After his retirement from AFL football at the end of the 2002 season , McGrath was one of 21 Geelong players that were in Bali at the time when the 2002 Bali bombings occurred on 12 October 2002 . McGrath and his team mates were staying at a hotel only 400 metres away from the Sari Club , the scene of the bombings , and they had spent the entire week partying at the Sari Club , but on the night of the attacks , which was the final night of their trip , they decided to hang out at their hotel instead . McGrath stated afterwards that all the players were OK , but were upset about what had happened , and therefore did not wish to comment on the events that had occurred
