Title: Ottens, you idiot
Post by: Bulluss on September 09, 2006, 04:21:19 PM
Brad Ottens was last night caught drink/driving, blew more than double the limit (.115)

Well done Bradley, that would have to be your best performance all year.

He may need a driver for a while now, any interest?

I reckon there is one poster here who may be interested  ;D :shh

The Geelong Football Club has fined forward Brad Ottens $5,000 and will receive education on the trauma caused by drink driving after being caught exceeding .05. The sanction is the maximum allowed under the AFL player code of conduct.

Half of the fine will be donated to Road Trauma Support Team, an organization that assists people affected by road trauma in Victoria, and the other half will be donated to the AFL players’ association charity fund.

Ottens met with Geelong chief executive Brian Cook and senior coach Mark Thompson on Monday and he also spoke with the club’s leadership group in determining an appropriate punishment.

“There is no excuse for my actions and it is now up to me to win back the respect that I’ve lost from this incident,” Ottens said.

“I am truly sorry and I understand the impact that drink driving has on people’s lives. In the end it is up to me to prove through my actions that I have learnt from this and to help educate others to not make the mistake that I made.”

Ottens will lose his licence for 11 months and will be fined $450 after being found over the limit at 1am on Saturday.

Geelong promised him he'd be part of a forward line with Ben Graham, Kingsley, Stephen King, Ablett and Chapman. It all fell apart the day Otto arrived when Graham bailed to play in the NFL and with King spending most of his time in the medical room. Being at a club that lives in its own little glass fishbowl and overrates its own self-importance doesn't help either. He's the pussies' problem now  :wallywink.

Good chance his mark vs Sydney will win the mark of the year. Gets a car for 12 months if he does. It would stay in pristine condition seeing he's lost his licence for 11 of them.  :rollin
