Adelaide has been fined $7500 for repeated warnings to Ben Keays and Josh Rachele against wearing boots with metal studs. Both players have also been sanctioned. The AFL confirmed the breaches on Wednesday, with Keays ($5000) and Rachele ($2500) receiving individual fines in addition to the club's penalty.
According to AFL Media, Keays received a heavier fine for wearing metal studs in more games compared to Rachele. The $7500 fine will not be part of Adelaide's soft cap.
AFL executive general manager of football operations Laura Kane emphasized the importance of player health and safety, stating that wearing metal studs poses a significant injury risk to other players. Despite multiple warnings, the players chose to wear the incorrect football boots.
