EAGLES CLIPPED FOR NIGHTCLUB OUTING

WEST Coast has fined each of the seven players who breached club protocols to party at a Perth nightclub $5000 – half of which has been suspended – for what the club slammed as an “irresponsible and disrespectful” act.

The Eagles named all seven of the players who attended the Leederville nightspot following the club’s heavy loss to Richmond last week.

Jackson Nelson, Josh Rotham, Jake Waterman, Campbell Chesser, Rhett Bazzo, Hugh Dixon and Patrick Naish were all at the club after the Eagles’ 109-point belting.

West Coast chief executive Trevor Nisbett addressed the playing group and informed them of their penalties on Monday.

Rotham, Waterman and Naish played in the loss to Brisbane on Saturday night, but some of the players could not be considered because they had to enter the AFL’s health-and-safety protocols.

The Eagles were forced to call on Covid contingency list players to make the trip to Brisbane after only 21 AFLlisted players were fit and available.

Recruits Dixon and Naish were on Monday identified as the final two club rebels.

Naish is one of only two West Coast Eagles to have played every game this season.
