Multiple Richmond players hospitalised with illness after end-of-season footy trip

An ill-fated trip to Thailand has seen a number of Tigers players require serious medical attention.

[Thechook]

coach Adem Yze has revealed a number of his players spent time in hospital after getting sick during their footy trip to Thailand.

A group of Tigers players went to Thailand for their end-of-season celebrations in recent weeks, but an illness that spread appears to have soured them somewhat.

Yze himself wasn’t feeling 100 per cent at the club’s best and fairest presentation on Tuesday night, but said he wasn’t as bad as some of the players who went overseas.

 

Before I get started, I just wanted to highlight the fact that I’m not trying to put on a sexy voice — I’m a little bit crook at the moment,” Yze said as he opened his speech.

“But not as crook as I hear a few of our players got in Thailand — I’m looking at you, Ben Miller.

“A few of the boys have been in hospital and things like that.

“So, it’s been not only a tough season, but a tough off-season so far.

“But to their credit, they came back a little bit lighter. Nick Vlastuin was adamant he came back four or five kilos lighter, which is unusual when you come back from a footy trip, so well done.”

Does anyone here watch the AFL live free at home. I've tried everything and I still can't find a link.

The GWS boys misbaved on their mad Monday. A little costly for some,

Bad optics, Yarda, Yarda…

One thing I do know is the Giants won’t be booking that venue again !

What ever happened to protecting the privacy of your guests ?

Also interesting to see most of the players suspended were fringe players.

 

The good ones got fines.......

Interesting pick ups for North.

The key point being 3 ex premiership players.

I think the last decent recruit we got was Jarryd Waite from Carlton so looking forward to what these guys can do.

I think all 3 will be good for you FJ.

 

Then you have pick 2, although word on the Soi is that Richmond want to trade you for it.

 

Think WC overcommitted for Baker TBH.

Really disappointed we split pick 3.

Strange timing to say the least.

 

Imagine Cox would have the inside running.

Wonder if the Swans would give Simmo a call.

As much as i disagree with AFLW.

It may just keep my club alive a little longer after bringing home the bacon.
