Adam Simpson ‘was in tears' after infamous 2022 nightclub incident involving Patrick Naish and six others
Former West Coast coach Adam Simpson was brought to tears in the aftermath of the club's infamous COVID nightclub incident in 2022. Seven Eagles players were fined $5000 after being spotted at a Perth nightclub during the late stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, at which point AFL players were living under strict parameters to ensure the competition could run with limited disruption during what was an unprecedented time. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Pat Naish explains story behind infamous nightclub incident. Pat Naish, Hugh Dixon, Jackson Nelson, Josh Rotham, Jake Waterman, Rhett Bazzo and Campbell Chesser were all sanctioned by the club. At the time, Simpson called it an 'error in judgement'. 'Decisions have been made, sanctions have been laid and now we need to get on with it,' Simpson told 7NEWS Perth after it happened. 'They're very remorseful, obviously it's an error in judgement and we'll move on. 'With the current environment and where we're at, it's just really poor judgement from those boys. 'They've got a bit of trust to earn back from the playing group and the club.' Speaking to new podcast What Could've Been about the incident for the first time, Naish — who moved to West Coast after being delisted by Richmond in 2021 — says he had even let then-Eagles captain Luke Shuey know about the night out in advance. 'It was (Richmond defender) Nathan Broad's engagement party, because he's from WA and so is his partner,' Naish said. 'I got invited to that, and we played Richmond that Friday night, and I reckon it was on a Saturday (the engagement). 'What I thought is that I was just catching up with a couple of Richmond mates for dinner and a couple of beers, and I ended up leaving there at like 10.30pm. It was a harmless night. 'But yeah, got out, left there early, went home, and thought nothing of it. 'And I ran it by 'Boots' (Shuey) before. I was like, 'Mate, don't know if this is all good but I've got a couple of the Richmond boys over, they're over for Broady's, and I've been invited to his engagement party'.' Simpson — who incidentally contracted COVID days later, along with several others at the club — was distraught when he spoke to Naish the next Monday. 'The photo that got leaked was a photo that Hip-E Club actually posted on their Instagram, and it was Jackson Nelson with Liam Baker, Josh Rotham and a couple other boys, and that's how the club found out,' Naish said. 'From there, in WA, it was literally like the biggest news ever. 'I remember we played Brisbane the next week and I was good mates with Cam Rayner, and Cam goes, 'Why are you blokes in trouble?' and I was like, 'Mate, I actually have no idea'. 'I remember we had to go in on the Monday and I walked into Simmo's office, and Simmo was in tears — in tears. 'Because he goes, 'Mate, we found you, we gave you a second life and you've repaid us like this'. 'I reckon I had four beers, like I wasn't even (doing anything bad).' A club statement at the time said the players had disobeyed 'guidelines', but didn't specify that any rules were broken. Naish, who had been given a lifeline by the Eagles earlier that year as a pre-season supplemental selection period (SSP) addition to the list, was delisted at season's end. 'Did it ruin my career? I don't know,' the 26-year-old said. 'I don't think about it much, to be completely honest. 'I enjoyed the first half of the year (in the AFL side) and then enjoyed playing WAFL. 'I went out of my comfort zone moving to WA for a year and lived in Wembley which is a good part of the world. 'But I wouldn't change it to be honest; it was unreal, I met some lifelong friends there, and had some fun along the way.' Naish, the son of former Tigers great Chris Naish was originally drafted as a father-son selection to the Tigers in 2017. He played nine games at Tigerland before being delisted at the end of 2021. He played another 11 games at West Coast in 2022.

Investigators say the child's father called 911 about 3.15pm local time and officers quickly responded to an apartment building at 195 Steuben Street near Weser Avenue in the Park Hill section of the borough. Police found the little girl with abrasions to the torso. A one-year-old girl is recovering after being thrown down a garbage chute on Staten Island on Monday, police said. (CNN) She was rushed to Richmond University Hospital in stable condition and is expected to recover. Police said a 39-year-old man was taken into custody. Police sources say he is the one-year-old's uncle. He has not been charged. An NYPD officer was seen on the third floor standing in front of the garbage chute and just down the hall was the family's apartment with the door open. Neighbour Milton Franklin told CBS News New York the family has lived in the building for a while. "I'm lost for words right now because I'm just ... a baby down a garbage chute is just ... it's absolutely mindboggling," Franklin said. He said he was coming home from work on Monday afternoon when he saw several emergency crews outside the building and a distraught woman carrying a child to an ambulance. "I'm going to pray that God wraps his arms around this family and they get through this situation," Franklin said. "It makes me feel so depressed. It makes me feel bad about who can do a thing like that," neighbour Froylan Zapata added.

Journalist's horror discovery reporting missing girl case
A Brazilian journalist has made a grim discovery while reporting on a missing schoolgirl who was last seen swimming in the Mearim River in Bacabal, northeastern Brazil. Lenildo Frazão was reporting from chest deep in the river while a segment was filmed, illustrating the depth of the river where the 13-year-old was seen cooling off with friends. 'The water is already above my chest, so you can see the situation there. If I walk a little here, let me see, I'm going to walk a bit more, here it's deep' Frazão confirmed in Spanish as he waded through the water. Chillingly, as he takes a step deeper he immediately springs back in panic, rushing out of the river, holding his microphone above the water's surface. 'I found something at the bottom of the water . . . it wasn't soft' he said. Frazão wasn't exactly sure what he'd felt, but he feared the worst and refused to continue the report. 'No, I'm not going, I'm scared. It felt like an arm, could it be her? But it might be a fish too, I don't know.' Following the reporter's eerie experience, divers and firefighters resumed the search for the missing girl on the morning of June 30. Sadly, they soon located the schoolgirl's body, close to where Frazão had been filming. Frazão wasn't exactly sure what he'd felt, but he feared the worst and refused to continue the report. Credit: @eitabacabal / Instagram The 13-year-old girl, who was only known as Raíssa, drowned while swimming in the river with some friends. Frazão had emphasised the river's hazardous risks during the start of his report, emphasising its powerful currents and irregular depth created by holes in the riverbed. Accidental drowning was confirmed as the cause of death after a post-mortem examination revealed no evidence of trauma. Raíssa was buried on June 30 according to The Sun.
