AFL hands one-game ban to Port Adelaide forward Player will miss Saturday night’s Showdown in Adelaide
Willie Rioli has made himself unavailable for Port Adelaide’s Showdown with the Crows, calling his threatening message to an opponent “unacceptable”. The Power forward will sit out Saturday night’s blockbuster at Adelaide Oval, telling the club on Thursday he was mentally in no position to play.
The AFL later released a statement, saying they were suspending Rioli for one game and requiring him to participate in “education on respectful/non-violent language and conduct”.
