I can only assume that you guys calling for blood to be spilled have never got any joy from watching Fev play for the blues over the years. No joy from watching him win games off his own boot, kicking 6 goals in a half of football to get us over the line, taking on Essendon* and collingwood by himself basically. During the darkest period of the club, he won us a Wizard cup, 8 goals and bog in the final, was BOG for the Big V last year (hope none of you enjoyed watching him towel rutten)...again hope none of you took any pride in watching this.
You would be a pack of hypocrites if you did.
I can also assume that none of you will be paying any attention to tonights John Nicholls medal. Was it John Nicholls who had to be let out of jail on weekends so he could play football? Is Fev in jail? hmmm...
I can also hope that none of you supported the blues in the days of the Dominator, when he was carving it up...hang on, the same dominator that enjoyed himself a little too much off the field? and in recent times with mr carey?
Even Diesel, has had some ordinary business dealings since leaving football...off the field stuff again...
You are calling for Sticks to sack him, the same sticks that launched into an attack, rightly or wrongly, on journalists the other year at our function, which was ridiculed across the media afterwards...did you call for his head? did he embarrass you???
You call yourselves supporters of the Carlton Football Club...see the middle word there? Football. Thats right. These blokes are paid to play a game. To chase a leather ball around a field. But they should all be model citizens right? Why? Because of the pedestal that you clowns put them on!
I for one hope that I get to continue to see Fev kick some amazing goals for us over the next few years. I am a supporter of Carlton, has Fev's actions embarrassed me? not a chance. Everyone has a life outside their job, rightly or wrongly, they make their own decisions.
If you cant take that a guy makes some mistakes maybe you should cease to follow sport..because have a look, there wouldnt be too many that you of all such high morals and living the life of a model citizen (obviously you are because you would never make mistakes then call for fev to be sacked for his) could follow...cricket would be out, soccer out, rugby out...
Get a life and give the guy a break. He loves playing for Carlton and he does it so damn well. Better than any of you ever will.
I have always thought that the football media were a pretty pathetic bunch. Generally incompetent, badly researched and unqualified to make the moral and ethical calls they seem to trot out routinely. But you have to give them credit where it is due. It may have taken them a while but they have managed to slowly condition and influence the football public in general to succumb to the belief that they are the group of people that are qualified to set and preach moral and ethical standards whereby footballers are required to live their everyday lives and that we should all be entitled to expect from them.
They are the modern day Moses and they have been spoken to by God and delivered us the footballing Ten Commandments!
We are all caught up with it, the football media and public and sadly even the club. Yep, fev is a terrible drunk. A buffoon and an obnoxious idiot when he is on the grog. Last time I checked, not criminal offences. I don’t expect footballers to live by a different set of laws and standards compared to others in society but others do.
Tonight I saw a glimpse of the news and there are camera crews at Brendan’s front door, stalking him like a paedophile, waiting for him to step out when he eventually needs to get some milk or sliced bread for his kids so they can hound him for all the terrible things he has done. Yep folks, he got drunk and made a dick of himself. The sheer horror of it all! Ofcourse he should be hounded like a criminal. One of the so called journalists even proudly suggested that he can’t hide in there forever, he has to come out eventually! FFS!!!
Is all this fallout justified for a footballer who only ever wanted to play on the big stage and have some fun? It’s a disgrace. There may be a ravenous market out there for this gutter journalism and that may justify this carry on but I certainly won’t be feeding it. I’ll be honest, I am a huge Fev fan. He has given me tremendous joy as a Carlton member for many years. AFAIC, he is on par with Sticks, Diesel, Dominator & Kouta in terms of players that I have admired and loved to watch in my time as a supporter. I will be devastated if all the suggestions that he leaves Carlton are true.
In an ideal world I would’ve preferred he didn’t behave the way he did but FFS talk about over exaggerations!
