US EditionWillie Rioli apologises to Bailey Dale for alleged threat
- Willie Rioli, who plays for Port Adelaide, expressed regret on Monday concerning an alleged threatening message he sent to Bulldog Bailey Dale following their match in Ballarat on Saturday.
- The message reportedly followed an on-field altercation in which Rioli made illegal contact with Dale away from the ball during the Power’s 90-point defeat to the Bulldogs.
- Rioli was fined $1,000 for the striking incident but will face no further AFL action regarding the message, as both clubs and the league consider the matter resolved privately.
- Rioli's apology came amid broader tensions after he took personal leave last month following racist abuse linked to social media posts about his family's treatment by Hawthorn.
- The AFL reiterated expectations for respectful communication after speaking to both clubs, and Rioli remains available for Port Adelaide's upcoming Showdown against Adelaide.
