Quote:Another AFL player is in trouble for drinking after playing last weekend.
Port Adelaide announced on Tuesday they had fined Hamish Hartlett $2,500, with another $2,500 suspended, after he caught up with friends following Sunday's 79-point loss to Geelong.
It comes a day after Melbourne onballer Brent Moloney lost his vice-captaincy for an alcohol-related incident early on Monday morning.
Moloney was asked to leave a St Kilda nightclub for being too drunk and he has admitted to a binge drinking problem when he consumes alcohol.
The Power said it had fined Hartlett because he had not met the team's uncompromising standards.
"Hamish went out for a few drinks with friends on Sunday night, after returning to Adelaide following the game against Geelong," Port football manager Peter Rohde said in a statement.
"It was a quiet catch-up with mates, but a player's recovery must come first and his actions were outside of the standards the playing group itself has set."
Sunday was Hartlett's first AFL game back from injury.
Oh dear god....he had a few quiet drinks with friends on a weeekend. hang him! HANG HIIIIIM!!!!!!!
so it looks like you dont have any standards then wes... when someone is told not to drink and they sign a declaration saying they wont dronk.... most people especially those that pay them expect them to stand by what they signed..
however according to you thats to rough.. the poor didums can have a drink or three whats wrong with that???
the club he plays for has rules...if they are too hard dont join the club..
n o one forces anyone to drink.. they do it all by themselves..in most cases... aka Carney they then get behind the wheel of a car and drive..
its just rules wes just rules.. if we dont have rules in our society where would we all be..
and if we let our "heros" break all the rules in the book...well you will be the only one I would think giving them a slap on the back..
