What’s next? 

Fremantle says it is working closely with the AFL to ensure appropriate flight conditions are met moving forward, with the league investigating the incident.

Fremantle players were allegedly forced to urinate in basins on a flight back home from Launceston after the plane ran out of water half an hour into the journey. 

The Dockers were aboard a chartered flight following last Saturday’s loss to Hawthorn due to there being no direct flights from Launceston to Perth available at the time through Virgin Airlines, the AFL’s official flight partner.

In ghastly scenes, staff aboard the flight were allegedly forced to manually scoop toilet waste into basins in a bid for toilets to remain usable for other passengers during the journey which usually lasts approximately four hours.
