A male Collingwood staff member has resigned after an incident involving alleged intoxication and inappropriate behaviour on a community camp in the Northern Territory.
The Magpies football department staffer, who has not been named publicly, was involved in the controversy on the final night of the recent camp.
Journalist Tom Morris reported via X that the Collingwood employee was allegedly “intoxicated and acted inappropriately” during the incident, which featured Magpies players, staff and board members.
In a statement provided to Morris, Collingwood confirmed the incident and a subsequent investigation, which resulted in the employee resigning from his role.

“Collingwood can confirm that an incident occurred during recent interstate travel that required investigation by the club,” a Magpies statement read.
“As soon as the club became aware of the incident, it moved quickly to address the matter and during this process, the employee involved tendered their resignation, which the club accepted.
“Our focus remains on supporting all team members and ensuring our environments remain professional and consistent with the values we stand for.”
It's understood all of Collingwood's first-year male and female players attended the camp, as well as staff and some board members.
