Hawthorn captain James Sicily says that fellow skipper and GWS leader Toby Greene should not have been fined during the club's off-season party that has raided the media.
Last week, a total of 13 Giants players were handed hefty sanctions across the board due to their participation in a themed (controversial couples) 'Wacky Wednesday' involving inappropriate outfits and skits.
Youngster Josh Fahey copped the biggest brunt of the penalty, receiving a four-match ban, whilst Jake Riccardi, Cooper Hamilton, Toby McMullin, Harvey Thomas, and Joe Fonti have all been suspended for two matches each.
Club leaders Toby Greene, Sam Taylor, Tom Green, Harry Perryman and Lachie Keeffe were fined $5,000 each for their lack of governance at the event, a discipline that doesn't sit well with Sicily.
"This hasn't happened before, I don't think," Sicily said, according to Channel 9.
"It is a bit strange, especially given you've had a few drinks and whatnot.
"I don't agree with the fines for not displaying leadership. I'm not sure about that one."
Calls have come to put an end to the off-season celebratory parties, given the potential damage it could cause.
"Although this has come out and it looks ugly," according to Sicily, he doesn't think it'll be "phased out".
"I don't think so," Sicily added.
"You sort of don't know what you don't know.
"A lot of clubs have fun during Mad Week and on days like Mad Monday and Wacky Wednesday, and there is a sort of a party element to it.
"So, to say that other clubs, including ours, didn't have a party celebration or party atmosphere at our end-of-year event is just wrong.
"I don't think it will be phased out."
