Richmond's seeming reluctance to go into a Hub

She might not owe the supporters anything but she certainly owes the club and if the club is not the supporters then what is it? She's one of these alleged "Influencers". What influence would she have if she wasn't married to an AFL Captain?
The club is the members.
They should apologise for 2 reasons: they f***ed up; and this would put the issue to rest. I don't think it should be a big apology and full press conference or anything, it just isn't that big a deal. Simple statement to members on the website and app is more than sufficient. Let's not blow this out of proportion, what she did pales into comparison with what Bucks did along with quite a few others. They have all been up there for more than a fortnight so just warn everyone that we don't want to jeapordise the season so be more careful.
Then we can concentrate on the real issues of actual AFL personnel: that is players and coaches FFS, doing far worse.

All this talk is really out of hand. We have people dying daily in Victoria and some are up in arms regarding what is obviously an innocent mistake in a state that has virtually no cases. Does anyone seriously think she did what she did on purpose? She erred, yep ok let them pay the fine and let's move on. None of this coronavirus situation is a positive for anyone. Everyone is battling to cope with the conditions being presented and adjusting to the new rules.
From the bits an pieces of games I’ve watched this season , I’m convinced I’ve got sfa idea on the new rules , with zero bias because I dislike all the other 17 teams 
I’m constantly reading the decision of the umpire incorrectly, I feel I have a much better understanding of the rules of Bocce a game I’ve never seen played or played.
I don’t understand why we need to be like any other sport or played at a frenetic pace ? The thing that bemuses me most Is the fact we have the greyest ruled game in the world and BoB ( brother of Buddha) appears to be adding more Interpretive rules and grey areas , I’d say the forecast will have cloudy skies for a while .

It wasn't just Brooke, both her and Trent made a mistake. They are a team and have my full support.
According to Benny, Trent immediately offered to pay the fine.
Below is a tweet from Benny.
We’re committed to doing all we can to ahere to the
@AFL
COVID protocols. It’s not negotiable! The inadvertent breach this week was disappointing (and Trent immediately offered to pay the fine). It’s a reminder of the fragility of the
@AFL
competition, and the entire community.

I kind of feel for the umpires here. With the constant changing of rules and altering of interpretation, the powers that be are making their job a whole lot harder than it needs to be. No wonder they’re confused and making errors.From the bits an pieces of games I’ve watched this season , I’m convinced I’ve got sfa idea on the new rules , with zero bias because I dislike all the other 17 teams

Doesn't really matter what's Qld natives can and cannot do. AFL teams and their entourages are there under a unique permissiongranted by by the QlD govt and totally obliged to meeting each and every condition imposed on them.
I have not heard of any other busines or entity being allowed to relocate to Qld so they can carry on their enterprise.
But the next mistake, innocent or otherwise , could end the circus for all. And even captains wives will see a lot less moolah flowing into their joint bank account every pay day.
But for the record I don't I want any apology nor particularly mind who pays but if Trent does I would hold him in even higher regard.
at the Mirage Reality is extremely unlikely in QLD based on current cases but yes the rules are in place for a reason and they should be obeyed. My comment was really based around what I believe is disproportionate angst. Lesson learnt by the parties involved. Let's move on.
Fair enough. He is an AFL employee and knew they were treating all breaches as confidential
But it wasn't confidential at the time he re-tweeted the photo. She had been publicly named.
