Carlton suspend Betts, Walker and Houlihan for a month

CARLTON players Eddie Betts, Ryan Houlihan and Andrew Walker have
been further punished by the club in the wake of the team's
alcohol-fuelled unofficial Christmas breakup cruise, with the board
slapping one-month training bans on all three and making them
unavailable for the 2010 NAB Cup.Betts was arrested in the
Melbourne CBD for public drunkenness, while Houlihan and Walker were
thrown out of Crown Casino for similar behaviour.All three have
already been fined $5000 by the Blues, the maximum allowable under the
collective bargaining agreement, with club president Steven Kernahan
saying the trio went close to being sacked, and skipper Chris Judd
admitting that binge drinking was a problem at the club.Kernahan
spoke at the club's Visy Park headquarters on Monday afternoon and said
the board had been forced to act given the nature of the incidents
despite preferring to remain uninvolved in football matters."They
will be suspended from the club immediately for a period of one month,
and during this time they will complete all training away from the rest
of the player group, and with the Northern Bullants," he said of the
three players."They will also be unavailable for selection for
the NAB Cup, and we know this will impact on their preparation for the
home and away season - clearly it was completely unacceptable."Kernahan
said he spoke with the players early on Monday morning and brought up
the fact Brendan Fevola had been forced to leave the club in similar
circumstances, issuing a warning that the players would not want to
push the board any further.Judd, who was on the cruise along with the rest of the leadership group, apologised to those affected by the players' behaviour.He said the players took full responsibility for the debacle and promised action."While
I can only offer words today, I pledge that our actions in the future
will do justice to the commitment we have made to the club," he said."We
give our word that it won't happen again, but it's impossible for
players to talk their way out of a situation like this, you really have
to behave your way out of it."The captain highlighted that the
incident exposed a dangerous culture of using alcohol as a reward, but
said an alcohol ban was unlikely."What we have here is a group
of players who go for pretty long periods of drinking no alcohol or
next to no alcohol at all, and then use alcohol as a reward system for
hard work or sacrifices they've made," Judd said."Using alcohol as a reward leads to binge drinking, and binge drinking really has no place at this club."We
fully acknowledge that binge drinking is causing some pretty serious
problems in the Australian community, and as role models, we don't want
to be a part of that."

I think the only reason they weren't sacked altogether was the fact there is a whole seaon ahead

Anywho - thats not good enough from them. Especially Betts, who needs to do more up forward in the absense of Fevola.
