I think a warning and a fine would be sufficient. It seems bizarre that we won't fly the flag for one of our blokes when they get injured, yet we come down hard on someone for a minor drinking incident at a charity do.
I understand the winds of change sweep through organisations from time to time. e.g the changeover from Malthouse to Buckley. Buckley was keen to remake the joint in his image i.e more squeaky clean, so he moved on Didak and others whom he thought would hinder that change. And clearly Bolton seems more like Buckley than old school coaches. But there is always some discretion and interpretation that needs to be applied when deciding on a punishment. And I think frankly the club has erred.
