Weekend in clink for Fevola-dousing Bulldogs fan
April 19, 2010
A lifetime Western Bulldogs supporter has spent a weekend in the watchhouse after throwing beer over controversial AFL star Brendan Fevola.
Campbell Paul Davey, 56, of Melbourne, appeared briefly in Brisbane Magistrates Court this morning over the incident.
Davey, who the court heard had attended more than 2000 AFL games, was in the Gabba crowd in the Bulldogs' loss to the Brisbane Lions on Saturday night.
Lions full forward Fevola starred in Brisbane's 22-point win by kicking four goals in the third quarter.
The court heard that while celebrating a Lions goal, Fevola ran towards the boundary fence directly behind the goal posts and started verbally abusing Bulldogs fans.
Other Lions players retired towards the centre of the field.
The court heard Davey threw "a small amount of beer" on Fevola.
The AFL player then told police and security officials who threw the beer and Davey was arrested.
Davey spent the weekend since his arrest in the watchhouse and missed his flight home.
He pleaded guilty to interfering with a person engaged in a sporting event.
The magistrate noted two nights in custody was more than sufficient penalty and Davey was released from custody immediately.

Sign him up to woof! Seriously at 56, you would think he would know better.

Re: Dogs Fan in the clink
Fair enough, you can't do that to players(even morons like Fev).

Re: Dogs Fan in the clink
What a tool, but was it worth 2 nights in lockup? What happened to the slapper who did the same thing to Johnno last year?

Nothing, just public outcry.

Re: Dogs Fan in the clink
He's had this to say outside court.
Outside the court, the paid-up Bulldogs’ fan said he was stranded in Brisbane because friends had taken all his identity papers when he was arrested.
‘‘Mr Fevola came over to the fence and started abusing the Bulldogs’ supporters,’’ Davey said.
‘‘Jonathan Brown had just kicked a goal ... and instead of running back down the ground Mr Fevola ran over and started gobbing off at the Western Bulldogs’ (fans).
‘‘I shouldn’t have done what I did, I accept that.’’
Davey said he could not remember what was said, but some fans were ribbing Fevola about his admitted gambling addiction.
‘‘I got a lot of beer tipped over me by Brisbane supporters, but the police didn’t seem to worry about that,’’ Davey said.
Police had told him Fevola had pointed him out as the beer-thrower.
‘‘I actually thought they were just going to throw me out of the ground, I didn’t think I’d be strip-searched and thrown in the cells and all that," he said.
‘‘I don’t think me (sic) wife will be too happy.’’
As to an apology to Fevola, Davey declined the opportunity.
‘‘He gobbed off at me and I threw some beer at him, I think that’s a fair exchange,’’ he said.
‘‘I don’t talk to idiots.’’

Re: Dogs Fan in the clink
Two nights in the slot for that?
Is Joe back in control in Brisbane?
Perhaps Big Russ has made a comeback.

Re: Dogs Fan in the clink
I'm amazed at the 2000 games part.
Really?
That's 36 games a year.
I think not.

Re: Dogs Fan in the clink
Vossy's all indignant now.
http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsartic...6/default.aspx
Vossy wouldn't have lasted long at Moorabin in the 80's. Surely he played at Vic Park though.
I guess we should be expecting retroactive punishment for Fevola for spilling beer all over other footballer's at the Brownlow.
I know what this guy did was wrong but he spent 2 night's in jail and missed a flight home. I think he's had his punishment

Maybe they mean all games, not just Bulldogs games? :)
I think 2 nights in the lock up is a bit much. Apparently you can throw beer on opposition players though. :rolleyes:

Re: Dogs Fan in the clink
Geez tough justice considering someone did the same thing up there in August! Not condoning what he did but really 2nights for that!
-
Re: Dogs Fan in the clink
I don't think the penalty was too harsh at all. Love his passion, hate his execution. Behaviour like that is way out of line, simple as that.
-
Re: Dogs Fan in the clink
Where is the precedence? Nothing happened to the previous person that did the same thing to Brad Johnson last year. They only wrote an apology.

Re: Dogs Fan in the clink
Jeez, I was embarrassed when I saw this guy on the news tonight. Just the sort of thing we take pride in our supporters NOT doing. As Caro would say "BAD CALL, STUPID CALL, IDIOTIC CALL". Kind of ironic with Fev being the one to point out the perpetrator. Pot and kettle? Penalty harsh in comparison to the woman last year, but it was a dumb thing to do.

Re: Dogs Fan in the clink
Known him for years, played cricket with him for years, top bloke, has a bit of a mouth, but very out charactor to do what he did, he wouldn't hurt a fly, but, stupid thing to do.
-
Re: Dogs Fan in the clink
Certainly know Paul. Played cricket with him for 20 years, used to go the the footy with him and he even went to my wedding.
Very much out of character for him, and I bet he feels extreme remorse.
Interesting to read that Campbell Rose said he wasn't a member, when as far as I know he has been a social club member for years.
Maybe it is time the AFL did something about players running at opposition supporters to taunt them and possibly encite a riot.

