same philosophy of “strict liability” that the AFL enforces for players who choose to bump - even if they didn’t collect the player high, they are suspended if the victim is concussed or injured.
In this scenario, Richmond would say to Bolton and Rioli: “You’ve chosen to be out late, in a nightspot with alcohol in abundance, even though you weren’t peeed. Trouble has found you, and you’re liable for putting yourselves in harm’s way. So we’re fining/suspending you/putting you on notice and demanding an apology.″
The one argument against leniency that Richmond have considered but not pursued is the question of whether, in those fateful seconds after Rioli was struck, Bolton had another another choice - like the player who chooses to bump. What reasonable alternative did Bolton have?
Could Bolton have walked away from the fight? If one suspects that he had that option (what would Cotchin, Shane Edwards or Jack Riewoldt have done?) it’s harder to judge when you’re not there and have no footage.
Brendon Gale, the club chief executive, acknowledged on Tuesday that it would have been better if the pair had not been out, while adding that they had to be allowed to live their lives.
As one official from a rival club who’s dealt with many such incidents pointed out, these fracas or confrontations are common, but they only become issues if a player gets arrested or, as in Bolton’s case, hurt.
Gale was quick to say on Tuesday that this incident would have no bearing on Bolton’s contract negotiations. Once upon a time at Tigerland, the fact of Bolton being a gun player coming off contract would probably have been grounds for cynicism about a non-penalty.
Richmond aren’t that kind of club any longer.

According to the Herald Sun, fellow Richmond player Mabior Chol was also at the venue celebrating the birthday of Bolton’s partner, and so was Geelong pair Quinton Narkle and Esava Ratugolea. There is no suggestion they did anything wrong.

It’s speculative but I am actually proud of the boys for not letting some muppet off the hook for whatever happened to rioli’s girlfriend. High profile or not for me the real injustice is how the guy who instigated the whole thing is off the hook.

The instigator is off the hook because Rioli and Bolton won't press charges
The girlfriend could make a complaint too and it appears she hasn't
I've got no issue with what they did on the night but reckon they should be pressing charges
-
I think it’s strange that they aren’t pressing charges
If they are the innocent angels and victims as the story is being told, then pressing charges is a complete must
Makes zero sense ..
1- touched up Rioli’s mrs
2- belted Rioli
Yet no charges ???? Weird

Well they're indigenous - they're generally reluctant to involve the police & courts if they can help it... :shh

Dangerfield defends Rioli, Bolton, slams social media 'd***heads'
Dangerfield, the injured Geelong superstar, said players deserved to be able to enjoy themselves without being harassed.
"The challenges are, especially when you go out and you let your hair down after a stressful week, you're dealing with d***heads that pull out their phones at a nightclub and are just trying to film something on social media," Dangerfield told Melbourne radio station SEN.
"They're looking for a reaction. You're on a [hiding] to nothing as a player.
"We've got to treat our players like adults and they've got to be able to enjoy themselves but you do deal with members of the general public that are out there for nothing but trouble.
"I really sympathise with the boys because they're in a really difficult situation where something inappropriate happens to a partner, and maybe with wiser heads you might react differently but that's easy to say from the grandstand.
"It's a different thing in the heat of the moment where you're like, 'this is crap, this is inappropriate, I'm not dealing with this'."

Press charges for assault then. These cultural issues continue because they always go unpunished. Same with assaults on healthcare workers and emergency services.
Unless it's just an excuse and the boys really just got into a silly punch on and Bolton broke his wrist punching someone.

Tom Browne on 7news just now said 'eyewitnesses' have claimed Bolton and Rioli were evicted and remained outside the venue for 30 minutes trying to re-enter.
Rioli was seen arguing with security guards outside and Bolton was trying to re-enter and making remarks against the man who clashed with Rioli inside the venue.
Fight was around 1am and witnesses say it was "particularly aggressive" after the man made inappropriate gestures towards Rioli's girlfriend.
Police aren't officially investigating but they are looking at the altercation inside the venue.

