Fev caught on camera in wee hours

Ox - I was just trying to point out the double standards - as we know chocolate contains caffeine (a drug) - and one that I enjoy especially while the major stores are peddling it so aggresively atm.

The fact that alcohol is legal yet is known to kill many people every year is what I was trying to highlight. How many people die from cannabis overdoses?

Dr Alex Wodak (one of the world's leading authorities on AOD issues) made a very impressive submission to Bronwyn Bishop's 'Winnable War on Drugs' inquiry last year about how cannabis should come under a similar tax regime as alcohol and tobacco and the revenue could be taken out of the pockets of the drug dealers and go towards helping people experiencing problems with cannabis (btw a small percentage of those that use the stuff). A compelling argument I thought. Bishop labelled him 'a drug industry elite' who was undermining her governments zero tolerance approach.

Prohibition does not work, we have evidence from the failed alcohol prohibition that is very clear. We need to look at alternative approaches.

Another example is the new crisis we face with the strong 'afghan brown' heroin that is now on the market in the bigger cities (not yet here in Tassie though). Howard claimed his tough on drugs approach had led to a fall in use of this drug. In reality they just switched to what was more readily available on the market - ice, speed and cocaine. Now the market has changed again and we are witnessing a new wave of heroin related deaths. Will we ever learn?

I still think Fev has brought the game into disrepute and should be investigated and suspended by the AFL as a serial offender. We need to take a zero toelrance approach to pi**heads.

MFC take heed, you don' t suspend your best players :angry:

The day we start following the CFC, is a bad day indeed.

By the way, Sylvia never was, nor is he currently one of our best players.

if it was neitz it would have been a fine, and a public apology. it was 5th year player sylvia who hasnt lived up to his potential and is increasingly showing he doesnt want to grow up.

unfortunately in fevs case he is immature and one of their best players. he could have used a suspension, but is too valuable to carlton.

i think we are getting in to a bigger issue here than whether fev is a ding bat, because we both agree he has done the wrong thing. i think we both also agree that alcohol can cause big issues, and often it can cause bigger issues than illegal drugs.

RE legalisation of other drugs, im not sure i agree, because it is likely that this will simply result in a pile of other drug related diseases and symptoms, which we will then have to attempt to prevent. there is a reason why these clandestinely produced chemicals are not available on the free market, and that is because the true effects of these drugs is not known. we understand the short term effects, but have no idea of what they are actually doing. alcohol is a rather simple chemical which occurs naturally in our diet and has been exploited for commercial reasons. mdma and thc for example are not part of everyday foods. they dont have any health benefits associated with them. im not sure government control of these substances would make them any safer.

If it was Neita, he wouldn't have a long list of previous incidents. Everyone deserves a second chance, but Sylvia has had more than enough chances, as has Fevola.

Funny how Fev was suspended last year for a smaller incident, when the Blues weren't all that keen on winning. Double standards?

There has been a shift in agenda. The focus for 2008, at least at this point, is seemingly to actually win matches.

Fev was ALWAYS going to play.. this IS Carlton after all. If anything Melb is currently leading the way re team sanctions. I suppose its good to be leading something !! lol

What this shows is actually that Carlton isnt as confident of itself as it makes out. B)

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
