WATCH: Shane Warne slams Carlton over Fev's drunken Brownlow night

Well said mdso. You'll find these same traits among the political elite and at the top of most large organisations.

Fev is responsible for his own actions but the tv network is responsible also, if they should be. Lots of kids stay up to watch the Brownlow so what sort of message does that send to the kids by letting Fev go to air in that state? They'll tell you that they care about people's welfare etc but they don't really. It's all about agendas, framing the stories and ratings.

I've seen lots of feeds intentionally cut mid-interview (never mind prior) when the person they are interviewing says something that they don't want to hit the airwaves. It's pre-scripted for the most part and I'm certain that they had time to cut it if they wanted to but they clearly didn't. Presenters have ear-pieces so that the producers can tell them what to say throughout the interview. They knew that he was plastered and they went to air anyway.

Bit hard to cut the feed at that late stage as that's what they had predicted would happen..

Really, does this require actually being put out there ? I would have thought "The Roar" would have better judgement in selecting "football stories". This article obviously show they are no better than the womes' mags or worse Channel 9's A Current Affair or 60 Minutes.

Did Shane Warne say something ? I must have missed it. Oh well, it would not not have any substance to it unless it was a pill that his mum gave him.

It just shows how ingorant and knave I am

Basically because the players take on board unconsciously, the way the AFL treat most people. Everything has to look good or its not a good look. The role models of every club also have responsibilities themselves, to both their team mates and the club culture. Fev takes responsibility now for his behaviour then but as he says, he doesn't remember a lot of that night. If the AFL Brownlow is second only to the AFL Premiership, why on earth didn't some one in authority step in and remove Fevola. Because!!! Many of the Senior figures at the AFL are simply not good role models. Good at telling people how they want them to behave but not good at living it themselves. If you want proof, ask people behind closed doors who deal with the AFL, exactly what they are like to deal with - its far from good news. There are plenty of examples in the way they gave treated their own people.

It's got me stumped as to why Shane didn't mention channel 9,I thought Fev was working for them

If channel 9 cared for Fev they would have cancelled the feed.

Judd and Kerr were housemates and besties for many years. Don't believe the hype, it wasn't as bad and as widespread as some would have you believe. Look at any current AFL list over the past 3-4 years and you'll find that at least 20-25% of the list will have dabbled in recreational drugs at some stage. The Pies had 10 players on drug strikes or self-reports last year or the year before. Cuz became addicted and a couple of others dabbled too often but that's about the extent of it.

Was Fev under contract/being paid by Ch9 for that little performance ? If so, if he'd been ...bundled out of there...by self appointed minders, they could have been up for some sort of industrial sabotage...

This whole professional celebrity path he has insisted on going down since his retirement is starting to wear thin.

I'm surprised 'Warnie' didn't blame his mum. I thought that was his default response when it came to taking responsibility.

Warne and others here don't seem to understand that there comes a point when your gut says not to rescue addictive personalities from the consequences of their actions any more. Your gut has had enough of it and that coincides with what is best for the person concerned. It's been said over and over again: it is often only at the bottom of the pit that you decide to fight for an existence that respects yourself and others. Many elite sports people seem to be manipulated and/or cossetted through these kinds of things (very often by people with vested interests) so often that there are no consequences to talk of. THAT is real failure of duty of care, SW.

Flabbergasted how people are so willing to divert responsibility from the individual for their own poor behaviour. Fevola gets wasted and embarrasses himself and it's on everyone else? Where do you even begin to unpack the nonsense of that statement? If he had any credibility prior to this show Warne has tossed it out the window with a range of comments on this show. He sounds like a spoilt empty headed teenager - hear him moaning about how tough it was to furnish 15 rooms at his holiday home? If that doesn't inspire a proletarian revolution nothing will. Taking his advice or listening to his opinion on anything other than spin bowling is about as useful as asking your dog.

Channel Nine knew they had a runaway train so they used fevola and then dumped him - same with Warne after the World Cup cricket final..Threw someone in out of their depth...

I was always intrigued by that myself, I wondered why team mates even allowed him in the building, given he must have been falling over himself prior to turning up. Warnie is 100% correct on this.

The feeling is mutual.

Agree with him. Unsure how that was ever aloud to happen...
