Bit rich from Warney blaming Judd(Captain of Carlton at the time), the footy club and any others from not preventing or stopping the Fev brownlow night. Strange that he didnt blame channel 9 at all for giving Fev the mike and the cameras to do his live crosses from the brownlow for the footy show. Fully aware of the state he was in.
But I guess he couldnt torch channel 9. Since they had to go into full patsy mode for Warne after the "Joe the camera man" incident. Warne had a contract with 9 at the time whilst still playing cricket.
For those not in the know, many years ago when Shane was playing a Test for Australia, the stump microphones picked up Warnes voice berating and denigrating his fellow team mate saying "cant bowl, cant throw." Of course this was news. 9 went into full blown CIA cover up mode and brilliantly came up with "Joe the camera man". Joe, a nine camera man, came out and admitted it was in fact him who had uttered those words. From memory, it was quite dramatic. Joe, being the camera man he is, was doing his camera man stuff for a current affair when he was asked to put the camera duties away for a sec and join Warne on the current affair desk to sheepishly admit, that yes, it was he who had uttered those words. It was a logie worthy moment.
Only reason I relate the story is because the Fev Brownlow incident was conceived, condoned and then encouraged by miking an obviously inebriated individual up with a camera man in tow by the Footy show and channel 9.
Strange that Shane fervently blamed others and wondered why noone stepped in.
Maybe channel 9 could have Warney?
