Jordan De Goey's Bali nightclub antics
AFL: Jordan De Goey headed to Bali during Collingwood's mid-season break, enjoying himself at the popular holiday destination.
Jordan De Goey has opened up about his struggles following another alcohol-fuelled overseas bender.
The Collingwood star, who last year was arrested in New York after a bar fight, was featured in a video making crude gestures and attempting to grab a woman’s breast inside a Bali nightclub this week.
De Goey released a statement on Instagram on Saturday afternoon thanking his friends and family for supporting him as the fall-out from his Bali bender continued.
“I want to take the opportunity to thank my family, friends and supporters who have checked in or sent messages of support in the past 24 hours,” he posted.
In an attempt to turn the narrative away from his tequila swilling nightclub antics, De Goey posted a plea for support on Instagram.
“I want to openly address the relentless pursuit and persecution of athletes by the media to create an uneducated, bias and ill-informed narrative that has gone too far.
“I am one of the lucky ones with amazing support, however not all athletes are so lucky.
“This will end in tragedy if no one speaks up. It’s time for change. #enoughisenough”
Collingwood was unaware De Goey was going to make a statement given they are remaining tight-lipped until he returns home on Sunday.
The Pies are planning to meet with him on Monday before making a statement. At this stage the AFL is leaving it to Collingwood to handle the matter.
The woman at the centre of the Jordan De Goey Bali video has spoken out.
De Goey has told friends he has been cleared of any wrongdoing after his Bali bender.
The Collingwood star was lying low on the Indonesian party island on Saturday as the fall-out from his latest alcohol-fuelled nightclub incident continued back home.
“He says he’s been given the all clear by the AFL and Collingwood, everything’s all fine,” one associate said.
De Goey was filmed partying with an Aussie blonde and a friend at Motel Mexicola in Seminyak, dancing and downing alcoholic throwbacks.
The video, which also showed the Pies star attempting to expose the woman’s breast, has since been deleted.
Collingwood released a short statement saying they were aware of the video and weren’t “in a position” to comment yet.
The AFL is closely monitoring the situation.
On Saturday, Remy Jackson, one of the women who featured in the video, posted to Instagram a message of support to De Goey.
“Hey everyone, I can’t believe the backlash towards Jordy & Myself over here in Bali … nothing to see here”, the 25-year-old, who has over 15,000 followers, posted.

De Goey is expected to fly back to Melbourne on Sunday with the Pies resuming training after their mid-season break on Monday.
The latest controversy follows his off-season incident in New York where he was arrested by police.
Collingwood has surged on field with four consecutive victories, with De Goey playing a leading role.
But now his off-field antics have, again, muddied the waters for the off-contract star.

Whatever imbecile wrote this should be put in stocks and pelted with rotten fruit.
