13 GWS Giants Players Sanctioned After Party Incident

The AFL has sanctioned 13 current and former GWS Giants players following inappropriate behavior at a post-season function with a 'celebrity couples' theme. Josh Fahey received a four-match suspension, while five others, including Jake Riccardi and Toby McMullin, were given two-match bans. Several players, such as Toby Greene and Lachie Whitfield, were fined $5,000 for failing to uphold club values. The incidents involved distasteful costumes and skits, which led to an AFL investigation prompted by an anonymous complaint. The Giants have conducted their internal review but found no illegal activity. The club and the AFL have taken these matters seriously to uphold standards of respect and inclusion.
