On the night after their 22-point loss to Ireland in the first Test of the International Rules Series, most of the Australian players partied at a nightclub in the country town of Limerick.
When they returned to the team hotel at Dromoland Castle in Ennis at about 4am on Monday, some headed up to a room and continued the party.
AFL.com.au understands hotel staff knocked on the door of the room at about 5am and asked a small group of players to turn their music down.
But when that request fell on deaf ears hotel staff returned 15 minutes later and again asked for quiet.
A team meeting was hastily called later that morning where AFL deputy CEO Gill McLachlan, football operations manager Mark Evans and coach Michael O'Loughlin addressed the players.
The players were given a couple of nights to let off steam following the first Test but were firmly told at Monday's meeting it was time to re-focus on the second Test on Saturday at Croke Park in Dublin.
A voluntary training session had been scheduled for Monday afternoon but it has now been made compulsory for the whole team and is expected to be a solid two-hour session.
Monday morning's disturbance followed another long party in Cavan immediately after the first Test at Breffni Park.
