Apparently, the Club has had to release a public statement explaining it.

This week in the media - Richmond player pretends to be a waiter!  Tune in for full coverage of our no-holds-barred, hard-hitting opinionated journalistic garbage with none to very few actual facts thrown in!  The whole thing is being looked at by the AFL tribunal after we dobbed him in, charges expected.  25 years to life we predict.  A few Toad fish faces from Eddie (this is my serious face   :-\  ) to follow the victim impact statement (from some sheila we just rang up) & we could have a public hanging!      >:(       
Once a Tiger, always a Tiger!  Loud, proud & dangerous!

An ABC "journo" from Grandstand tweeted about it the "weird" gesture

He tagged Benny Gale in the tweet asking what did it mean? Please explain? Is it a good look? Blah, blah...

Club responded

Whatever

 ::) ::)

*** correction, the ABC bloke doesn't call himself a journo but a sports commentator and he is from Perth.

Whatever  ::)

Why don’t we just ban the camera in the rooms after the game?

this level of scrutiny is beyond a joke.  :facepalm

He claims he was simulating pouring champagne. It looks like he's injecting his arm. It is truly bizarre looking.Dimma should run the riot act through him so he doesn't do anything else stupid in the rooms while the cameras are on.

What exactly did he do that was stupid? A joke amongst the playing group is fine. Media need to get a life me thinks :shh

It's just it looks like a drug go reference, he's had enough media attention.we don't need him getting suspended when he starts doing nazi salutes just before the finals or something else
