Sydney fines Shane Mumford for drunken incident in Melbourne Ruckman Shane Mumford has been disciplined by the Swans. SYDNEY ruckman Shane Mumford has been punished by the AFL club for an alcohol-related indiscretion in Melbourne. The reigning premiers had a 10-day break after their historic match in Wellington against St Kilda, with players given the weekend off. Mumford flew to Melbourne and, in the words of coach John Longmire, made a mistake while drinking on Friday night. The 26-year-old has been fined, but will take his place in the Swans' side on Sunday when they host Brisbane at the SCG. Longmire did not reveal the exact nature of Mumford's misdemeanour, or his punishment, but acknowledged co-captains Jarrad McVeigh and Kieren Jack were called on to help deal with the matter. "We had an incident last week and we dealt with it internally a couple of days ago," Longmire said today. Going into a long week, Shane went to Melbourne and had a couple of drinks. We dealt with it with our captains and spoke to Shane about it and dealt with it under the players' code of conduct. We're not going to go into details of what he was fined. It's disappointing from any player. It was disappointing from Shane's point of view and he acknowledged that. All footy clubs have players that make mistakes. We're confident he'll learn from that, improve and work through the mistakes he makes and push on.
