If we only knew this we'd still have Fev.
This stuff is always gonna happen cos they are not rocket scientists-just men.
Human. Ask Tiger.
Ask Gilette about Tiger. They just dropped him like a hot spud.
Ask Rolex about Tiger. They just dropped him like a hot spud.
Ask Hyundai about these two. They wouldn't be too happy. It was DUMB. We don't need this rubbish when we are trying to get a sponsor to maybe replace Malaysian Tourism, who haven't renewed their deal as yet as far as I know.
Like it or not, footballers
are perceived as role models by many and even if that is unfair, they are still soft targets and easily identified with the club. This is only slightly less culpable than the NRL player, Nate Myles, wandering the halls of a hotel late at night in his underwear last year. At least Houla didn't leave a turd in the hallway otherwise it would have been the same. IIR, the NRL banned Myles for six matches.
Houlihan is probably in his last year and should be worried about whether or not he is needed in the scheme of things at all and although I think he is in our best 22 ATM, he should cop a hefty suspension. Plus a fine.
Walker has been nursed along by the club for years without giving much back, albeit through no fault of his own and owes Carlton Football Club plenty. He is also in our best 22 when fit but should cop a lesser penalty if the article in the Age is to be believed, whereby he was not the instigator.
With Yarran and company hitting their straps in the near future, we could do worse than set an example of these two as we finally had to do with Fev. Had we smacked Fev earlier and harder, he might still be on the list today.
