Does anyone know about the AFLs "Code of Conduct?' What does it mean?

Question

I am aware that it mainly refers to Melbourne based clubs as other state based teams are generally well behaved.

Answer 1

The problem with all football players who play at a high level in Australia is that they are paid too much money and have too much free time on their hands to get into trouble.

A friend of mine, who was a former first grade NRLplayer, once told me that all the Canberra Raiders would thrash my son on the Playstation - because that it was they do for most of the day.

The AFLhas tried to address the situation with a code of conduct and other measures. The Rugby League administration have said their players can't read so there is no point having any code.

Answer 2

What you Telling me that the West Coast Eagles are well behaved, and the Fremantle Dockers, all 10 vic teams are better behaved then the 2 WA teams

Answer 3

The AFL wrote up a Code of Conduct in an endeavour to have the Melbourne based clubs act in a better manner. Too many off-field incident (mainly by Collingwood) players were giving th AFL a bad name.

It sets out how footballers should behave off the field.

Answer 4

It was a behavioural list drawn up by the AFL to try and bring some players into line while off duty.

Mainly Collingwood players, but some other Melbourne based players as well.