There are a multitude of reasons that they may not want to lay charges including but not limited to the stress associated with Court proceedings and unwanted attention from the media and the general public. The fact that they do not want to lay charges should not be interpreted as they have done something wrong. I think Dangerfield's remarks are spot on.

AFL ‘sceptical’ of Tigers’ nightclub fight facts as new eyewitness details emerge
Tom Browne and Glenn Valencich
AAP/7NEWS
Wednesday, 12 May 2021 6:41 pm AEST
AFL officials remain sceptical of Richmond’s assessment of their players’ nightclub fight as the league’s investigation continues.
Daniel Rioli is nursing a black eye while star midfielder Shai Bolton has been sidelined with a broken wrist following an altercation with another man on the weekend.
The Tigers believe Rioli’s girlfriend Paris Lawrence was “subjected to inappropriate behaviour” before the footballer was punched in the face.
But the AFL integrity unit is still firming up what occurred, holding concern about the length of time between the fight and when league officials were first told about the incident.
League officials are understood to be sceptical on the facts, in particular Richmond’s version of events.
The Tigers chose not to sanction Rioli, who attended training on Tuesday, or Bolton.
New eyewitness accounts told to 7NEWS claim the 1am clash was particularly aggressive.
Witnesses say Rioli and Bolton remained outside the club for up to 30 minutes after they were evicted.
Witnesses claimed that Rioli argued at length with a security guard and Bolton tried to re-enter the club on multiple occasions.
It’s alleged he was heard making remarks against the man who clashed with Rioli inside.
Victoria Police is not officially investigating but they are looking into the altercation.

Interesting what Tommy is saying seems to go against what a few callers to SEN said.
The callers (the ones I heard) backed Rioli's and Bolton's version of events. One as far as to say ours players were targeted.
Only other thing I will say is the main issue here is being ignored by the media and that is the treatment of Rioli's girlfriend. She was allegedly assaulted. She was supposedly verbally abused and touched inappropriately...that is assault
She needs to make a complaint as this type of action cannot be tolerated and the lowlifes shouldn't be allowed to get away with it. Get away with it this time and they will keep doing it.

Correct. Rioli was also struck from behind- from a coward.

Exactly.
Hopefully she pressed charges.
And if she does then it adds credibility to our boys' story.
Not suggesting I don't believe them, but if she was assaulted then they should press charges because crap like that never stops unless you throw the book at the mongrels.
-
If the club were smart there are various means to which intersectionality has been applicable in this whole ordeal.
- Critical race theory of First Nations peoples and their plight amongst the racist white elite.
- respect against woman is currently high on the political agenda. This situation is just another example of the way woman are objectified by an antediluvian patriarchal system.
- the growing need to highlight Black Lives Matter amongst First Nations peoples and the necessary examination of how the racist white media reports against them always associating drunkenness and generalising antisocial behaviour amongst people of colour in this country - club should name and shame every white journalist that makes a negative comment suggesting any wrongdoing.
- The only victims in this whole ordeal are typically First Nations peoples who were only doing their duty in respect of woman to “UNMUTE” themselves by standing up to any kind of abuse of against women. It again highlights the cultural systemic racist white dominated police department that should ultimately be defunded because many First Nations peoples have been killed in custody under this racist white man dominated Australian society.
The club should have the whole AFL dressed in pink bowing their knee before games and fist clenched high to the sounds of Bob Marley. :rollin

The current advertising campaign encouraging us to 'unmute' when we see inappropriate behaviour towards women only seems to count if you are white! :thumbsdown

Shane Crawford lauds Richmond Tigers over response to nightclub brawl
"How good are the Richmond Football Club? Obviously a couple of their players get into a bit of trouble [and] most AFL clubs and sporting clubs would go, 'Do you know what? We're going to suspend you and you're out for a few weeks and we might fine you as well.' Whereas the Richmond Football Club and Damien Hardwick said, 'Nah, we love you guys, you're OK, let's just get on with it, don't get yourself in that situation ever again'," Crawford said on Today.
"I love it. I love the reaction.
"People are going, 'How dare you not fine them and suspend them', but that's just the Richmond Football Club understanding their players, knowing whether or not they did the wrong or right thing. In this case they just think they stood up for themselves.
"Let's just get on with footy."

