This whole episode has been blown out of proportion. Sure it was a stupid thing to do, however what are the media's role? To try and make the biggest story they can.
Grand Final week, VFL Grand Final player, Geelong player, Drunk, Police.... of course they would be all over it. There was no assault, and he only was subdued because he ran. If it had of been half way through the season would it have been headline news? Sure it would have got attention but at the end of the day he is an AFL footballer who made a mistake whilst letting his hair down.
Once again the media have shown how they will do anything for a big story. In my eyes, Johnson got drunk at the end of the season (something he is rarely able to do) got into trouble and made a very poor decision. Is that worth delisting?
Steve Johnson was in trouble a lot more times than this and got his 6 week rest. A delisting would be way too harsh ... especially a player who constantly backs into packs, never shirks an issue, plays for his teammates not himself and delivers well by hand and foot. The word selfish doesnt come to mind when thinking about David Johnson.
