    I agree, the club would treat this very seriously. They still have a lot of work in front of them and reading the riot act clearly isn't working.

    I'm getting the impression a number of the boys just go through the motions when the likes of Kernahan gathers them in for a stern talk.

    Fighting amongst themselves, sounds like a happy bunch of close and focused footballers to me, problem is it isnt football they are focused on.

    What a rabble of a club and i wonder when Demetriou will step in as he did with another club.

    A friend of mine has a fair bit to do with Eddie Betts and I must admit I feel for him as he appears to be a genuinely good person. I know this incident may have an affect on the charity work he does through a juvenile detention centre with young kids and that is really disappointing as I'm sure both would have been getting something valuable out of it.

    All actions have consequences and some AFL footballers can't seem to understand their actions have even greater consequences such is their status in society.

    Yes, unfortunately some do have bricks for brains. Despite the constant media spotlight and the amount of education put into players by the clubs and the AFLPA some just don't get it.

    Unfortunately these guys are expectionally good at football but they still come from all walks of life and much like the rest of the society they can still be affected by drugs and other issues despite the good intentions of those around them.

    Shows it the culture down there and wasnt just Fev.
    Put them in my huge slider column next year.
    Do feel sorry for the new recruit though, already being lead astray.

    I see that given this is Betts 2nd problem he has now received the maximum of a $10,000 fine.

    If they treated everyone equally there will be no players left at Carlton.
    My christmas reference - Its funny how they thought they were cleansed of their sins by trading Fev but the Club is far from purged from its sinners.

    And they tought it when they got rid of Elliot and then they thought they had got rid of it when Smorgon went and then they thought it was finally gone when Pratt stood down and then they...



    Well you get the picture-that club is rotten to the core and quite a few people on the commitee and high up in administration think that they dont have to play by the rules, that they can take short cut after shortcut and the good times will just role around again.

    In a way they are a bit like the Australian Test team in that they are in all sorts of trouble and they are in comlete denial about the cause of the problem. Until they start to make some genuinly hard decisions they are going to be stuck in the same trajectory that Richmond have been for 20 years.

    Re: Carlton off-season strife

    I did have a giggle about Kernahans statement "$5000 will be the least of their problems when i get to see them on the 4th of jan" He must think its pretty important to wait a week!

    Now thats proffessional, i wonder what more they can get up to in the next week?

    This afternoon the poor bloody kid was involved in a car accident. Apparantly he is OK but the driver of the other car has been killed.

    Yes it's been a dramatic few days for young Casboult.

    What's that club going to get up to next? Maybe Captain Carlton will push an old lady over or something.
    I had a conversation along these lines last night and this morning.

    The day of the Brownlow effort of Fev, he had spent the afternoon drinking or whatever with Juddy. Then laughed at his antics.

    Now on a boat they are forcing a kid to drink - did he sit by and watch this happen as well?


    I am sorry if our players were out representing our club in any form and Johnno sat back while players carried on like these Carlton drop kicks have - I would be mighty disgusted with him, if he did not try to stop the crap.

    Glad that is it that team or any other that is making the headlines - as long a it does not happen at mine - I will be happy.
