This seems like a huge over-reach with what we know so far.

How can the AFL legally impose sanctions on players attending a private event based on an anonymous complaint?

Ffs.
So said nothing wrong, did nothing wrong,
But wore some clothing in a private party that upset someone?
I’ll say it again.

Turns out the bartender was a Swans supporter.
He was offended that some players came as Swans Grand Final players.
The club tried to explain that no, they didn't - there was just some players who didn't show up.

That doesn't make sense, because the post-season event took place before the GF.
It's beyond crazy the AFL is micromanaging like this.

Tom Morris would know all about "being super offensive or harming"...

So hold up.
Players are being suspended/fined for actions in a private event that were "offensive" but no details of the alleged incident.
Sounds like a huge over reach and over reaction from AFL house here.

I just don't understand why it's coming out in such piece-meal fashion.
Drop the whole story.
I know Bartel has resigned from the board, but maybe the players were just taking his lead. Here he is arriving at a Mad Monday as the schoolgirl with ex-saint & player manager Ricky Nixon just after the scandal about his s*x life was made public.
Oh and speaking of St Kilda - at one of their mad Mondays they ACTUALLY SET A DWARF ON FIRE
If Leigh Montagna has anything to say about us, in the immortal words of Plow Wallace “I’ll spew up”

I'm sure there have been many questionable and regrettable things go on at these type of events in the past, and not-too-distant past.I know Bartel has resigned from the board, but maybe the players were just taking his lead. Here he is arriving at a Mad Monday as the schoolgirl with ex-saint & player manager Ricky Nixon just after the scandal about his s*x life was made public.

This is absolutely outrageous. There was a dress-up event, but the club cleared the players of any illegal activity. I fail to see why it’s an issue as it was a PRIVATE party limited only to the players with the public blocked off. Maybe the skits were rude but since when did it became the AFL’s business to police bad jokes/ bad dress sense? F@&$ the AFL
The incident took place at a post-season event with a dress-up theme of “celebrity couples”, and while the Giants’ own probe cleared the players of any illegal activity, the league has come down hard on those involved.

The Pies now regretting their refusal to come to Sydney for Round zero, 2025?
If the suspensions stand it could advantage the clubs handpicked to play the Giants at the start of the season.
