Pies star found ‘half naked’ as Bucks says midfielder is ‘embarrassed’ after boozy COVID breach
Link and full story
Collingwood star Steele Sidebottom was found half-naked in Williamstown before being taken home by police officers.
According to a witness who spoke with the Herald Sun, Sidebottom appeared naked and wanted to return home because it was “cold and freezing”.
The witness said: “I was there, I was visiting my mate and he looked naked and the coppers knew him straight away.’’
Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley says star midfielder Steele Sidebottom is “embarrassed” about his AFL COVID-19 protocols breach yet remains “confused” over what went down after he was dropped off at club employee Daniel Wells’ place.
The star midfielder broke league rules after returning to Melbourne on Saturday following the club’s loss to the Giants the night before. He visited injured teammate Jeremy Howe — fellow Pie Lynden Dunn also made an appearance — before catching an Uber and spending most of the night at Wells’ house.
Surely he loses vice captaincy

He's earned a month's holiday - seems about on par with Hunter's shenanigans.
He's arguably more critical to them than even Hunter is to us, Bucks will be thrilled.

I reckon getting on the piss and wrecking four or five cars, fleeing the scene and continuing to piss on is a fair bit worse...…..

Although it is Collingwood where the full extent of any player misdemeanour will only come out in later washes, putting more egg on Ed's and Buck's faces for the viewing pleasure of opposing fans.
The AFL has probably just added a week or two for probable contingency.

Can't disagree, which may explain this cruel and unusual element of Lachie's penance.

Agreed 100%. If Hunter is worth 4 weeks, Sidebottom is incredibly stiff to cop the same.

I can still remember it being a blue collar wharfie Painter's and Dockers (not the band although one member lives in Willy these days). In 1973 my parent's had the choice between buying a beachfront house in Nelson place or a house in Yarraville. They went for the house in Yarraville (the place in Willy was next to a block of flats) and I never forgave them for it. The house in Yarraville is now worth a million plus but the one in Willy was across the road from the freaking beach! And is probably worth just as much. More actually.

I'd say that he was, yeah.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Both Yarraville and Williamstown I think the average prices there are $1 million now.

Steele Sidebottom was found half-naked
I cannot unsee that. Yuck.
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

I'm just speculating but maybe Steele has made a "friend" while he was out socialising and gone back to hers? Then perhaps her partner/husband/boyfriend has returned home necessitating Steele's swift egress out of a window and into the street without the opportunity to put his clothes back on?
Williamstown can be a wild place. I woke up face down on Willy beach after my high school graduation. Still can't remember how I got there. The last place I remember being was at a disco in Footscray.

It's actively gentrifying but there are still lots of pubs that you need to mind your own business in. Most of the boat building dry docks have gone, as have the wharves and the Naval Dockyard a where they built frigates but lots of blue singlet wearing wharfies still live locally.
Clive Palmer (who remains a bulldog supporter) grew up in and got his start in business in Williamstown. He still owns (I think) a Titanic themed theatre restaurant right down the end of the retail strip. If you can picture a pub with a scale model of half of the Titanic sticking out the front then you get the local vibe.
And I haven't even started on the local VFL club. Or the fact that Joan Kirner and Steve Bracks were the local members of state parliament for 25+ years between them.
