Hird, all class but Fev would have been punching out of his division had he been sober.

Watched the cut version admitedly not the worst bits. But I still can't see what the fuss is about.

Exactly WTF did you expect Judd to do? I actually found the pressurem point/Steven Segal bit funny, the first 10 times at least......

Citizen Fevola :roll: :roll: :roll: Yada Yada Yada.

The only bit I was interested in was what was the 'political' point or question he was going to pose to Sir James?

Still I shouldn't be expectant - it was probably something like.... "How come you're a poof?" or "Why you drinking wine instead of crownies?"
My material isn't very good..Oh...and then there's the bladder problem.

This is getting annoying. SEN's crapping on about another "incident" that took place that night. The real reason Carlton ditched him. Has anyone heard what happened? Apparently someone could have pressed charges but they decided not to...

Sure the guy made an arse of himself and he obviously has the IQ of a clothes peg. But the innuendo that's out there is crazy...

Not the most reliable of sources, but this is what they are talking about:

CAGE THIS BEAST: Brendan Fevola’s sexual assault exposed
By VEXNEWS ⋅ October 9, 2009


VEXNEWS exclusively revealed yesterday that Brendan Fevola had made an unwelcome advance toward a Herald Sun journalist at the end of a 13 hour bender at the Brownlow Medal ceremony.

It has now emerged that Fevola’s misconduct that night was much more untoward and despicable than was disclosed in that story. There were many separate incidents but nothing more serious than what we can now reveal.

FEVOLA’S SHAME
Well-placed football sources have told VEXNEWS that Fevola followed a woman into the female toilets at Crown Casino, leapt upon her, forced her to the floor, simulated sex acts upon her and had to be dragged off his prey by a number of people. While not rape, it was certainly a form of sexual assault, according to legal experts. Astonishingly enough, one source has told VEXNEWS that Fevola was allowed to continue his partying after the sex attack.

No complaint has been made to the Victoria Police, at this stage, although they have been made aware of the incident.

VICTIM’S IMPACT BUT NO STATEMENT
We have decided not to name the victim of the attack, for privacy reasons. However, sources familiar with her situation tell VEXNEWS that she has been greatly troubled by the attack, has taken time off work since the incident to recover and has been encouraged to seek counselling. Her family and work colleagues are believed to be furious about the incident and have been encouraging her to report the predator to authorities so he does not repeat the incident on other women.

The woman – who attended the Brownlow Medal event – is thought to be unlikely to want to make a complaint because it might adversely effect her career or her reputation in the football world. That’s a remarkable reflection on modern football, if true.

PUNT THIS BEAST THEN CAGE HIM
The bottom line is that Fevola is paid lavishly to be a role model and yet has acted like a sexual predator, traumatising a young woman and bringing disgrace upon the game.

If he isn’t charged, it is certainly worth seriously considering the Herald Sun’s spot-on editorial today that Fevola be forcibly retired. His conduct is now well beyond a joke and should be treated with the appropriate gravity by a game that is ultimately utterly dependent on the goodwill of fans.

One of the great aspects of AFL is how strongly women support it, in order to maintain that, the AFL must return the favour. They can’t control Carlton’s decisions and requiring them to dump a player of Fev’s quality seems very harsh. But his behaviour has crossed the line. It is time for action.

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN UNFAIRLY TARNISHING CARLTON’S NAME
Carlton sources – yesterday keen to downplay Fevola’s crazed and disturbing conduct – are aware of the incident and are believed to be devastated by the damage he could be doing to the reputation of the club.

The club is still recovering from suggestions from its former president John Elliott that Carlton paid “hush money” to women who’d been raped by Carlton players in return for them not making complaints to authorities.

Some have suggested that VEXNEWS’ revelations yesterday – still not reported elsewhere – have had an adverse effect on Fevola’s trade to the Brisbane Lions. It’s believed a trade will still proceed, with the Lions or possibly Sydney presumably hoping they’ll not have one of the best players on their list locked up for a stupid incident that crossed the line from drunken stupidity to a despicable, predatory and gravely serious crime.

I should probably know the answer to this, but shouldn't the Scum and the AFL, or even Neil "The People's Champion" Mitchell report the matter to the police, even if the woman hasn't made a complaint, seeing as they "know" details?

