Adam Treloar expects Jordan De Goey to emerge from his club suspension a better person.

De Goey has been indefinitely banned from the AFL side and must train with the VFL Magpies at nights after working during the day as a landscaper, as part of his punishment for being caught drink driving.

"We want, not only great players at our footy club, but we want great people who put the footy club first," Treloar said at the Holden Centre on Tuesday.

"I think there's a few lessons Jordy can learn from that but in saying that, the footy club and us players, we're well and truly behind him. We know he's going to come out the better end of it."

This incident is not the first time De Goey has drawn attention for the wrong reasons. Last March, he was suspended for three games after lying to the club about a broken right hand.

Treloar has spoken to the 21-year-old a couple of times recently and believes De Goey will be more mentally prepared for the demands of elite football after having spent time in a gruelling nine-to-five job.

"It's a bit different for him because it's much more taxing. You can really see how lucky we are as athletes and footy players that we don't have to do that," Treloar said.

"We get a lot of down time. We get to keep fit and train and I think him missing it now, he realises that he takes it a bit for granted and I can't really talk on behalf of him, because I haven't really spoken to him about it, but I know that he'd be missing playing and being here and I know once it's done, he'll come back with a much better attitude and he'll be benefited for it."

De Goey was drafted with the fifth overall selection in the 2014 National Draft and has played 50 games.
