The AFL was “not thrilled” with the controversial Mad Monday display from Geelong stars including Bailey Smith and has told the club to “take some steps” in addressing the behaviour.

Geelong players are known for their effort at the end of the season celebration but, led by Smith, raised eyebrows with their dress-ups and online activity following their grand final loss to Brisbane.

Smith made a comment about veteran journalist Caroline Wilson, whom Max Holmes was dressed as, and mimicked the homosexual nature of film Brokeback Mountain with captain Patrick Dangerfield.
