Following the Lions' own investigation he has been disciplined in accordance with the Club's Code of Conduct for breaching the standards of behaviour expected from all Brisbane Lions players.
The Lions and AFL view this matter extremely seriously and have consulted heavily to arrive at appropriate Club-imposed penalties.
Proud remains deeply regretful over the incident that resulted in an injury to a female patron at a Gold Coast bar in late January this year.
The matter is still subject to criminal proceedings so the Club is unable to make any further comment.
