Does anyone know when he lands at Melbourne Airport?

I'm sure we'll find out

I agree we need some perspective. I think
a) bad idea management allowing a booze up during a supposedly 'serious' international tour (regardless of what we may think that's what the AFL want it to be)
b) according to the Hun a number of players were drunk, one vomited in the bar so there is a real concern about the whole management of the team especially when the last tour was criticised for spending more time boozing than playing
c) would like to think team 'leaders' would be around to ensure no young guys go to far
d) would have thought Fev would be one of these leaders rather than the main protagonist
e) forget about what others did, others behaving badly doesn't excuse Fev
f) it is not the same as the various other examples of players getting drunk and acting up. Fev is on an alleged tour representing his country and it shouldn't be too much to ask that they take it reasonably seriously and don't get tanked for two weeks
g) puts Fev back to square one and he needs to give up grog for the next 6 years. If he wants to be a drunken yob, fine, retire. If he wants to be a footy star, do what he did during the season
h) Fev is 26 and needs to stop acting like he is 17. Or if he needs to act like that pick the time and place.
i) what the hell was the team management thinking? just what we need more aussie sportsmen representing us in the big bad world by acting like they are 18 year olds on a contiki tour

The club has spent the past month pouring money into its PR and one petulant, immature flower pisses it up against the wall.
Brendan Fevola is'nt just representing himself. He is representing his country, his club and the supporters.

His behaviour consistently indicates that when things dont go his way, he acts like a spoilt brat.
Surely at some stage the club needs to set some standards and stick with them.
To consider a player who carries on like a 6 year old when things go against him as a captain is farcical.
I'd retain Kouta for 07 and then give leadership roles to the up and comers in 08.

Apart from Fevola himself saying he wants to be captain, has anyone from Carlton remotely expressed any genuine consideration of Fevola for captain?

No problem with that but the AFL are wiping their hands of any responsibility which is bullshit. They are responsible for encouraging the players to hit the piss and they should take some of the brunt for this.Where were our security guys when this was unfolding, hopefully the camera's show how many of the AFL hangers on were their as well.

%$#@ING Alcohol.............

what a society we live in (as i think Elwood said)........we
%$#@ING glorify every aspect of being SMASHED...........!

21st's.....weddings....engagements......%$#@ even funerals.....
a speech can not be made without a reference to when
someone was SMASHED........"oh it was so funny.......then he
pissed in the cupboard.......after pissing on his parents bed.......
god it was funny.....he was SMASHED.........then he
vomited in his bed..........IN HIS BEEEED"...........!

yeah %$#@ HILLL-ARRRRR-ious...............!

it's all so normal........!

i love the term......."drugs and alcohol"............pfffft...as if they're
two different things...........!

THEY'RE BOTH %$#@ING DRUGS............!

even when a team wins a Grand Final.......the next day
they're presented to the supporters.........usually families with their
children........and what do the players do.......?

they all walk out with crownies in their hands...........SMASHED.......!

hey....don't worry.........it's part of our society......we can get
SMASHED......piss on ourselves.....vomit everywhere......
and it HILLL-AARRRR-ious...........!

look........i'm no angel.........i do things that aren't always...
"law abiding".........but hey........the day you see me standing
in the street with wet pants and stubby in hand......i tell
yas.....put a few quid on St Kilda for a flag.....cos honestly.....?

the world will have gone com-PLETE-ly mad...........!


kindest regards tommi!

Where is the onus on a 26 year old, who has been in the system for 8 years, taking repsonsibilty for his own actions? When are we, as a society, going to start insisting that adults accept responsibility for their behaviour, and stop making excuses for them? It's pathetic that an individual can go out, choose to get intoxicated, and behave in a way that impacts negatively on another person...and people still want to excuse that behaviour.

We are adults who need to be responsible for our actions, and live with the consequences when we stuff up. Simple. And Fevola stuffed up.

I can't believe the hoo ha over this on the news, in the papers and even on the Carlton forums. Not like he ripped an ATM out the wall or stole a bus.
The AFL are all keen to protect the guys who have tested positive to recreational drugs but they leave Fev to hang out to dry.

Interesting...I view Fevola's actions as worse than ripping an ATM or stealing a bus. At least with those, no one else is hurt or impacted (although businesses are). Fevola's actions directly impacted on the well being of another person...unacceptable.
