Wrong spot... Collingwood fine their star forward. Source: AAP
Collingwood have fined star forward Travis Cloke $1000 for repeatedly parking in the car space of club chief executive Gary Pert.
Fairfax Media report the club's leadership group handed down the bizarre sanction to Cloke last week.
Car parks outside the club's training base at the Westpac Centre on busy Swan Street in Melbourne are in short supply and Cloke has reportedly been warned about parking in the spot reserved for Pert more than once.
It's been reported the 2010 premiership player had been parking in Pert's spot on and off for more than a year.
The AFL Players' Association is not amused.
"It sounds like a ludicrous situation," an AFLPA spokesperson said.
"We can only assume there has been some kind of confusion - clearly the AFL players' code of conduct makes no reference to players being sanctioned for parking in an executive's car space."
Cloke signed a new five-year deal with the Magpies late last year following a long year of negotiations.
Many believed the contract situation affected his form last year, a claim Cloke has since denied.
It is the second time in a week Collingwood has fined a player for deeds away from the field.
Brownlow Medallist Dane Swane was fined for taking part, without the club's permission, a television interview in which he addressed rumours about alleged drug use.
