Port Adelaide Football Club has been rocked by controversy today as young star Miles Bergman was handed a suspension following serious allegations involving an off-field incident that is currently under investigation.
The AFL confirmed the ban early this morning, citing a breach of the league’s code of conduct. While the specifics of the allegation have not yet been made public, sources close to the situation suggest it involves an alleged altercation at a private event over the weekend.
Bergman, 23, has been a rising talent for the Power since his debut in 2021 and was seen as a key figure in the club’s plans for the 2025 season. His sudden absence from training and subsequent removal from the team list has left both fans and teammates stunned.
Port Adelaide issued a brief statement:
“The club is aware of the situation involving Miles Bergman and is cooperating fully with the AFL Integrity Unit. At this time, we will not be making further comment until the investigation concludes.”
AFL Integrity officials have launched an inquiry, and Bergman has reportedly been asked to remain away from club facilities during the process.
Fans have taken to social media with mixed reactions—some expressing support for the player, while others demand transparency and accountability.
This developing story adds to a string of recent disciplinary issues faced by AFL clubs, putting increased pressure on the league to reinforce its off-field expectations.
