interesting read.
BRENDAN Fevola's Brownlow night of shame has been revealed as a 13-hour bender that began on Crown's VIP blackjack tables with skipper Chris Judd.
While Fevola appears set for a trade to the Brisbane Lions as early as Thursday, the Herald Sun has uncovered fresh details of his drunken disgrace.
Police and liquor licensing authorities have spent the past few days reviewing casino surveillance footage as part of their investigation into Crown's handling of the Fevola fiasco.
The Carlton spearhead is first seen gambling with Judd in the high rollers' Mahogany Room at 2pm - about six hours before the Brownlow Medal function began.
The pair are seen sipping drinks and losing about $2000 each playing blackjack.
Fevola's big binge comes to an end 13 hours later when he is seen being ejected by casino security staff just after 3am.

At one point the wayward forward is seen running from the Crown Palladium room during a Brownlow commercial break to play a few quick hands of blackjack on his own.
A Victoria Police spokeswoman told the Herald Sun its joint investigation with Liquor Licensing Victoria was continuing.
"The inquiry is ongoing and at this stage no charges have been laid," Sen-Constable Mia Paterson said.
Licensing sources have told the Herald Sun that Crown is likely to be fined or sanctioned for irresponsible service of alcohol.
Fevola, who remains holed up in his Gold Coast hideout, could also be presented with a fine upon his return to Melbourne.
Police are believed to be shocked at how much free alcohol was flowing on the night, with waiters carrying trays laden with beer.
But it is believed the worst of Fevola's behaviour took place at the Brownlow after-party in the nearby River Room, where casino cameras do not operate.
Casino spokesman Gary O'Neill said that all available footage had been provided to police.
"Crown has a very co-operative relationship with the police and the police are aware that all footage of Brendan Fevola on the night of the Brownlow Medal presentation has been handed over to them by us," Mr O'Neill said.
The Brownlow booze-up was the final straw for frustrated Carlton officials, who have shopped Fevola around at this week's AFL trade week.
Brisbane came to the party on Wednesday, offering to secure Fevola in an exchange for Lions pair Daniel Bradshaw and Michael Rischitelli.
The deal is expected to be formalised on Thursday.
