Former AFL star Rhys Palmer has come under heavy fire and faces a potential life ban after a bizarre and dangerous incident overnight in Perth.
Palmer won the 2008 NAB rising star and made a name for himself as a member of the Fremantle Dockers before joining the GWS Giants.
After being delisted by Carlton following the 2017 season, Palmer returned to Western Australia where he signed with the Swan Districts in the West Australian Football League. The club struggled throughout the 2018 season finishing eighth on the ladder of nine teams and winning only six out of 18 games.
Palmer is now facing a potential life ban from racetracks after the ugly shoe throwing incident overnight. “The first shoe just missed leaders and the second shoe landed among midfield runners,” Acting chief steward Rhys Chappell said.Winning driver Dylan Egerton-Green said it was a miracle the objects didn’t hit any of the other drivers or horses.
