As a club, we considered all options but our disappointment over Steele's suspension is no greater than it is over the fact that two senior players breached the return to play protocols.But Collingwood general manager of football Geoff Walsh said the club would not challenge the league's decision.McKenna was released from quarantine on Monday after testing positive to COVID-19 on June 20.Collingwood released a media statement this evening, saying Sidebottom's ban was "excessive" and "inconsistent" with penalties handed out for other protocol breaches in the AFL.Police then found Sidebottom intoxicated in the Melbourne suburb of Williamstown on Sunday morning, which was factored into his sanction, before he was driven home.The AFL has banned Collingwood's Steele Sidebottom for four matches after he breached the league's COVID-19 protocols last weekend."He's obviously remorseful about the decisions that were made but he's also in some way confused about what has taken place."He accepts that he made some poor decisions but he also feels it is the right thing to accept the punishment, a greater punishment than most believe is fair, to avoid a distraction that could create difficulties for the competition and his team-mates," Walsh said in the statement."The sanctions enforced in recent weeks should have been the reminder for everyone across the clubs, so we are disappointed to be having to deal with these breaches."This service may include material from Agence France-Presse (AFP), APTN, Reuters, AAP, CNN and the BBC World Service which is copyright and cannot be reproduced."The protocols have been clearly communicated, reviewed and accepted by all players across the league," he said. Collingwood's Steele Sidebottom.

In conversations with him, he probably hasn't been consuming as much alcohol, and one of the theories is he wasn't able to handle what he consumed at Howey's [Howe] place."At some point obviously with his drinking he's made some poor decisions, but his recollection isn't that great."They're all details that try to explain in some way what has happened in the evening, or Steele's understanding of it."He's embarrassed and very contrite, as you would understand."Earlier on Wednesday, Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley said Sidebottom did not have a clear recollection of his COVID-19 protocols breach after drinking too much alcohol.AFL general counsel Andrew Dillon said there were no excuses for players breaching protocols."Everyone knows Steele and Lynden started out with the best of intentions, to console an injured team-mate, but our players and staff have been well educated on the protocols and we take our social responsibilities seriously."His Magpies teammate Lynden Dunn received a one-match suspension.After dropping off Dunn, Sidebottom then took the Uber to the house of Magpies staff member Daniel Wells, which was another breach given that Wells is not part of Collingwood's COVID-19-compliant bubble."Speaking with Steele, he's quite embarrassed about the situation," Buckley said."That's the sort of person Steele is. Steele Sidebottom comes from the Shepparton area...I know his family through Tennis and hubby's cricket team...we lived up in Shepp for years and sport is huge in a country town...I don't believe he's related at all to Gary Sidebottom but I'm not 100% positive about that...I will ask hubby tomorrow because he'd know for sure. Collingwood hosts a depleted Hawthorn at the MCG on Saturday night and desperately needs a win to keep its slim finals hopes alive.The Magpies have lost their past nine matches against the Hawks.

In that time Hawthorn has averaged a staggering 114 points per game.Brown, an under-18 All Australian, was a father-son selection at pick 35 at last year’s national draft and is rumoured to be slightly ahead of fellow father-son product Josh Daicos.“He goes flat out and has no respect for his body.