Bit different when an opposition fan does the same thing
Two nights in prison. Wow! Thats a long time to sober up!

Re: Dogs Fan in the clink
If only he had offerred Fev a Betting ticket for Lang park trots!!! Fev woulda pissed off for a punt & we woulda won by 5 goals

I hope you are kidding. Whilst I do not condone his behaviour at all to suggest that even one night in lock up is fair is absolutely ridiculous.
To put it into perspective for you, when Hurley kicked and punched a taxi driver he spent only a few hours in lockup.
Quote:
A spokeswoman for Victoria police confirmed a 19-year-old Rosanna man was questioned over an assault following a disputed cab fare in Hoddle St, Richmond, about 5.30am today.
The taxi driver was allegedly kicked and punched but only suffered minor injuries and was not taken to hospital.
Hurley left a police station in Fitzroy just before midday.
If Fevola was in your face giving you a mouthful in the heat of the moment I would hope the average person could summon the mental strength to do nothing in return. But a silly reaction (probably executed in a relfex manner without thinking) to flick half a beer in his face, whilst unnacceptable, is hardly serious criminal behaviour and to be stripped searched and spend two nights in jail? I am no lawyer but I bet they are hoping that he doesn't have the cash for a good attorney because I suspect even the judge realised that it was extremely heavy handed.
I think a far more appropriate course of action would be to eject him for the game, give him an official police caution, and to give him a punishment that actually fits the crime... an approprite AFL or club enforced sanction that prohibits him attending games for a set period (perhaps 1-3 months like a hotel barring).
If you read the report about the lady that threw beer on Johnson, she too was an average footy fan and she seemed sincerely sorry for her actions for the unprovoked attack. At the time all parties involved seemed to acknowledge that it was just a bad judgement call and the embarrassment of the incident was probably punishment enough.

Did you see the footage, he hardly even threw half a cup of beer on his back, I doubt Fev even felt it. Nothing like the drenching Johnno copped last year.

Re: Dogs Fan in the clink
Initially the club was given the member's name incorrectly by the media which led to the confusion as to whether he was a member or not. It has since been clarified & he is a member.

Re: Dogs Fan in the clink
KB and Patrick Smith are all over it this morning, being incredibly sanctimonious, calling it a criminal act (compaing it to a player blowing above the legal limit, lying about it etc.) and saying that the club's reaction was pathetic.
I'm always reminded why I don't listen to those clowns.

They didn't get all that worked up or call it a criminal act when Johnno was doused with beer last year. Idiots. :mad:

Meh.
SEN’s share of the Melbourne radio market is pathetic so any attack on the Bulldogs brand will have minimal damage.

Off topic, but what does this mean? I've seen it written a few times, but have no idea!! :o

Indifference; to be used when one simply does not care. The verbal equivalent of a shrug of the shoulders.

Yeah he has been a member for years, and whilst it was a dumb, well, stupid thing to do, he has spent 2 nights in the lock up, surely more than enough punishment plus the embaressment, i really hope he doesn't get his membership suspended as well.

No doubt another issue which will be beaten to an inch of it's life!Just wondering why that woman who threw a cup of grog on Johnson wasn't thrown out!

Nope. This is stupid behaviour and shouldn't be tolerated. Maybe the inconvenience of two nights in the lock-up and the hassle of re-organising and paying for flights will remind this guy that he is an adult, and should behave accordingly. It's the type of ugly thing (violent swearing and disregard for others also) that makes me cringe when I see/hear/read about it. And I don't see the Hurley incident as giving this any perspective. IMO Hurley got off way too light.
BUT I agree with you 100% on the second part of your response that I have bolded.

Re: Dogs Fan in the clink
Pretty sure this idiot is the same one who copped a beating from a Collingwood supporter at the Dome a few years ago for having an overly smart mouth from first bounce to final siren.
Just when we think our players and supporters are better behaved than those involved with other clubs, up jumps this clown. Time to grow up old man.

Funny stuff getting behavioural advice from Voss!

I agree that the behaviour is grossly unacceptable but it is far from criminal. Therefore suspending his right to attend games for a set period is a far more logical consequence and he still earns a harsh lesson and it still acts as a heavy deterrant for others.
Whether you think Hurley did or didn't get off lightly is almost irrelevant. He didn't. So a bloke who commits a very serious crime walks out of the police station 7 hours later and a bloke that underarms 300mls of beer on the back of a players back gets two nights and a strip search. It is comparing apples to oranges a bit but it still illustrates the point.
If he had of done this in a pub he would be equally the idiot he is but would have got nothing more than turfed out of the pub. I still wouldn't want this type of behaviour representative of our footy club and I too would still cringe, but lets take away the hysteria of a celebrity being involved and see it for what it is.

I find that bit pretty important, what's the difference between a player and a supporter in terms of legal rights for safety and wellbeing? There's no way he deserved 2 nights in a cell for that! Especially when that hag who poored beer all over Johnno got off scott free. Rubbish double standards everywhere.

There'd be no room left in prisons by your standards over the weekend
