Sugar in strife doing a Fev / Out of North game plus $5,000 fine

[Fishfinger]

what is even as disappointing some of our guys were really on juice over the weekend, maybe the "pact" was withdrawn for the long weekend.

interesting that if they cant keep a "pact" how can they adhere to team structures.

Who is "they"?
I've only seen Johnson's name mentioned up to now.

[mightytiges]

they think they're better than everyone else mate.
its nothing new.
They get on the pee and get reated like royalty
and are so stupid they believe it.

Sadly true for many of them (role models hardly lol) although I've never heard a bad word said about Richo.

its important we kill this story straight away by having Kane front the media tomorrow, suspend or whatever has to be done so we can get onto the next round.

very disappointing, he has let his teammates down and the RFC, as leader he needs to setting the example unfortunately this isnt the right way of going about it.

Sugar should be condemned as it's his own stupid fault but the media wolves would have had a field day bagging the whole club down to the bootstudder if it happened last week or had we lost.

This is going to knock Melbourne losing by over 100 points off the front and back pages  .

Tigers' Johnson arrested over drunken incident
Posted 23 minutes ago

 Victorian police have charged Richmond captain Kane Johnson with urinating in public, a week after Carlton forward Brendan Fevola was sanctioned by his club for the same offence.

Police allege Johnson urinated on a window outside the St Kilda Road Police Complex about 2.00 am AEDT on Sunday.

Johnson has also been charged with being drunk in a public place and offensive behaviour, and is scheduled to appear in court next month.

Fevola was fined $10,000 by the Blues and dropped from the club's leadership group.

Self imposed suspension - will miss the North game. Fined by the club $5,000.


Police complex is next door to his home. Was having his 30th birthday party. Deeply regrets his actions and said facing up to his teammates at training will be the hardest thing he'll ever have to do. Has suspended himself according to the club. Takes full responsible. Accepts the $5,000 fine from the club. Plans to reflect on his actions and educate kids of poor behaviour like this. Miller said it's completely out of character and an aberation.

Press conference tomorrow. Training at 9am.

Probably on a contract of say $350,000 a year, $5,000 is a drop in the ocean or a pee in a park

[Ramps]

for mine

its a $10,000 maximum fine
2 weeks suspension and the
loss of the captaincy to either Richardson or Simmonds

any less and we arent serious as a club

peeing up against the police building ffs. 

[Ramps]

club should add 1 more game on the suspension + another 5 grand to the fine atleast. I also favor the loss of the captaincy.

[mightytiges]

True Jack but what's the maximum fine the club can impose under the AFLPA's  EBA. It's only $5k or 10k?

The only player I remember getting a bigger fine than $10k was Morrison at Collingwood ($50k) and the Pies had to get special permission from the AFLPA.

[Ramps]

club cant allow a player to dictate there own penalty its farcical. the club needs to add to the self imposed penalty. Doubling the penalty in cash and games suspension is justified.

[WilliamPowell]

True Jack but what's the maximum fine the club can impose under the AFLPA's  EBA. It's only $5k or 10k?

It's $10k

[WilliamPowell]

Actually the most important thing Knae Johnson must do tomorrow is attend the press conference.

No sneaking in back doors etc like Fev - be a man and face the music, the media and supporters. I see a good crowd being at training tomorrow

[bluey_21]

No talk about the captaincy MT?

[Ramps]

Well thats one decent change for next week - Johnson (Out) Edwards (In) hopefully. Put Edwards up forward and Deledio back into the midfield.

It's $10k

I'm pretty sure it's $5000
