Port fine Hartlett for drinking

Another AFL player is in trouble for drinking after playing last weekend.

Port Adelaide announced on Tuesday they had fined Hamish Hartlett $2500, with another $2500 suspended, after he caught up with friends following Sunday's 79-point loss to Geelong.

It comes a day after Melbourne onballer Brent Moloney lost his vice-captaincy for an alcohol-related incident early on Monday morning.

Moloney was asked to leave a St Kilda nightclub for being too drunk and he has admitted to a binge drinking problem when he consumes alcohol.

The Power said they had fined Hartlett because he had not met the team's uncompromising standards.

"Hamish went out for a few drinks with friends on Sunday night, after returning to Adelaide following the game against Geelong," Port football manager Peter Rohde said in a statement.

"It was a quiet catch-up with mates, but a player's recovery must come first and his actions were outside of the standards the playing group itself has set."

Sunday was Hartlett's first AFL game back from injury.
