UPDATE: COLLINGWOOD president Eddie McGuire has labelled star players Dane Swan and Travis Cloke “idiots” after explicit videos, photos and texts they sent on social media were leaked to the media.
According to a report in Woman’s Day, Swan sent a graphic video, sexually-charged texts and full-frontal nude pictures while Cloke sent a video and nude pictures including an image of himself performing a sex act.
It is unclear when the photos and videos were taken. The magazine claims that the photos were sent to two women who wanted to remain anonymous.
The AFL’s social media policy, which includes SMS and instant messaging, states the league is likely to view “accessing, downloading or transmitting any kind of sexually explicit material” as inappropriate.
“It would seem that somebody’s sucked these idiots into sending out photos and as a result they’ve got them and sold them to the media,” McGuire told Triple M today.
“Apparently they (the women) were offering them up to the TV stations who passed.”
McGuire said he didn’t believe it was a scandal for the club.
“It’s got nothing to do with Collingwood, ring their managers and the players’ association,” he said.
Collingwood later released a statement, saying it wasn’t taking the matter any further.
“The club is aware three currently listed players were involved in consensual exchanges of messages and pictures via Instagram,” the club said in a tweet.
“The exchanges have been on sale to media outlets for some time and as a result have been obtained and published by a media publication.
“At this point, the club will not take any action as it considers this a private matter for the players.”
McGuire agreed the images and videos appeared to contravene the AFL’s social media policy.
“Good to know Swanny’s got some room for some more tatts,” he joked.
Cloke, 28, is engaged to Rebeccah Panozza while Swan, 31, has been in a relationship with Taylor Wilson for eight years.
The Herald Sun is seeking comment from the AFL and the players.
