RICHMOND'S senior players have driven a decision to boycott radio station Triple M this week in the continued fallout to the controversy involving Eddie McGuire.   

The Tigers, who face the Brisbane Lions at the MCG during the prime radio timeslot of Saturday afternoon, could yet continue the boycott beyond this week.

Star forward Jack Riewoldt said the club had reacted strongly to disparaging comments made by McGuire about journalist Caroline Wilson during the lead-up to the Queen's Birthday clash a week ago.

"There's been discussion had at the footy club about how we felt about it and how everything went down," Riewoldt told Fox Footy on Tuesday night.

"The club's pretty strong in its stance and our club's a real leader for supporting women's rights.

"The football club's not going to partake in anything with Triple M this week, and it hasn't been set a final date yet, so it may continue on.

"It's come from a couple of senior players."

McGuire joked with North Melbourne chairman James Brayshaw and All Australian selector Danny Frawley about drowning Wilson and offered to donate $50,000 if she "stays under" water ahead of the Big Freeze at the 'G fundraising event on Queen's Birthday.

All three men have since apologised unreservedly for their comments. 

Triple M's head of content, Mike Fitzpatrick, has reminded the stations broadcasters that language of that nature was "not acceptable and there is no context that makes it okay".

Riewoldt said he had spoken to his partner about the comments, which made his position clear.

"The way I look at it and the way we've spoken about it, if it was her in that situation and I was the partner of her – and Caroline's got a husband – how would you feel about that," he said. 

"You've just got to put yourself in her (Wilson's) shoes and it was pretty much a no-brainer for us in the end."
