Collingwood was fined $20,000 by the AFL because Jordan De Goey accessed his and Jeremy Howeâs phones mid-game last Friday.
The likes of Garry Lyon and Gerard Whateley believed the AFL should come down hard on the duo, given the hypothetical integrity implications.
Kane Cornes however wonders why itâs such an egregious offence for injured players to grab their phones, meanwhile AFL coaches can have theirs with them in the box.
GWS coach Leon Cameron coincidentally had his phone next to him in the box during the club s Round 3 game. The AFL later stated that he was authorised to have it.

Sitting pretty on top of the ladder is a fair reflection of how well the Western Bulldogs are travelling.
Winning five games on the trot in the absence of key personnel who have contributed greatly in the recent past is also impressive.
Mitch Wallis was the club’s leading goalkicker in 2020 and finished 10th in the best and fairest playing an important role inside forward 50 as the Bulldogs made the eight.
Fast forward to today and the 28-year-old finds himself in the reserves as his teammates bank up win after win with a restructured attack inclusive of Aaron Naughton, Josh Bruce and Tim English.
