That Clubs don't care about there Players once they are not at the Club?
So which club wouldn't have punished him?
If he doesnt want to play for a club that punishes him for drink driving then in this day and age he doesnt play AFL.
Simples.
Pure speculation on your behalf.
Good decision by the club. We can't afford to pussy-foot round. With that reading he's a lucky young man; he could so easily been involved in an accident that led to a gaol sentence.
It reads to me as a last chance. Two strikes down next step, out. I think that's fair enough. The word has been consistent from inside the club that he's not popular and has an inflated sense self worth. His career is in his own hands now. I hope he can turn it around.

And that message is what is most important here.

Agree. Loved how the Club put it up to him and himself Only
I am completely speculating here but I get the impression that his work ethic and general attitude at the club must also be pretty low for them to take this action. People can compare him to the likes of Adams who from what I understand can still be a bit of a Lad off the field but Adams leaves no stone unturned when it comes to getting the best out of himself. I reckon most players would not care too much about the odd off field incident but get pretty P!ssed off when it comes to players who don't work hard enough.

No, they fined him and won the flag instead.

You keep repeating this as if the club is somehow being driven entirely by media etc, but thats not how I read the release.
If there was pressure, it looks like it came from the playing group, or at least the playing leadership, not from outside. I dont think your narrative is right.

They were soft. Drink driving is serious mate. People die all the time from dick heads who drink drive.

Do you mean done nothing at all or not so harsh?
Let me get this straight: you think Collingwood is spineless for punishing Jordan for drinking and drinking at 0.097 BAC?

People would not so Lite on De Goey now IF Someone Close to Them Dies because of De Goey Driving Drunk
Agree, it is a very serious matter. Hence why the Victorian Government has one of the harshest drink driving penalties across Australia - and rightfully so.
The double punishment, I struggle with. Is this more about perception for the club? I dont know.
But this is fact, he is being double punished, not many other industries dish out double punishment - not even Judges (who frequently get done drink driving)
Pretty poor from his mates to let him drive drunk. Especially since they know he's a footballer and has already had warnings.
From this and the club's comment about rethinking his associations, make me think some of his old mates might be, well, bloody stupid knobs...

Yep. Not their business and outrageous they think its fair to fine him $10K. Way over the top, done to appease the baying masses and against the clubs own interests.

Seems pretty straight forward to me. You sign up to an organisation, you adhere to their set of values and expectations, which I am sure CFC lays out for the players frequently. If those values and expectations include that as a representative of the club, a player must conduct himself in a certain manner off the field (ie not wilfully break the law), then a player who contravenes them should be appropriately sanctioned by the organisation.

Yep I know a judge who left the races got done for .05, came back and found his car and drove off and got done again. Kept his job, no extra fine, no community service etc etc.
