He hasn’t been shy in offering some controversial opinions on a Channel Ten reality show, and now Shane Warne has Carlton in his crosshairs, hitting out at the club for its failure to “look after” Brendan Fevola during his embarrassing drunken behaviour at the 2009 Brownlow Medal.
An intoxicated Fevola infamously took the microphone for the AFL Footy Show on Brownlow night and proceeded to awkwardly interview football stars and their partners.
While Warne accepted that Fevola needed to take some responsibility for his actions, he also claimed the club, including captain Chris Judd, was to blame for not taking Fevola away from the spotlight.
Speaking on Ten’s I’m a celebrity get me out of here, Warne claimed in a team environment everyone was responsible for the well-being of their mates.
“But, if I was a captain of that club, I would have grabbed the senior players and said, ‘Right, we’ve got to look after our man, I don’t care if we headlock him, I don’t care if we put one on his chin, get him out of there’,” Warne said.
“Get him in a headlock and even if he couldn’t handle Fev, say, ‘Guys, let’s look after our mate here’. If that had of been in the cricket team and someone was doing that, the AB Medal, we would have just got them out of there rather than let him make a fool out of himself and let him go, I think it is absolutely wrong.”
