Well they probably can't handle it cos they barely drunk all year

I see what your saying, but why would single footy players wanna stay at a house n not meet some single hot chicks when they are out. Its discrimination against footy players doing what everyone else can do with a bunch of mates. We are only talking one day of the year, who cares.
North melb did the party at home thing, and carey got caught with stevens missus, club doesnt need that

..i don't care at all, if they don't actually cause any trouble.. ..i'm just saying them, and everyone,, if they can't handle their booze/drugs, they shouldn't go the whole hog.. ..and if they still wanna go for broke, in that case keeping it private and not public would be the way to go..
