- A player’s end-of-season Stephen Hawking costume included a prop with a doctored image suggesting child exploitation, leaving council staff distressed.
- League officials said senior club leaders were present and failed to act, and the club declined to identify the player or submit a board response.
- The City of Stirling has already terminated the club’s licence and evicted it from its Tuart Hill clubhouse, citing prior behavioural concerns.
- WA Police investigated and found no criminality, while the league weighed expulsion but opted for suspension to allow governance rebuilding and council re-engagement.
