The drinks are on Beamer..

That was my first thought. But then I realised that his drinking may effect how he plays next week and as a leader it sets a bad example for the young guys and others who aren't playing well (half the side).

My stance on it now is - I don't mind that he likes a drink, but stick to a few and an early finish until we win a premiership - then get absolutely smashed!

I don't expect or want our players to all be saints, but, I think being hammered at 2:30 during the season isn't up to standard especially from a guy who bleeds for the club.

This is exactly what Bailey said & pretty reasonable, he did not have a curfew & he was allowed to have a few beers. The issue was that he was out very late & was so wasted he wasn't even sure whether or not he'd pissed on the bar

As much as I like Brent, I have to say it's pretty unprofessional for a guy in a leadership position to be getting absolutely smashed and staying out very late during the season. That's no way to set an example for a young and, most probably, impressionable list.

Deserved to be stripped of his leadership role, and to be honest, I don't think the club really had any other option.

I think you got this right cannons, but lets not forget that after a win at your footy club, the first thing you want to do is have a beer or 10.
But the club has got this one spot on, suspending him would have penalised the club, removing him from the leadership group penalises him directly and sets a standard for the young group.
