Fevola given his 'last' last chance

Carlton have followed the lead of the AFL over the Eagles issues and Mick Malthouse over Alan Didak's misdemeanours and given troubled forward Brendan Fevola his 'last' last chance.

Fevola has many of off-field misdemeanours ranging from several traffic offences to being dismissed from the International Rules series after assaulting a bar man.

Initially Brendan denied urinating on a shop window at 4.23 am and then assaulting a security guard, but the video footage was conclusive, you cant mistake the full forward's 'mulletesque' hair. The 27 year old will play against Richmond on Thursday night with the Blues newly formed leadership group, including recently appointed captain Chris Judd,  electing to remove him from their leadership group, fine him $10,000 and ensuring he undergoes alcohol counseling.

This afternoon  Carlton's chief executive Greg Swann said “Unfortunately when he gets out and it’s late at night… too much alcohol problems happen,” “He wants help, he needs to get past these things because obviously it’s not only just his football, it’s a problem for him outside of football as well,” Swan also assured the media that, “If there are any more alcohol related incidents then that will result in him being terminated by the Carlton Football Club.”

Chris Judd did not comment on the latest misdemeanours despite being the most experienced club captain in dealing with players off field problems.
