He doesn't have anything much to answer for, so logic would suggest he won't receive any sort of punishment.
Can anyone confirm that there is a curfew at Carlton he was breaking? I haven't heard it mentioned before that we have a curfew. Does this mean Fevola has to leave his own restaurant and go home so as not to break the curfew?
Fevola said without any hesitation that there would be no video footage of him urinating. There isn't any footage of him urinating anyway, so he can't be held responsible for something that is impossible to prove.
This chap who has been in the media a) wasn't injured, b) didn't call the cops, c) is not making assault charges, and d) has played the incident up to the media to great effect.
No patrons have come forward in the media to back up claims that Fevola was urinating on the window.
The CCTV footage does not show Fevola urinating on the window.
All up there was a bit of a push and shove which was all over very quickly and Fevola moved on.
There have been no reports in the media about Fevola being blind drunk, either at the cafe or anywhere else in Melbourne. He was out late, with his wife, but as has been suggested they have a business which opens until late at night. If 1 and a half hours after the incident Fevola was still out and about, one would think he would be completely off his face by 5.30am yet nowehere has this been reported.
It's quite possible that after work Fevola likes to unwind, which could mean staying up for a while after the restaurant is closed. It's irrelevant what time he stays up to. Lots of people who work into the night don't just go home and go to bed. Saturday night would be the restaurant's busiest night too, so it's no wonder he and his wife were winding down. They may have only closed up a couple of hours before. Either way, it's got nothing to do with anyone here how late Fevola stays up.
There really isn't a case to answer to. There wasn't even a fight. Pushing someone who was abusing you verbally can lead to a fight, but it didn't, sane heads prevailed and there was no incident. This wally from the cafe just wants to get his 15 minutes of fame.
According to this article with Carazzo, who sounds light years more mature than Fev, there is no rules in place just an expectation that players will put the team first -
