Sugar in strife doing a Fev / Out of North game plus $5,000 fine

[Little Jackie]

ideal opportunity to strip him of his captainancy.
Captains lead by example.
Club should make an example of him and therfore ingrain a hard culture at the club, but no, it wont happen.
Fine him a few dollars and they will say we are all moving forward.
Any joy from last thursdays win has quickly been taken away

I cant beleive anyone would be so stupid. Worse than the Fev case as Fev wasnt charged.
Interesting, he must of been pretty well intoxicated to be arrested, most Police would say just go home , although peeing on a Police Station wall is un heard of. Also, where was his partner at the time if it was his 30th Birthday celebration ??

Maybe the policewoman was a peeed off Carlton supporter  .

The only reason Fev wasn't charged was because the owner of the Candy Bar didn't lay charges. In Sugar's case the cops could see him through the window  .

It's all good

The man is an idiot.
I was the B & F and few years ago and I was waiting for a taxi outside the Plaza Ballroom, hailed down and was just about to open the door for my wife and I to jump in. and Captain Courageous barges in and says this is mine, I looked at him and said who do you think you are?
He backed right off.   My wife commented when in the cab what behind hole. She doesnt follow footy either. She was right

this seemed to happen in Adelaide as well, as per anothers post on another forum.
serial offender is Kane

[rogerd3]

by all means fine him and suspend him but all this hyperbole about sacking him etc is OTT...he has disgraced himself the club and the jumper but it seems some on here live in ivory towers.

Joel was interviewed walking into training and said in his opinion Sugar shouldn't lose the captaincy. It was only a blip on the radar and Sugar's behaviour and leadership prior to this had been exemplary.

Sugar apologised for his behaviour when he spoke briefly to the media.

Miller to talk to the media at 10am.

The club has killed the story quickly but Sugar is very very lucky to keep the captaincy.

Miller on SEN:

Sugar is speaking to his teammates currently. Miller said there'll be no curfew for players and it's a completely different situation to Fevola as it's Kane first misdemeanour. Possible there could be further actions taken by the leadership group but the players are 100% behind Kane and have supported him. He'll keep the captaincy.

[Little Jackie]

Just goes to show that the people running the show at Punt Road have no balls , and this translates to on field performances. Only a footballer would think to pee on a Police Station
How could the players respect him.
As for curfews, Greg Miller should see what Terry Wallet had quoted earlier on in the year about the players being a tight group and knew what was right from wrong.He also stated about the curfews on nightclubs and drinking( someone on here will find the article) Its obvious that the left hand doesnt know what the right hands doing at punt road , Miller and Wallet should compare notes before they go to the media in the future

And we were laughing at carlton.  What a joke.

Our club should be ashamed of themselves.  1st offence, big deal.

Why do you barrack for this rabble Gonzo? Lets hope you didnt have a kid brother you sucked into supporting this rabble at a young age. Please tell us your not guilty Gonzo

[gonzo]

Weak as pee Richmond,  should have lost his captaincy at a minimum.

Is this what you want your kids to do, don't worry about a toilet, pee anywhere you like.  What a joke.

Ramps, do you have a problem with my comments.  Do you think Johnson should be given the keys to the state.  How can we turn the losing culture of this club around with decisions like these.

What crap.  We can now be officially called the Toothless Tigers.

[Ramps]

I reckon the penalty has been light, I agree with you Gonzo.

[mjs]

I think the penalty is about right.

It's not as if he gets off - he has a fine, loses a game, gets publicly humiliated - that's enough. To lose the captaincy would be a life time punishment plus more financial penalties. He has a clean record.

wrong

he should haVE LOST THE captaincy Full stop

its not a life time punishment, its a one yr..one and also fixes a big problem at the rfc. without sugar as captain, we could proceed to pick our best 22, because sugar is no where near in our best 22

we must be the only team in the comp that does not have a captain who is in the best 22

tigers are weak

Rex on 3AW said he should have got 3 extra weeks but not lost the captaincy.

Mike and Walls said he should remain captain.

All said it's not a capital offence. There's bigger issues in footy. So let's get on with it. Everyone has done it down an alley way.

Robbo on SEN said his immediate reaction was "oh no Kane". He said I guess the club had a choice EITHER to make a statement to the rest of the world that they're moving into a new era OR stick by the captain and tell the rest of the world to get stuffed. They obviously chose the latter. Some people might say the core values and culture AFL clubs preach don't stack up when the crap hits the fan. Robbo would like to know if Sugar did resign and the club told him no.

Licuria said from a players point of view it's important at this time of the year for the players to stick together so he said the club and players have done the right thing. It does weaken his position as captain a little but he has the credits and it's what he does from now on that matters. If it was Bucks who had done it in Licuria's time then he'd be the type of person to hand over the captaincy to Clement.

One of the ones on SEN said they could've handed over the captaincy to Richo for a year.
