Australian Football LeagueBad boy Jordan Degoy is set to sit down with weary Collingwood officials on Monday, with his former coach Nathan Barkley saying the 26-year-old "must be relieved of the scandal over his wild party footage in Bali". Take responsibility."
Degoy, who made headlines for his off-pitch antics and often high-profile games in his career, will return from Bali on Sunday.
AFL officials are also monitoring the situation, particularly with regard to footage of De Goey trying to expose his friend Remy Jackson's breasts as he lay in the bar.
The Collingwood striker has a long list of indiscretions off the pitch - he recently spent the night in jail following a New York pub brawl - and the club are still under increasing pressure to rein in his misbehaviour.

The club's sanctions will be discussed at the meeting, with many Magpie officials and board members reportedly disgusted by his misconduct.
This is when Barkley expresses concern about why Degoy has found himself in this situation again.

"I don't think going to Bali is a good decision," he told Fox Footy.
"I know the clubs get criticized for that, but you can't keep your players like preschoolers and when they're adults you have to treat them like adults."
"At 26 you are an adult so Jordy has to take responsibility for the decision to leave, he has to take responsibility for where he is and where the club is."
"There's a whole lot that came out of it and unfortunately a lot that comes out of it," Barkley said.
De Goey has been solid at Collingwood this season, scoring 12 goals
Collingwood's players were given a 12-day goodbye break and the club knew of Degoe's intentions to travel to Bali.
Three-time Premier League player Cameron Mooney has put all the blame on the club.
"I am appalled that the club let him go. Whatever happens here, Collingwood, it's your fault. It's the stupidest decision I've ever seen in a football club," he said.

Remy Jackson defended 17,400 followers of De Goey on Instagram, and that number has increased by more than 2,000 in the last few days.
"Hi everyone, I can't believe the reaction to Jordy & Myself here in Bali...there's not much to see here," she wrote in her story.

Degoy also posted his own response on Instagram denouncing the media's "constant harassment" of athletes like him.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank my family, friends and supporters who have checked in or sent messages of support in the last 24 hours," he wrote.
"I want to publicly address the media's relentless pursuit and persecution of athletes to create an uneducated, biased and uninformed narrative that has gone too far."
“I was one of the lucky ones to receive amazing support, but not all athletes are so lucky. If no one answers, it will end in tragedy. Time for changes.

It is understood that Collingwood did not know in advance that he wanted to make a statement.
De Goey is in the last year of his contract and is set to receive a mega multi-year contract worth at least $800,000 in free agency.
Collingwood chief executive Mark Anderson said just two weeks ago that the club was confident they would retain Degoy before limited free agency hit the market.
"He's had a great year on the pitch and is very well followed off the pitch," he saidAFL-National.

The other half of this review is now clearly dusted off, and it remains to be seen whether Collingwood or another club will place such an expensive bet on Degoy.
Either way, the incident certainly doesn't add any zeros to his contract, and whatever good will he built up after his drunken antics in New York during pre-season has been tarnished.
More reports are emerging about the timeline of events during De Goey's stay in Baliherald the sun.
Former Essendon Premier League player Rick Olarenshaw's Mynx beauty salon was the first port Collingwood left Melbourne for shortly after his impressive Queen's Birthday victory.
The next day, De Goey trained with the local AFL team, the Bali Geckos, before taking part in training the next day.
The next day, after practice, De Goey and his group headed to the famous Finns VIP Club for a cocktail by the pool before heading to a Mexican motel.
That's where it all started, and now the deleted video is from a club known for bottomless margaritas.
De Goey was filmed making vulgar sexual gestures on camera before attempting to expose Jackson's breasts as he lay in a bar. The blond obviously wanted to shake off his hand.
It was far from the peaceful escape Collingwood had hoped for.
