Carlton fines Brendan Fevola for drunken antics

CARLTON AFL bad boy Brendan Fevola has been fined $10,000 by the Blues for his drunken behaviour at the AFL's Brownlow Medal count on Monday night.

CARLTON AFL bad boy Brendan Fevola has been fined $10,000 by the Blues for his drunken behaviour at the AFL's Brownlow Medal count on Monday night.

Blues chief executive Greg Swann announced the fine this afternoon.

"While Brendan is officially on holidays, he was representing the Carlton Football Club and the AFL at Monday night's function and much of his behaviour, particularly at the post-Brownlow function, was totally unacceptable,'' Mr Swann said.

"It is very disappointing for Brendan, for Carlton and indeed for the AFL that such an important night for our game has been tarnished by his actions.

"On Monday he did not show the respect that such an occasion warrants and as such we have fined him $10,000.''

Mr Swann said Fevola had apologised for his behaviour and admitted his actions were wrong.
Fevola had already been banned from tomorrow's Footy Show as a result of his antics.

The wayward full-forward was also fined $10,000 by the Blues last year after being caught urinating in public.
