A TASMANIAN footie player has been caught out flashing his genitals in the background of a live TV locker room interview.
AFL Tasmania and Clarence Football club are investigating the incident involving Clarence reserves player Tim Orchard.
Orchard was filmed exposing his penis in the background as senior player Ben Setchell was being interviewed live on ABC TV in the changerooms after Clarence's win over South Launceston at Bellerive Oval on Saturday.
Orchard was fully clothed in his club jacket and pants at the time.
An embarrassed and angry Clarence president Richard Mulligan said the player would front a sub-committee today.
If found guilty of a breach of player conduct, a penalty recommendation would be made to the board.
AFL Tasmania general manager Scott Wade said he was aware of the incident.
He said AFL Tasmania business operations manager Trent Bartlett and the TSL's southern regional manager Wayne Povey viewed the footage last night but would not make a comment until today.
He said Orchard could be charged with behaviour detrimental to the image of the game, as well as facing a penalty from his club.
ABC sport director Greg Simpson said the discipline of players was a league matter.
