BEST THING THAT EVER COULD HAVE HAPPENED!!
Fevola swears off alcohol because his wife is pregnant. He then wins the Coleman Medal playing the best footaball of his carrer.
My fear was always that he would then become complacent and start drinking a bit (maybe a lot, clearly he has a drinking problem), and turn in an average year next year.
Thus I was hoping his wife would get pregnant again, but given this is unlikely so soon, this is the next best thing.
Now Fev has no choice but to pull his head in, swear off the drink again, and show everyone he can play great footy and that last year wasn't a one off.
Yes Fev's a flower and of course he shouldn't be captain (this will finally end all those ridiculous suggestions), but in terms olf benefiting the Blues on field next year, make no mistake, what happened in Ireland is a good thing.
POW!!!
Ok, so I've suggested about 3 POWs already, but they're all good!!
I'm sitting here with a migraine (haven't had one for 20 years, wonder what could have brought it on???), and reading all this over-sensitive, conspiratorial, the-AFL-and-the-media-and-George-Bush-and-the-whole-Universe-have-got-it-in-for-us dribble is not making it any better. Disturbs me to say this, but we're all starting to sound like Collingwood supporters on here.
Ok, so the AFL might have it in for us (personally I don't buy that, but I'm happy to go with it), the media may love getting stuck into us, but at the end of the day, there is a much more serious issue going on here that much more directly effects us.
Our most talented and arguably most important player is a flower. He has a drinking problem, and an attitude problem. He stuffed up big time, and not only that, he stuffed up in a way which impacted on someone else. Bruise or no bruise, racial insults or no racial insults, being physically aggressive to someone else is not acceptable. If you don't like what's going on, then be a man, and get up and walk away. Or be a man, and talk about the issue like civilised human beings. Don't be a complete wimp and use physical aggression. When will the world wake up to the fact that the tough thing to do is to talk in a civilised way to work things out, or to just walk away...and that being physically aggressive is TAKING THE EASY WAY OUT???
And if he can't do the tough thing and talk or walk away, because he's had too much to drink and is not 100% in control of his faculties, then accept the responsibility for his actions that led him to get that way. No one else is to blame about Fevola's behaviour other than Brendan Fevola. He is an adult, he has been in the system for 8 years, so can't use that as an excuse. It's time he accepted that responsibility.
Brendan Felova's behaviour was completely unacceptable. Forget what the AFL have done and what the barman is saying and what the media want to beat up. The bigger issue here, especially for Carlton supporters, is making sure that he, and other players, learn from this, and start taking repsonsibility for their actions and behaviour.
And if they do this, the AFL can't have a go at us, the media will leave us alone, Fev will kick 120 goals next year, and the world will be a much better place.
