The notable thing from the litany of shame is that the 'superstars' (Tarrant, Swan, Didak, Beams, De Goey, McGuire himself!) are allowed to get away with repeated fu** ups, but the lesser lights are moved on (including one who came our way). I guess they got sick of Chris Tarrant eventually and sent him over west.
Never has been, never will be one rule applies to everybody. The stars always get a break.

They did get tough on Didak and Heath Shaw and dropped them for the rest of the year when they lied to Eddie, Mick, Geoff Walsh etc that Didak wasn't in the car when Shaw blew 0.144. Eddie went off at the media for saying Didak wasn't involved, then was embarrassed when the truth came out. They missed 4 games and 2 finals.

Aug 2008: Heath Shaw blows 0.14 after crashing into two parked cars in Kew and lies about Didak being a passenger in the car.
“Didak will be accused of the Kennedy shooting next,” McGuire said (Classic Eddie the Exaggerator)

This is why Scott Burns was always talked up as a potential coach. It was his first year as captain.

Burns later fronted the media beside a humiliated Shaw at the Lexus Centre. "Bugger him," the skipper said. "We're going to make sure he cops it." Burns effectively said humiliation was a major part of the punishment. Burns will also feel humiliated after he stressed that Shaw had told him Didak was not in the car.

"We want to make sure he's put up here, we're going to put him up Wednesday and the normal midweek one (media conference), and he's definitely going to play on Saturday night," Burns said. "We want him to be in the papers the next two or three days, on talkback radio. He's going to be under the pump and he's got to respond. He's let us down. I'm not happy at all."

Again the afl website displays our prison bars.
They seem to like showing them.
