Four of Australia's top young footballers face possible fines and suspensions after an end-of-tournament night out in Cambodia.

The ABC can reveal Football Federation Australia (FFA) will demand up-and-coming forward Lachlan Wales, young defender Nathaniel Atkinson and midfielders Brandon Wilson and Riley McGree explain their alleged behaviour, under a formal "show cause" process.

they all have one thing in common too, but I can't quite put my finger on it

[Scholes]

Sure have......they are Australian.

That would probably be because you're totally stupid.

Another classic coward post by Grossos. Continues to bad mouth the country he lives in while continuing to dodge and run away from anything that counteracts or shows his home land in a bad or worse light.

You do realise that Grosso was born here?
Your post above makes no sense.

So what did they do exactly? Go out and party a bit hard? Arrive at hotel after curfew?

Only punishment is jail, surely.

He always claims not to be Australian.

Your attempt at trolling is weak. Try harder next time

I am not trolling.
Honesty has a power that very few can handle.

Riley McGree is among four Olyroos to have received suspensions from the FFA.

Lachlan Wales, Nathaniel Atkinson and Brandon Wilson will not feature in a potential Olympics campaign next year while rising star Riley McGree will play no further part in the Olyroos' qualifiers after they were suspended for "unprofessional conduct" involving a woman.
In April this year, a woman complained about the quartet - who were in Cambodia with the Olyroos for the AFC U-23 championship qualifying tournament - leading to a lengthy FFA investigation.

McGree has been banned from international duty until April 1 next year while Wales, Atkinson and Wilson were hit with longer bans through to August 10, meaning that trio cannot be selected for the Tokyo Olympics.
All four players will also be suspended for January's AFC under-23 championships, the qualifying tournament for the Olympics.

McGree has had a stellar start to his return to Adelaide United, scoring four goals in his first five A-League games but will now be ineligible for Socceroos consideration, including for World Cup qualifiers against Nepal and Kuwait in March, until his ban expires.
McGree, Atkinson, Wales and Wilson did not travel with the Olyroos to China on November 9 as sanctions were pending.
The FFA said the four players would also participate in education courses and counselling as a result of the code of conduct breach.
"These sanctions are commensurate to the nature of the breaches of the National Code of Conduct which is in place to safeguard both the players and the reputation of Australian football," FFA chairman Chris Nikou said in a statement.
"Upholding our commitment to respect and responsibility cannot be compromised. Our game is built on equality, inclusivity and respect and these are values that we will continue to uphold.
"The players have understood the gravity of their actions and have positively commenced respectful relationship programs that will ensure they appreciate these values in the future."
The players can appeal FFA's ruling to the independent FFA disciplinary and ethics committee.
The players' union, Professional Footballers Australia, said it would provide support to all four players.
"The PFA has, and continues to, represent the players throughout this process and will work closely with each of them on their options, including appealing the sanctions imposed," the PFA said in a statement.
"From the outset the players have accepted responsibility, undertaken respectful relationships counselling and at all times acted cooperatively with the FFA during the investigation."

It’s a shambles that this is the punishment for breaking curfew.

I wonder why McGree has a shorter sentence. Just watched I suppose.

[Rookie]

So does the penalty fit what they did

[Bomber]

So does the penalty fit what they did

If George Best did similar back in the day, he'd be labelled a legend.

So it's a NO from me.

[Grosso Mk II]

So does the penalty fit what they did

not according to the board

2 members resigned because of this

[In the way]

Hooked up with the wrong persons ?

Ah the days before: PC, internet, instagram, tinder, facebook, snapchat etc etc...

Once again the FFA board has stuffed an 'incident' up and overreacted with their decision.

The punishment are far too harsh for the three who will probably miss the Olympics and possibly their future in the game.

It will also seriously affect the Ollyroos' chances of getting there too.

Stupid tools who don't understand the impact their decision will have, so much for a 'New Direction'.

You don’t agree with the decision, which probably means the correct one was made.

Poor comment on OM's analysis. The Olyroos are key to football success in Australia. If the penalty given was warranted fair enough but too much secrecy.
Australia needs a strong Socceroos' to keep up interest in our local game and the Olympic side is a step forward. Talking your 4 top players out is not the way to go if its only about the game image.

punishment is bullshit....they broke curfew...that's it!

it smells like political correctness gone mad....just to appease female members of the FFA board...

[Michael]

punishment is Barossa Pearl....they broke curfew...that's it!

BINGO!

The FFA need to understand that these are young players in the early stage of their Footballing careers and, like most males their age make mistakes, but there was no reason to wreck their future for something that should have been dealt with quickly and efficiently.
It should not have been dragged through the media and made out to be the 'Crime iof the Century'.

McGree's punishment should have been the maximum applied for such a mistake in judgement by young men letting off a bit of 'steam', ffs.

Hello guys, I love football, although I'm a girl. As for me, a cool game, I even sometimes play it with my friends. I also really like to play online in lightning link pokies
