AFL team is hit by shocking toilet disaster on long flight – forcing footy stars and airline staff to perform disgusting acts

The Fremantle Dockers have endured a horror flight on which a lack of water compelled passengers to urinate into basins – while staff manually scooped faeces out of the toilet.

The AFL team was reportedly on a chartered National Jet Express flight from Launceston to Perth after their loss to Hawthorn on July 13 when the plane ran out of water after just half an hour.

The Transport Workers Union – representing the cabin crew – has expressed deep concern over the ordeal, claiming staff and passengers faced unsanitary and unsafe conditions due to the non-functioning toilet.

TWU Western Australia state secretary Tim Dawson slammed the situation as ‘utterly unacceptable’, claiming it ‘demonstrates a glaring neglect of duty of care’ towards both passengers and union members.

‘Our cabin crew members should not be subjected to such hazardous working conditions, and passengers should not have to endure such distressing experiences,’ he said.

‘This incident highlights the critical necessity for health and safety representatives and to have a strong voice for workers to report these incidences before the plane is in the air,’ he said.

‘We need to make sure preventable incidents like these don’t happen again.’

The TWU has contacted National Jet Express, which is reportedly investigating the incident and has agreed to share its findings with the union.

National Jet Express has been contacted for comment by Daily Mail Australia.

The Dockers are yet to comment on the incident, with defender Luke Ryan set to address the media on Thursday afternoon.

The shambolic scenes add to Fremantle’s forgettable history of fixtures in Launceston. 

The Dockers have won just two of their 14 games at York Park, but one of those was only confirmed days afterward due to a dispute on when the final siren sounded in the 2006 game.
