Brendan Fevola

Heading into season 2007 the reigning Coleman Medalist has only one thing against him in his quest to win back-to-back goal kicking titles, and that is the return of Matthew Lloyd. Everything else is working in his favour. A stronger midfield, the emergence of forward line support, a deeper more efficient ball-winning midfield, a more confident Carlton side in general along with impressive personal pre-season form.

Within general society Kerr’s taxi jumping and other misdemeanours are frowned upon, and should most certainly be punished. However, one must remember that outside the world of professional athletes, such antics would usually only result in the punishment handed down by the courts and not a $20,000 fine from an employer and the associated intense media scrutiny. This raises the following questions: has Kerr been harshly dealt with? Does the punishment fit the crime? And should sportspersons in general, and AFL players specifically, be judged any differently to the common citizen? (more…)
