AFL star Jordan De Goey has been slapped with a $25,000 suspended fine by Collingwood and has apologised for his “disrespectful” conduct while partying in Bali.
Footage emerged on social media last week of De Goey, who was given permission by the club to travel to Bali on his mid-season break, making crude gestures while at a nightclub.
“I had worked hard this year to establish trust and confidence in me to make better decisions and through no one’s fault but my own, I have undone that trust,” De Goey said in a statement.
Collingwood chief executive Mark Anderson said the club was extremely disappointed.
“Our club’s very strong position is that disrespect towards women, in any form, is never acceptable and we strongly condemn it,” Anderson said in a statement.
“Jordan’s actions shown in the vision shared on social media are actions we do not accept as a football club, and we are extremely disappointed to see him put himself in this position.
“We have spoken to Jordan at length, and he understands the seriousness of the situation.”
