If the players had a rule amongst themselves about no drinking x hrs before a training session or game, then so be it. If the club high performance group imposed the rule, so be it. Either way, if the rule is in place, it must be enforced, its the only way the culture will be improved. The only person who can judge if this is an overreaction or BS is Daisy himself. By the sound of it, he knows he farked up and is prepared to make amends. Same rules for 1st years as 10th year and 20yr players. Does it penalise the club and jeopardise our chances of winning? Probably. "Pay the price" is what John Kennedy Snr used to say.
My issue is with the punishment rather than the rules. In my view, we have a tendency to go overboard with these things. He's been a model citizen for ages, why not just give him a warning ?
The other thing is who is actually being punished ? We have no seniors as it is. Why leave him in the magoos when we desperately need a win. I think we punish ourselves more than any individual. There's some fine tuning required to how we deal with these issues - too draconian for mine.
