The man in charging of managing the public profile of the Brisbane Lions has today taken an extraordinary step.
The media guy for the struggling AFL club has handed around a bunch of Yondr pouches to all players heading down to Adelaide for the weekend.
Taking a leaf out of a local teacher’s book, the media manager has enforced the phones in the pouches policy.
“Yep, everyone’s phones will be going in the Yondr pouches and sealed up for the weekend,” explained the manager after a tough week in the news.
The club has faced allegations that their 0-3 start to the year comes as a result of disunity in the playing group following a controversial off-season trip to Las Vegas.
While senior figures at the club have slammed media coverage of what they say is a nothing story – people on the internet have not refrained from utilising their creative writing skills to come up with Brisbane Lions Vegas Fan Fiction.
However, regardless of the rumour mill or the substance of any allegations, the media team have now decided that no group chat messages will be taking place for the next 48 hours or so.
“We play early on Friday night for fuck sake,” laughed the media manager.
“The boys could feasibly be at Zhivago when it opens…”
“And back at a Meriton before midnight…”
“We can’t have phones out and about this weekend. So they are in the Yondr pouches.”
“And I’ll be making sure they don’t put dummy phones or calculators in there,” he finished.
