Three AFL Players Hospitalised After Alleged Drug Use

Three players from a Melbourne-based AFL team were hospitalised after reportedly consuming recreational drugs during a party on Saturday night.

The players were at a friend's house when the situation escalated, necessitating emergency medical assistance. The identities of the players and the club have not been disclosed.

Currently, the players are on leave during the off-season, with pre-season activities set to begin for some teams in mid-November.