‘They should be walking away’: AFL chief counters Richmond approach over nightclub incident
Daniel Cherny
The Age
May 13, 2021 — 12.53pm
Gillon McLachlan disagrees with part of Richmond coach Damien Hardwick’s defence of Tiger pair Daniel Rioli and Shai Bolton, suggesting that players “should be walking away” from conflict.
McLachlan, while reluctant to enter into specifics, broadly disagreed with Hardwick’s stance.
“We haven’t finished. The integrity team are doing what they do and they haven’t finished that. My view is I respect Damien’s view, but it’s different. Our players, and I ask all players, I don’t condone violence and they should be walking away. It’s difficult at times, I know that provocation exists and circumstances are always relevant but my general position is that people need to walk away and be above that,” McLachlan said.
“Let’s see where everything plays out in terms of the report and then if appropriate I would have more to say.
“I think it’s difficult to comment on stuff if it’s known that the integrity department are having a look at it.”

While I understand the point you are making and as I said I have no issue with what the guys did...
UnMute doesn't in anyway promote using violence against violence. It promotes people saying something and doing something without physical violence
I get what Gil is saying. Even Benny Gale has said he would have preferred if the players just walked away but as I think this incident has proved it isn't that easy
But will reiterate Rioli's girlfriend should be making a complaint and pressing charges. She still can and she should

Rioli: Hey mate, would you pretty please stop groping my girlfriend or talking to her in an in appropriate manner? I’m just gonna walk away because your obviously drunk.
Perpetrator: What did you say prick don’t call me a *#!?in’ I’ll #!?in smash ya!
(Punch is already thrown)
....meanwhile Bolton is seeing some drunken guy punching his mate.......

The AFL is kidding themselves. Try stopping yourself if your mrs gets groped or spoken to disrespectfully. I’d like to see what Gil would do if that happened to his mrs. :shh

I agree with the last 2 posts.
AFL need to come into the real world - which is their most precious commodities right to go out on a Sat night without any fear that they or their girlfriends are sexually or physically assaulted.
That’s the real issue and Gil is missing a trick here.

Damien Hardwick has again defended Tigers duo Shai Bolton and Daniel Rioli after AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan suggested players "should be walking away" from conflict.
Hardwick said Bolton and Rioli had addressed the club, with Richmond now ready to move on.
"We don't condone violence in any way, so don't get me wrong there, but what I will say is there are certain situations where we expect our players to make a stand," Hardwick said on Friday.
"When a young lady is being intimidated (or treated) inappropriately or whether she felt insecure, we expect our players to stand in.
"Daniel, as far as we're concerned, did the right thing.
"Do we want the violence to be part of that? Absolutely not.
"But the fact of the matter is, and I think Gill (McLachlan) is on the same page here, we just need players to make sure that people are treated respectfully."

Club Statement: May 25, 2021
Richmond – in conjunction with the AFL – has completed its investigation into a recent nightclub incident involving Daniel Rioli and Shai Bolton.
Rioli has been cleared of any wrongdoing but the investigation found Bolton had exacerbated the situation through his actions.
Bolton acknowledged his decision to become involved in the altercation was the wrong choice and that violence was never the right response.
“I’ve thought about what happened recently and what could have happened as a result of my actions,” Bolton said.
“When I saw what happened to Daniel, I acted on instinct. I now know that my instincts were wrong and that my actions could have led to a far more serious outcome.
“I want to say publicly that I made the wrong choice, and I am sorry for getting involved in the manner that I did.
“The right choice is to walk away from trouble or for me to do whatever I could to stop what was happening and not do something that could make it worse.
“Violence is never okay no matter the circumstances, and I want to share that message with everyone. The right choice is to walk away.”
Richmond CEO Brendon Gale reiterated the view the Club does not condone violence in any form.
“We encourage our players to do everything possible to de-escalate these situations and to walk away, regardless of the circumstances,” Gale said.
“Getting involved in any altercation is not okay and that is a message we will reiterate to our players.
“These can be highly volatile situations and Shai has acknowledged his mistake. We all need to learn from it.”
Richmond and Bolton will be making a donation of $20,000 to Tomorrow Man which works with boys and men to develop healthy masculinity.
The Club now considers the matter closed.

