Fev's 13-hour bender

[Sin City]

straight swap for Goddard I heard

Why not pick him up in the PSD instead?

[Sin City]

But I heard he used to barrack for Carlton

Cut Chris Judd some slack

Judd and Kernahan had both urged Fevola to quieten down during the count.

"I told him to settle down at one stage because I heard his voice. He was yelling out to (Nick) Riewoldt," Kernahan said.

"After the count (at the after-party), I never saw him and I was there 'til 1.30."

He asked what Judd could reasonably have done with a player who required half a dozen security staff to remove him.

Cut Chris Judd some slack

Thank God Fevola's behaviour wasn't as bad Walker's and Houlihan's.

I may be alone here, but frankly I could not give a frogs fat arse about Fevola any more.
I just can't get wrapped up in what he was for the club, the dark days etc. etc. etc.
He got paid well for his tenure with the club, then shat on us.

Not my friend any more.

He suggested he might have been a little more proactive had he been Fev's captain and sitting alongside him, as would Mark Maclure, Jimmy Buckley and Wayne Johnston, but a punch in the mouth might have created more problems than it solved.

I have met Mark Maclure in the past... and he is one placid sort of person and if he wanted to put one on Fev, then Fev was WAY beyond any sort of control outside of someone who is trained to put people on their asses in club, pubs and casino's..

I think that if I had been working at the Crown as crown control, then I would have been hanging one on Fev myself one the night...

AFL to tackle Brownlow bingeing: CAROLINE WHINGES

■ Significantly reducing the pre-dinner drinks, customarily lasting close to three hours, and potentially bringing forward the count from 8.30pm to 7.30pm.

■ Banning the serving of spirits, serving alcohol only when requested and increasing the availability of light beer.

■ Serving food more regularly throughout the night and increasing the variety and availability of soft drinks. Last year only orange juice and water were widely available.

■ Rearranging the seating in Crown's Palladium Ballroom to place footballers and their partners at tables with club officials.

■ Continuing to work with clubs to discourage a ''Mad Monday'' culture.

■ Shortening the official post-Brownlow celebrations and possibly restaging the after-party away from the official venue.

■ Encouraging the host broadcaster to remove any emphasis on players' drinking after receiving votes.

■ Empowering Crown security, along with AFL staff, to remove heavily intoxicated attendees.

Can we trade Caro for a league journo from up north?

It wouldn't hurt.

The league journo would know more about footy...

(AFL) Culture.

The peak authority of our game after 150 years of self-congratulatory onanism more recently televised into the lounge-rooms of babies and domestic pets alike has now decided the appropriate blueprint for this flagship presentation ceremony is a primary school trophy pie-night. Took its ****ing time.

 

[The Coach]

Maybe they can still call it the Brownlow Medal but if half those changes are put in place we will have to call it the Fevola Count
