Yep, it’s commendable that are players are supporting each other. While calling a club employee may have been a better option an Uber is still much better than drink driving.
Rules are rules though and with the seriousness of this virus and the need for the AFL to be seen to doing the right thing I can’t see anyway they avoid an 1 week suspension.

Pretty dumb **** up really - and could really cost us come Friday night.
According to AFL 360 Dunn and Sidebottom went to Howe’s to visit him after his injury they’d been drinking and their arranged lift fell through so they caught an Uber (breach #1). Dunn apparently went home and Sidebottom went on to visit Daniel wells who is an employee of Collingwood but not in the Collingwood ”bubble” (breach #2).

Absolutely, the AFL's got a job to do, i fully expect them to cop a week at least.
But if a mate of mine copped an injury like that in a season like this, I'd be going over to have a beer with him too (in a group of less than 5 of course).
He’s a drunk,I wouldn’t take any notice of what he’s got to say.
He’s a moron. I think Gerard reflected a more accurate view. They broke the rules which will cost them a suspension (and so it should) but it’s doesn’t warrant Slobbo’s sentiment.

We lost Howe for the season and then we break the rules to visit him.
I’m lost for words!
The entire season is hanging by a thread. Games are being rescheduled, the club is leaving Victoria and moving for a few weeks to W.A to eek out some games.
How could they have been so dumb?

Predictable from that bias, hypocritical flog. Zero respect for his opinion

Perhaps he’s annoyed at not being invited to get on the beers?
He said over the top of Whately a few times "there was alcohol involved," I'm pretty sure they're allowed to have a beer Slobbo!

Agreed. I'm sure you would arrange a means of travel permitted by the rules though
He definitely meets the criteria
Nah that's not me. Why, because we both call him Slobbo?

Given what's at stake and Sidey's position within the club this is an inexcusable breach for such a senior player.
There's a bigger picture here with other states deciding on whether they'll let us in or not and mistakes like this aren't exactly going to endear us with the leadership in states where the AFL is busting it's arse negotiating to send teams over to keep the season alive, based on their proclamation that players will abide by the restrictions (and higher standards) that have been set.
Really, really stupid, irrespective of whether he thought he was doing "the team thing" or not.
