It's paywalled Julz. So I can't read the article either  . 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.

Sort of like the VFL...

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

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
