he looked like Jonah on that footage.

I'd be amazed if the younger players were looking to Fev to provide an example.

If any of them aren't aren't looking at Judd for an example then they're not bright enough to make it anyway.

Fine him, make him do some community service, but don't suspend him. That penalises the club, his teammates, the supporters and doesn't do anything for Fev's mindset.

I wonder what we could have got for both Fev and Whitnall in 2005.

They both had good trade value back then; now Red has gotten the sack, and Fev's trade value has dropped due to off-field indiscretions.

It's a bit late to be whinging about Fev's behaviour now.

We've had plenty of chances to correct his behaviour, or move him on; and we chose to put up with his petulant, childish behaviour.

We've made our bed, now we've got to lie in it.

I find it funny that Caroline Wilson admitted to drink driving when she was younger around 18-19, but jumps up and down over someone pissing in public.

Anyone realise Footy players are not role models and they are all human.

Isnt it ironic that not that long ago, footy players will go out and get drunk and go home. Never had curfews and no one cared aslong as they played good footy.

Whats changed now, demteriou has come in and told the media players not being perfect citizens at night have will be sanctioned. So what this means is that the media are looking for any little thing to make a story.

A few years ago this wouldnt of been a story before demteriou, its a bit of a joke. I know a million people that piss in public and sure he shouldnt of been out at 4am but sometimes u gotta piss when u have too and who knows maybe fev was just saying can i use the bathroom and got turned away, so he was bursting and pissed.

Would u rather a carlton player pissing on a garden in public or pissing his pants in public cos he cant find a toilet?

I bet 90% of people in this forum have pissed in public, its a joke

I wanna see Carlton win on Thurs, not suspend a player over something like that which is a beat up
Come on go the blues

Some of the crap being written in this thread is astounding

he didnt piss on a garden bed - he pissed on someone's shop front whilst they were trading and in full view of customers. Thats pretty disgraceful.

It wouldnt have been too much effort to find a discrete alley/side street within a couple of minutes where he could have done his business. Also lets not forget that he would have been in walking distance to his own restaurant.

Frankly if he was that desperate, he would have been better off pissing his pants

Why punish the rest of team. Unlike Johnston of Geelong we'd struggle to cover for Fev, being our gun key forward. I'd hate to miss the finals by one game after losing to Richmond by 5 pts without Fev. Players/supporters would be really p1ssed. Give him a fine, removal from the leadership group and a suspended sentence. Something like that hanging over his head all year might keep him in line.

I have read a few posts saying we should've got rid of fev, and that we should suspend him for 6 weeks. you gotta be kidding me. Did you guys see his game against the dogs...the guy loves the club and defends the club all the time...sure he does stupid things, but lets put it into prospective, it's not that serious of an issue. If there is anyone left in the afl that can kick 100 goals is fev...

we'll see what all you doubters say when he kicks 8 goals on thursday...

Yea true
but, this isn't a football issue,its a police issue. Let the law sort it out.

The AFL should stay out of all issues and let the police sort the issues out.

For me the Carlton Football Club pays Brendan Fevola to play footy games. I pay a gold membership to see Carltons best players on the field, not be suspended cos the AFL is trying to clean up the image. It will never happen, players are young and will always wanna party.

I wanna see Carlton win and if we lose Fev for Round 1 we will lose the game. I dont wanna see that for a pissing incident.

Let the police sort out issues and leave it at that. The American sports NBA, NFL, NHL all have off field issues 10 times worse and they let the police sort out the issues, why cant the afl

I couldn't agree more but then again it's a forum board, it attracts hysterical crap. He has a p!ss, ok for you and me but for a footballer who kicks around a bag of wind, it's different. Given he was up at 4am, punish somehow but let's not go stupid and emotional.

Going for an early morning run, had a bit of Whisky to warm him up, needed to take a leak no biggy....build a bridge.

If this was Fevs first indiscretion then by all means let him off lightly/with a warning. If he was younger perhaps you might be more lenient.

Players are young? - FFS, Fev turns 28 later this year - he isnt a fresh faced draftee.

Fact is Fev has an entire history of off field incidents - adultery, drunkeness, violence, road incidents (much more than just the 60 in a 40 zone), late nights past curfew etc - and that is just what we know of - I've little doubt there are many more incidents that havent made it into the media over the years. There has also been the 'minor' issue of multiple on field indiscretions/incidents

Yet supporters (particularly the younger ones) continue to hero worship him - a large part of that is because as a club we have completely failed to discipline fevola. What type of example does that send to the young fans out there? More importantly, what type of example does that send to the playing group?

i am sick of people using afl footballers or sports people all together, and saying what kinda example are they setting for kids. How about letting the parents raise the children right...i didn't try to emulate any of my sporting heroes or acting stars or whoever, you know why, because my parents brought me up right.

How about we let fev do what 90% of guys do when they go out, and then let him do his thing on the field. Some people on this forum are acting like english fans, who just love taking down their star.

I don;t care what anyone else says, he is a star, and he did nothing that bad to receive the treatment, he's been getting. Sure he's record isn;t that great off-field, but as long as he gets the job done on-field, i don;t care

lets hope he comes out and kicks 10

Fevola needs to be better prepared.

Fevola spent the off season being operated on to repair a body that has been decimated for your entertainment value ... and then people get on here and attack his character for a minor incident by today's society's standards (football profile aside). It is disppointing sure, but some people's reactions to this are ludicrous.

Oh for pete's sake.

I put some money on Carlton and 3 other teams in a multi. I was counting on Fev. He is a complete w@nker and I am sick of this. When will these serial pests grow up.

Spot on Donstuie. This crap stretches back how far now, to the fire extinguisher incident at the Uni? Even longer? How many chances does he need.

I cant believe people think its alright to pee on a shopfront window, doesnt matter who it is its plain wrong.
