Collingwood Has Just Handed De Goey His Punishment For Drink Driving

Collingwood’s Jordan De Goey has been suspended indefinitely and fined $10,000 by the club after he was caught drink driving.

The club has published a list conditions Jordan must meet if he wants to remain a Pie:

– Jordan will not drink alcohol at least until the season’s end, when this decision will be reviewed.



– Jordan has made a commitment to enlist the assistance of medical professionals to help him improve his decision making.



– Jordan has agreed to make significant changes to his social life and associations, a pledge the club supports and will monitor.



In relation to Jordan’s drink driving conviction last Saturday evening, it has been agreed that the following will also apply:



– An indefinite suspension from AFL selection. When Jordan has convinced his peers and coaches that meaningful change has occurred, and that his standards have risen to those of the group, he will become available for selection.



– A fine of $10,000. Jordan has also offered to make a further $10,000 donation to a charity, a gesture the club acknowledges and supports.



– Jordan will be required to undertake employment away from the club for a period of not less than four weeks. During this time he will train in the evenings with the Collingwood VFL squad.



– Jordan will take on a meaningful role with a charitable organisation, a position that will be monitored by the club.
