Hawthorn’s recent victory over Greater Western Sydney has come with a financial sting for players Jai Newcombe and Jack Ginnivan. In addition, West Coast’s Elliot Yeo faces a penalty for his on-field actions.
Jai Newcombe has been handed a substantial $10,000 fine for rough conduct, marking his third offense this season. The incident involved GWS’s Jesse Hogan during Saturday’s match. However, if Newcombe submits an early guilty plea, his fine could be reduced to $6250.
Meanwhile, Jack Ginnivan has been fined $3750 for striking GWS’s Connor Idun. This penalty reflects the league’s ongoing efforts to curb aggressive behavior on the field.
West Coast’s Elliot Yeo also finds himself in trouble, having been cited for striking North Melbourne’s Jackson Archer. The league’s disciplinary actions highlight a commitment to maintaining fair play and player safety.
These fines serve as a reminder of the consequences players face for breaches of conduct, emphasizing the importance of sportsmanship and adherence to the rules in the AFL.
