The premiership has been won and our players are on a well-earned break.
Which only means one thing…. welcome to inappropriate-AFL-player-video-footage season!
Our eyes are still burning and only just recovering from that Google Drive of AFL dikileaks.
So hmmm. Where to start?
Let’s park the really NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content for later and move straight to the Melbourne Football Club who must be thinking twice about coach Simon Goodwin’s best and fairest speech about a “strong culture”.
Anyone who knows a Demons fan will know all they want to talk about is ‘what’s the go with Clayton Oliver?’ Things went from bad to worse when the embattled premiership player was found at a Footscray hospital recovering from a head injury.
Tales of Oliver’s partying ways have been gaining momentum all season, with many an anecdote including his apparent favoured party trick of taking a golf club to a table tennis table.
Nek minnit, a video lobs into our inbox of Oliver taking a ping pong racquet to a wall at a party all while grinning goofily at the camera. Off chops comes to mind and we don’t mean lamb chops.
While Oliver isn’t doing anything wrong - c’mon who hasn’t worn undies on your head kicking in a wall - it isn’t exactly the best timing for such video footage surfacing after what Melbourne referred to as his troubling “off field behaviour” and now that pesky Joel Smith Sports Integrity Australia positive drug test.
Over to our premiers and Collingwood’s CEO Craig “Ned” Kelly hit out at “false accusations” surrounding his players regarding another video going viral in the footy community.
There is explicit and then there is really explicit. This one, which started circulating after the Grand Final in what looked to be a disabled toilet, was firmly in the latter.
“The club wishes to address the matter to make clear both these allegations are completely untrue and the video being circulated does NOT involve any current or former Collingwood players or their partners,” Kelly said in a statement.
Regardless, whoever was in the video certainly didn’t seem to have any knee issues from the position Page 13 saw.
