Wayne Carey knows a lot about stupidity. Getting coked off your head and smashing a glass into your girlfriend's face is stupidity.
I can't believe some of the stuff posted on here excusing Stevo!
Hell, if we stuffed up like he did in our workplace we wouldn't be off on an all expenses paid holiday, we'd be down at Centrelink looking for a new job.
AFL players and some fans reek with a sense of entitlement that is disgraceful to true working class people. Why do we contantly excuse poor behaviour from rich young footballers? It's a serious question.
Stephenson offers the world nothing special in life, he just has a particular talent for kicking a leather bag full of wind. And for this we pay them a relative fortune. Had he not had this ability I'd venture to say he'd be down at Centrelink himself as part of the massive youth unemployment problem.
Stop excusing bad behaviour from kids who are no more special than our own children (who aren't famous). Frankly I'm sick of him!

So why do you care then? Nobody asked you to follow football, or have any interest in what the players do on or off the field. Maybe you should take a look at yourself and recognise that the reason you get to switch on the TV or rock up at the game and watch our team win matches is because of brilliant players like him with elite skills, on-field loyalty to his teammates and strong work ethic. So maybe he does offer the world something special after all.
We all know that he made a bad decision. Since then, he has copped his right whack, and is seemingly doing everything asked of him by the club to redeem himself and ensure that he's ready to go when his suspension ends. Fair enough, some rubberneckers saw a picture of him online and thought it meant he was slacking off; but now that they know they're wrong, they should be big enough to admit that they were being presumptuous and unnecessarily judgemental. But if you'd rather keep mouthing off and look like a sanctimonious fool, be my guest.

Considering how his suspension destabilised the club (and it did), and fans rocking up to every game suffering through the schlock we’ve been serving up since the bye... yeah, he deserves to be a scapegoat for our anger and frustration. And he’s meant to be delivering meals to the elderly but didn’t turn up, nor did he front up in Africa to build an orphanage with Bono. He should have his nose rubbed in the players’ socks after every match!

All expenses paid holiday? I don't think the club paid for it as he is holidaying with his family. Heaven forbid if his parents paid for it.
If you stuffed up at your workplace most likely you would not be straight down to Centrelink as employees are protected by workplace law.
