Summary
Port Adelaide forward Willie Rioli has withdrawn from Saturday’s Showdown against Adelaide amid an AFL investigation into allegations of threats made to opponents over the past two seasons. Although Rioli faced no penalties for a recent incident involving a Western Bulldogs player, he has a history of similar incidents that were resolved internally. Following discussions with the league and Port Adelaide management, Rioli trained with teammates but ultimately decided to make himself unavailable for the upcoming match.
