The sporting gang decided to punish fellow team mates who have been late to training or have made errors during matches by turning them into the meat feast of chicken schnitzel.

The players were forced to jump into freezing sea before they rolled around in the sand on St Kilda beach in Melbourne, Australia, to resemble the breadcrumb-covered snack.

The ALF players were then forced to run to the end of the pier and jump back in the ocean.

And according to The Herald Sun it is believed the unusual method of reprimanding the team has proved successful as many of the players have cleaned up their act and started to perform better in a bid to avoid the embarrassment again.
