What's worst for him is neither do those who know him. It's all very well to blame club and AFL culture but at the end of the day you're responsible for your own behaviour. It's not as though Fev is an impressionable teenager or a young footballer still living the high life.
Agree MT that he needs to take responsibility for his own actions (been saying it for yonks) but his ex was right as well, the culture of the AFL & particular the CFC played a role. Facts are top players get special treatment
For 10 years Carlton allowed him to get away anything & everything and as for the AFL why they didn't punish him for his pathetic behaviour on that Brownlow night still beggars belief... so there is no doubt they can share in some of the spoils of the blame.
To hear Lloyd on SEN & then Darcy on "One week at a time" last night saying it has NOTHING to do with "Culture" was laughable. Especially after LLoyd admitted that Essendon did treat their top liners differently when dealing with poor behaviour over lesser name players. When asked by Maher "what did you do about it?" Lloyd said "er Nuffink, I had not say".
