Complete beat up and Demitr-spew is a joke.

I've said it elsewhere in another thread. The AFL is the biggest joke in running a major sporting league in the world. Major issues eg the draw, TV rights, drugs, viability of teams, financial imbalances, the draft etc are left to bubble on the back burner without any action.

And now they spend all their time making a scapegoat out of one player.

If it was an issue that he was drinking, then the others he were with must also be dealt with.

I say good on him for blowing the lid on this series and showing it for what it is - a bloody jaunt paid for by us and enabling a swag of AFL officials a junket.

Anyone see the pic of the barman? That 'bruising' faded damn quick!

I urge everyone to hit the airwaves and feedback lines and call this what it is - BEAT UP!

Apparently bruises on this bloke don't show up as on most other people - must be that olive skin

Well, if they want everyone to take this event seriously, why are the players out for over 10 hours in between Tests? I don't have a prob with htem sampling the sites and events of the city they are visiting, but a 10 hour bender? (If true ).

Where is the comment from the coach, team manager, team captain, senior members of touring group to say this was against team instructions?

I hate the fact that grown men need to be baby-sat, but time and again footballers indicate that they might need it.

Then, while Brendan is apparently under police investigation (with the "victim" suposedly determined to pursue the case), the AFL bundles Brendan onto a plane to leave the country? All seems to be mis-handled to me.

This could trigger an international incident !!!!!
Its reminiscent of the Cuban missile crisis!!!!!!

Wheres Blueman????

Perusing his oracles.

It's so unlike the AFL to go heavy- handed on Carlton
Who was the journo who reported Fev was out looking for a fight, he has a lot to answer for!!!!

OK, ... so I'm bored.

What a filthy Chav. Get a look at this freak. I bet he has those really freaky white sneakers, sorry, trainers, on with his baggy jeans. And if that trainer top was undone you'd see the big gold blingy necklace round his neck. FILTHY CHAV.

From one of the articles.

One of the AFL cronies on SEN this morning (Keane?), confirmed that the four aboriginal boys were not directly taunted, but made a point of not discounting Fevs original claim. Sadly the line of questioning did not pursue this fact... obviously more interesting to go with the inflammatory alternative.

Without condoning Fevs behaviour, 'Paul' does have a very 'headlockable' head!

The fact that this has been the front page of ther HUN two days running... Just as the state election campaign officially begins is... Well, I hesitate to use the word disgrace, because it's been bandied about so much these past few days... but you understand what I mean.


I'd have preferred it if they'd gone with the headline:
"25 year-old Bogan gets into argument with Irish bartender whilst on holidays"

Maybe then we'd have less hype.

The headline should read:

"Footballing bogan grapples with Irish bogan in pub. Irish bogan miffed because it messed his greasy hair up"
