Richmond captain addresses Lefau's drink-driving

Mykelti Lefau has been caught by the police driving while more than double the legal alcohol limit.

The Richmond forward was reportedly stopped over the weekend in Malvern East and delivered a blood alcohol reading of .108.

Asked about his teammate's brush with the law at AFL captain's day, Toby Nankervis said: "I've been here (at Captain's Day) this morning and I've just been made aware of it now.

"The club will be working through it at the moment. I'll go to the club this afternoon and learn more.

"I've just heard about it and initially it is (disappointing). As I said, the club are working through that at the moment and I've been here this morning, I'll know more when I have those conversations this afternoon."

Richmond chief executive Shane Dunne will speak to the media about the incident on Monday.

The 27-year-old suffered an ACL injury in 2024, kicking 14 goals in 10 outings, before returning in Round 16 last year.

Lefau missed the rest of the season with a calf injury sustained upon his return against the Crows.

He was pressing his case to hold down a regular spot in Adem Yze's side after impressing in the practice match against Essendon on Friday with three goals.

"It was a tough year, I was off for a bit with the injuries," Lefau told Channel 7 last month.

"To be back in that position to fight for my spot again, it's really good.

"There's going to be no pressure, but everyone's seen from (Adem) Yze that we want to go all in this season. That's our focus for the season, going all in and playing how we want to play."

Neither Richmond or the AFL has commented on the reports.

More to come.
