Fev stumbles through night Herald Sun | September 23, 2009 What are these?
IF the Brownlows was dubbed the Boozelows, then Carlton's Brendan Fevola was the sure-fire winner.
Only moments after the medal ceremony, the Carlton spearhead was seen holding two Crown Lagers and a microphone while hosting Street Talk for Channel 9's The Footy Show.
And Fevola did not hold back as he simulated sex for the cameras, puckered up for some unsuspecting WAGs and bystanders, and swore black and blue while interviewing players and guests.
Accompanied by a cameraman and sound assistant, Fevola had several mishaps, including knocking a full bottle of beer out of Western Bulldog Adam Cooney's hand that went flying into the crowd.
The outrageous footballer lurched and fell on to a barricade as Carlton skipper Chris Judd and girlfriend Rebecca Twigley came to his aid.
Holding a fist full of notes, Fevola then tried to pay a waiter more than $500 for giving him free alcohol.
"Just keep it," Twigley said to the confused waiter as she tried to steady Fevola. Even stern and heavily pregnant on-again-off-again wife Alex could not calm down the wobbly Blues player.
"Brendan, I'm telling you, stop drinking," Alex said.
"But I just did Street Talk," Fevola slurred.
"Oh yeah, that went really well," Alex said.
Richmond's Nathan Brown took over Fevola's Footy Show duties, as the Blues bad boy continued to party hard.
Fevola was seen on the balcony at the River Room, where the after-party was held, smoking cigarettes in the rain and vomiting.
Crown security kept a strict eye on him as he slapped players in the face, only to then passionately hug and kiss them.
"I love you man," Fevola said while embracing team mate Marc Murphy.
"I really, really love you."
As the party finished and the music died, Fevola took to the stage and sang DJ Otzis cover Hey! Baby acappella style to an amused crowd.
At 3:15am, security asked him to leave, but he tussled and swore with guards, before his Carlton teammates ushered him out the door.
It is believed Channel 9 chiefs are furious with Fevola's conduct and it is believed the Brownlow Street Talk segment will not air tomorrow's night show.
It is believed the wayward Blue will not be part of the top-rating, season-ending extravaganza.
