Geelong's Brad Hartman has been charged with leaving the scene of accident and failing to stop at a stop sign.
Hartman was returning home to South Australia when the incident happened in St. Peter's late on Sunday afternoon. He clipped a parked car but continued driving. After arriving home and discussing the matter with his father he went to the Murray Bridge police station to report the incident on Monday, and was charged on Tuesday. A court date has yet to be set.
"We are disappointed and frustrated that Brad has been involved in this incident and believe there have been too many motoring related issues with our players in recent years," Geelong CEO Brian Cook said.
"Brad should have handled this differently by stopping and then providing his details at the time.
"As a club it is clear that we need to reassess the manner in which we work with our players around their responsibilities as representatives of the Geelong Football Club. We will convene in the new year when the key people return to the club to develop a way forward in regard to this.
"The club has advised the relevant internal and external parties of the details of this incident."
