Apparently Ratts was happy for the work he was doing OFF the camera. The run, the chase of the wags, carrying drinks back from the bar.

He thought his concerntration and work rate was second to none. Probably the best since he's been at the club.

Big tick for Fev.

..forget about it.. ..Fev slipped as far as he did in his draft cos he's a knuckle-head.. ..10 yrs later, married with near 3 kids and he's still a kunckle-head.. ..most likely, he always will be.. ..he still by far has a 'victim' mentality, as if everything bad somehow isn't his fault, i've yet to actually see any open, honest apology or self-assesment come from him which is truely his own, and not written/managed for him.. ..he hasn't gone a year without goin' against what ever self-improvements he's promised to deliver..

..as for Judd helping him, fat chance.. ..he has got into as much 'mischief' with judd here, as without him being here previously.. ..numerous coaches, presidents, ceo's have all tried and failed.. ..i wouldn't trade him, but severe club action needs to take place.. ..cut him off from all media events and have a word with any other media folks fev has dealings with for them to pull the pin, offer another star blue to take his place if they have to..

..still far too much of a boys boozin' culture at the blues..

Geeze, look at the media crew following him around, and the HS crew waiting at the front for the first sign of something "non-news worthy" to report.

The so called "news" media in this country makes me sick.

Fev = Warney

"I had to eat"

This whole "incident" is smply gossip.

To quote the Cohen Bros - not sure I quite agree with your detective work there Goltz...

"If we expect CFC players to be A grade citizens i think the members should be too."

Incorrect - the CFC players are very highly paid members of an industry which relies on the footy going public, the corporate world and the television networks to fund it. Given the success of the industry, the players will be front and centre in the public eye like it or not. if you don't like it don't sign a contract - simple. There are 40,000 members of the CFC (and countless other supporters) who have expectations as to the behavior of those that are given the HONOUR to wear the CFC. When you damage the CFC brand you damage all elements of the club - the brand, the professionalism, the reputation and ultimately the on field performance.

As for your list ... i think Fev's antics (Stole clothes from a laundramat, put a barman in a headlock in Ireland sent home from Australian team, urinated on a shop window in public five days before the first game of the season etc etc) are very comparable with your list and ...

* Didak in car with bikies with bullets shot
* Heath shaw/didak crash a car drunk.
Didak and Shaw were suspended for 6 weeks inc finals and both followed up with best ever seasons
* St Kilda players accused of rape.
Week administration that didn't take action - Butters and Thomas have since been replaced and look at the result
* Collingwood player caught drink driving - lose TAC sponsorship
Point proven - they lost TAC sponsorship - sponsors don't grow on trees
* Wayne Carey sleeping with another players wife
Kangaroos have never recovered from that
* Buddy Franklin in fight over the weekend in Perth.
*Tarrant in fights
Fev's accumulated antics are far worse then these...
* Ben Cousins doing drugs.
Yes - and look what's happened to that club since...lost spiritual leader (Cousins) lost best ever player (Judd) and struggling at the bottom of the table...

And if it's true that Gibbs g'friend was in tears then that's problematic. Remember what happened with one A Hammill. All it took was a few ill chosen comments from John Elliot and we lost a great player. I'm not saying Bryce is going to return to SA cause his gfriend got upset, but sometimes when something's on your mind it doesn't take much to tip your decision one way or another.

It's 2009 - to all those that say all he did was get a bit drunk etc you're not seeing the big picture. If your club aint professional then you won't win the big one - simple as that. And the club IS the players. No more excuses cause he's just a bloke having some fun. If it was Swan, Icke or Ratten doing the same thing would you be so forgiving - of course not.

Number 17 - come on down!

Well said Mrs C the whole issue is to have fun and have a few drinks without going too far and offending people.
Unfortunately Fev doesn't seem to know when to stop, and takes it that step or two overboard. His singing was
harmless, apart from offending my ears with being out of tune.

_________________
Don't look at me, I'm irrelevant....

There are 2 constants in this. Fev is flower, always will be. Ch.9 employ him as a flower and are counting on getting a few extra viewers tuning in to see his 'Brownlow out-takes'.

he's a boofhead. but i love him.

that he has a drinking problem as per goltzenberg's post (ie could you imagine if he realises he has got a problem now and doesnt drink for the rest of his career and gets help. Thats the positive l hope comes out of this.)

wasnt too hard to figure out what I was referring to

It was bloody hard to figure that's what you meant. What's i got to do with you, me or goltz if Fevola drinks or not?

Fevola's antics are relatively harmless in the overall scheme of things.

Take a look at Fevola's highlights on you tube and then consider how important it is to keep things in perspective.

The media feed off tripe like this, usually ignoring more important issues in order to fill their paper or airtime with rubbish that they pass off as newsworthy.

Its that time of the year again.

AFL grand final.

Spring racing carnival

Time to put the veggie patch in.

Fev makes a public dill of himself.

Oh here we go again

"Sack him" "Trade him" blah blah blah

He got pissed? So @#$%&! what? Who here hasnt been pissed and made a fool of themselves? As someone said, he didnt shit in the corridor, he didnt punch Ratten out, he didnt glass a chick, yes he was being a boofhead and a clown, but thats what I love about Fev. Oh and what a LEGEND he is for telling those two Superfooty blokes that they have no @#$%&! idea, they are not funny at all!

Also, someone tell me what he is doing wrong in the video where he is singing? Sensationalised crap!

Yes he acted like a clown, but gee he and other players have done a lot worse in the past

Seriously a large number of you on here need to lighten up about things, this place is like the prawn sandwich brigade

I'd be the pot calling the kettle black if i had a go at Brendan for his behavior...i played sport professionally for 8 years and 'unwound' on numerous occasions. Unfortunately for Brendan, when he unwinds with alcohol, it's in the public eye. That said Brendan needs to cop a fine from the club and apologise in person to everyone he insulted. And if I were in Greg Swann's shoes, i might go as far as saying "if you touch a single drop of alcohol at the Carlton B&F, you're in real strife and I'm not @#$%&! kidding, Brendan".

Fev's an embarrassment to himself, his family and the club.
He's lucky that he's a talented footballer, that's all he's got going for him, as a person he's a moron.
When will he ever grow up?

I can't belive Edelsten's fiance is 26 years old. How old is he? 60?

Honestly what was more embarrassing? A pissed Fev or a socialite tart with her fake tits hanging out for everyone to see?
