Richmond premiership players Nick Vlastuin and Jayden Short have been forced to apologise amid allegations the two players had groped a teammate.

Tigers coach Damien Hardwick was questioned by Network Ten senior reporter Hugh Riminton on Friday about two recent post-match incidents in the Tigers' dressing room, after wins over the Western Bulldogs and Brisbane Lions.It was alleged defender Vlastuin groped the Sudanese-born Mabior Chol after the Lions match at Metricon Stadium, with Chol, according to Riminton, reacting in a manner that "plainly indicates he wasn't expecting such an action".

When questioned during his press conference, ahead of Saturday's blockbuster clash against Port Adelaide, Hardwick said he did not have any knowledge of the incidents. In a later statement, the Tigers said they had "become aware of some player behaviour during post-match team songs recently that is unacceptable and not in line with the club or community expectations".

Headline should have been - Groping Tiger Feels Hidden Dragon

Let's be real. This is not unique to Richmond. This is not unique to Aussie rules. It IS however, unique to mens footy. Never seen it in mixed or womens locker rooms.This kind of shit leaves only one avenue for those that speak out or condemn the behaviour.. exit the club.

They need to grow up and behave like adults whether the cameras are there or not.

It’s a good thing the cameras don’t go into the showers - if this is what happens during the team song .....

If they are gay that’s fine but it doesn’t mean they can grope as they please .

FFS this sport is a non essential service. For FFS let’s have some perspective on what we are all going through. It’s on the fucking news non stop. What the F is important here ! I shake my head.

Just saying

Remember when there was a newspaper in Melbourne that people used to buy called the Age? AFL

Ugh.

Not sure how groping anyone or sticking a finger up anyone’s rear end adds to team spirit, player morale or acts to improve a players skill on the field. In fact it’s totally pointless.

Forced?

This country has gone mad.

And wash their hands!

Get the fuck over it theres a pandemic and dickheads in the goverment we have to deal with rather then footy lads touching someones dick

And these players are supposed to be role models in society.. Where is the AFL integrity unit

Short n curly

Fair suck of the sauce bottle Hugh

How ridiculous. All the players were doing it to each other. Just ban cameras from the tunnel & the change rooms.

C’mon throw the race card already

Waiting on Goodes apology...

Lol you gotta be kidding me

Forced to apologise? Gee, a ‘forced’ apology is just SO sincere. Stupid oafs.