Whilst I am not going to stick up for the Plebola and his disgraceful actions and whilst I agree that he should be brought to account for his actions (I hope the woman does speak up about it...), the above statement is just complete bullshit.

Yes, footballers are paid handsomely to ply their trade (i.e. be footballers), and yes, they are in the public eye (some more so than others...), but they are not paid to be role models because they are paid to be footballers!!!!!

Plebola is a moron, but let's face facts, there are quite a few in the football world that would fall into the same boat...and if anyone sees him or others of his ilk as role models, then they are surely barking up the wrong tree...I would rather look upto someone like Paul Roos, Michael Voss, Nathan Buckley, Adam Goodes, James Hird, Matty Lloyd, etc... who whilst some of them as players we despise and/or love, all work their arses off to be the best they can be on and off the field as opposed to looking to Plebola, Wanker Carey, G'Ablett Snr & co as role models...

They are PAID to play FOOTY and do a few other things in their Contracts.If it's a GOOD CLUB with a GOOD CULTURE,they are EXPECTED to be ROLE MODELS.Especially ifd the words of a GENTLEMAN like DICK REYNOLDS is PASSED DOWN from GENERATION to GENERATION.

I think the "role model" label comes with the territory. It is because you have very young kids who will wear their "idol's" number on their back regardless of what he does off field. No matter what destructive crap they get up to, these kids will always hold onto these guys as "idols"

Not so long ago after Fev had pissed on a window and physically assaulted an Irish barman, I said to a 9 year old son of a Carlton supporting friend of mine "Gee, Fev's a naughty boy". His reply was "so what?"

Then you just look at last Sunday when a group of 500 odd young Carlton sad sacks protested outside the club demanding that they don't trade him. In their eyes, he is always a hero no matter what he f***'n does.

The Mind Boggles at that.I would have asked the 9 year old if he thought it was the SMART thing to do if he WIZZED outside a Shop or Maccas.And if he was a SMARTARSE and said YES,I'd simply tell him,"Well buddy,that virtually means you have ZERO Self Respect!"And leave him to follow his own path on that.Unless his old man has something to say about it of course.Like provide his Own VALUES on being a ROLE MODEL.

Yep - Once a tool, always a tool

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE Brisbane Lions has refused to say if it regrets employing Brendan Fevola following allegations of indecent behaviour.

Fevola has been suspended indefinitely pending an investigation into an incident in a park, in which it is claimed he exposed himself to a mother-of-four.

In a statement this afternoon the Brisbane Lions Football Club said it was investigating the alleged incident, as is the AFL.

AFL general manager Adrian Anderson said this afternoon the League was disappointed to be dealing with such claims.

"The nature of the complaint is... it concerns an allegation of indecent behaviour towards the woman involved," Mr Anderson said.

He said the AFL would work with Queensland police and the Brisbane Lions to investigate the claims.

It is believed Fevola and two other Lions players were at a non-club charity function before the alleged incident took place.

Lions Chief Executive Michael Bowers said in the statement a man rang the club to complain about Fevola’s inappropriate behaviour towards his wife while the couple and two of their four children were at the non-club function.

After the man spoke to the Lions, the club notified the AFL, and then Queensland police were called.

Mr Bowers said if the allegations were found to be true, the behaviour was unacceptable.

“Respect and responsibility towards women is something that this Club thinks is non-negotiable. We feel that the allegation is a very serious one and we think if the behaviour is as described, then it's unacceptable behaviour for anyone in football," Mr Bowers said.

“While everyone is entitled to the presumption of innocence, the Brisbane Lions Football Club wants to make clear it is taking this incident seriously and feels the only proper course of action is to suspend Brendan immediately from all Club activity until such time as the AFL and police have had an opportunity to investigate the matter further."

“The Club will continue to cooperate fully with the AFL and any Queensland police investigation.

“As a result of the suspension, Brendan will not be attending our Club Champion event tomorrow night.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In view of the waste of money he has been this season, am I being cynical by contemplating that Brisbane have allowed this to come out rather than attempt to buy the story to help with their salary cap issues?
Carlton Football Club - Surely a contradiction in terms?

Do people really believe (or expect) that he'll change?

I go back to my original comment in this thread. He aint got many brain cells to start with - and alcohol only diminishes what he has left.