Ditto with the players, not wanting to press charges
Their collective inaction/ refusal to take the matter further is allowing this low life thug to get away with it

It's paywalled Julz. So I can't read the article either :P. Need someone to post the full article.
Eddie mentioned after Rioli's girlfriend was "manhandled", Rioli goes in, shakes hand, then turns around and get whacked. Bolton then jumps in. A "mystery hero" member of the public pulled Bolton out of it.
Caro questioned why we still don't how Bolton broke his wrist and why the individual that touched Rioli's girlfriend and then hit Dan has got away with it.
Caro also said the 20k fine is massive and she believes the AFL may have come down harder on Shai Bolton because of underlying tension between the AFL and Richmond.

10 weeks suspension and 100k for Stack and CCJ and now 20k fine for Bolton. Gilligan needs a smack in the mouth himself same as Rioli and see how he likes it.

WHAT MCLACHLAN SAID TO BOLTON AFTER NIGHTCLUB FIGHT

SEN
28 May 2021
AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan has confirmed he spoke directly to Richmond star Shai Bolton following his involvement in a nightclub fight.
Bolton and Tigers premiership teammate Daniel Rioli were involved in the brawl with the former fined $20,000 by the league.
The 22-year-old, who is nursing a fractured wrist, donated his fine to Tomorrow Man which works with boys and men to develop healthy masculinity.
McLachlan recently sat down with Bolton at AFL House to discuss his actions on the night.
“We had a good chat. Hopefully we listened to each other,” McLachlan told reporters on Thursday.
“The discussion was about his instincts and frankly I understand the instincts of young men to come in and protect friends, partners and others.
“I understand that’s been the instinct of young men for a long period of time, but I do think there’s an alternative which is to defuse, protect, but not actually in enflame.
“That’s the conversation we had.”

Gil should not be involved in this at all. The Club is responsible for player behavior and they gave them the all clear. Gil didn't like how we handled the situation so he stepped in- flog!
He needs to start behaving like the leader the game requires and fix the many internal issues the AFL have before preaching to clubs.
The AFL has a clear lack of leadership under his watch :banghead

Only two ways he could have hurt his wrist in such a situation. One hitting an object like a human or sticking your hand out to break a fall.
If it was the first one, you could assume legal advice would recommend not volunteering information that could be used against you.
But hey Parrott continue to think you are entitled to a full and detailed (and transparent) explanation.

Caro and Sam McClure just won't let this go even though it's over ::). Assuming the CCTV vision showed Bolton did something contrary to what he told the Club because of the AFL imposed $20k donation.

Rioli’s girlfriend breaks silence on bar brawl
Paris Lawrence has broken her silence on the nightclub brawl involving her AFL star boyfriend Daniel Rioli and his Tigers teammate Shai Bolton that occurred back in May.
The DJ and TikTok star, 22, told the Herald Sun on Friday that the couple have 'moved past' the incident now.
'Things happen and sometimes you can't help the situations you're put into,' the social media star said.
'The important thing is, Daniel and I have each other's backs, and we support each other,' she said of her 24-year-old Tigers star beau.
Paris added: 'It is what it is. But it's all good now. We've moved past that. We didn't listen to the news, social media or anything online. We knew what happened'.
