AFL sounds out clubs on drinking policy21 ay 200821 May 2008
THE AFL has asked its clubs for feedback on a policy to promote the responsible use of alcohol.
A draft policy created by the league and the AFL players' association will be sent to all clubs, with input also being sought from national drug and alcohol experts.
“The AFL, the Players' Association and our clubs understand that we have a responsibility to promote responsible drinking within the AFL and among the 16 clubs, the players and staff," league football operations manager Adrian Anderson said.
"This has been a work in progress for almost two years and the next step is to provide the draft version of the AFL Framing Policy to our key stakeholders for their views.
"The guidelines within the AFL Framing Policy will provide a framework for AFL clubs to assist them in developing their own individual club responsible alcohol policies, and provide leadership for other football leagues below the AFL."
