Bad Blues

Quality again REB.

Carlton are a flat out disgrace. If they are going to get rid of Fevola 'cos of alcohol related issues, they must get rid of at least 4 others if they are true to their word.

[MatteeG]

Awesome work REB. Has been a while since you've provided a "Rebulated" tune...

Merry F$5king Christmas Blues! Judd = problem... and we thought it was Cuzz et al...

Not sure if you are right there. Has Judd himself caused problems? These other peanuts can get the boot like Fev

Just havin a dig Turbs....or am I?

To be honest thinking a bit more bout it boys will be boys. Its nothing much differnet from what I've encountered recently out and about with my mates.
We can start criticising when these players are not performing on the field and this remains to be seen. Time will tell in a few months

[Turbo]

Although I will agree when these guys are in the spotlight it doesn't look good.

The 2010 AFL season is of to a great early start...
As I've said before, these "jocks" should be kept in cages between matches.
[And I don't just mean the ones at Carlton.]

A MELBOURNE family's Christmas has been shattered by the death of a young driver in a horror head-on smash at Dandenong.

The 21-year-old man from Dandenong was killed when he lost control of his car on the Princes Highway about 10pm last night.

Police believe the young man's 2002 Nissan sedan crossed a median strip, near the intersection of the South Gippsland Highway, and collided with an oncoming Holden Astra.

The other driver, a 19-year-old from Berwick, is helping police with their investigation. Authorities will prepare a report on the accident for the coroner.

Metropolitan Ambulance spokesman Ray Rowe said the man, from Dandenong, died at the scene.

The other driver (19) happened to be Carlton's rookie Levi Casboult who was involved in the end of season xmas boat cruise saga where he was barely conscious from drinking too much and now survives a head on crash this morning.

He certaintly has had an interesting week.

Trouble seems to follow Judd. WCE are a responsible club again and now the Blues have all the dramas.

If you read the article, you would have read that he was involved, only in the way that the other car hit him. All the information I have looked at about this was that he was driving in the other direction to the man that lost his life. And I believe for some reason the other car came over and hit his car. I have not details about the incident, I have only seen a small amount of information, which suggests he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. However I understand the police are investigating as the other driver lost his life and is very sad for his family.

I think its important to note that no other information is available as of yet, but I dont believe this incident is connected to any of the other blues indicents.

He rang his dad to come and get him that day. Im not sure the exact circumstances, but there is more to this story than meets the eye (im talking about his dad coming to pick him up after a day on the booze).

I don't think Judd really gets up to much in the way of shenanigans. Although a great player, he's a piss poor leader.

He did once say that footballers shouldn't be role models.

I agree with that statement.

[Psyber]

I agree with that statement.

I agree, too, but immature people who watch them, and admire their skills, tend to copy their other behaviour too.
They choose them as role models, whether they should be or not, and whether they want to be or not...

All society can do to preserve general quality of life is be careful who is put on display in front of these immature observers.

I can see three options for the preservation of a polite and safe society, each successively more difficult:
1. Anyone who chooses a career that puts them in the public eye has to accept that that inevitably makes them a role model, and behave responsibly.
2. Administrators, or the law, have to be responsible and remove them from the public eye, so they don't become or remain role models, if they won't behave.
3. The immature must be banned from accessing the media....

Any other options?

[Hondo]

I agree with that statement.

They probably shouldn't be .... but they are. That's life.

There's no "role model" court where a public figure can go an claim immunity from having kids look up to them. That's not to say the kids will blindly follow everything their favourite player does. If someone looks up to you then you are their role model. You can choose to respect it or ignore it.

I think it's a cop out for a well-liked sporting person to say "well, I never set out to be a role model so I'll do what I want". Mate, just playing sport at the highest level pays you a well above average wage for doing something you love and at the same time makes you a public figure. Get over yourself and suck it up for the short time you'll be in the public spotlight.

Honestly, I think the footballers who are idiots off the field are a shrinking minority these days.

[McAlmanac]

Ex-Blue Glenn Manton has been a role model since leaving Carlton.

A quote from a Carlton supporter forum

Hoops, Walks and Eddie stood down from the club until the end of this month.. Will be training with he Bullants. They will also miss the entire NAB Cup, which means they'll probably miss the first couple of H & A matches due to being underdone...
