Anyone who has been to one of those will realise that does not equate as 3 to 5 standard drinks. Usually you have a single bottle on a table of between 8 and 10 people and get about 1/2 to 2/3 of a standard serve per course spread over 2 or 3 hours!
That is not even certain to have someone Daisy's size over the legal drink drive limit in Victoria!
Put that in context of seeing Stephen May consuming Pots while in injury recovery, and the relative media response to the two incidents!
I said at the time, the bigger issue was that the club knew with rumors persisting that senior club officials attended the same function. I felt that Daisy was falling on his sword to save the club from further embarrassment if those facts got out, but now it appears they will anyway!
It's all guessing....even for the folks who were there, how much Thomas had to drink.
It's doubtful someone was sitting there going.... one, two, two and a half...
If the waiters were topping up the glasses Daisy probably doesn't even know how much he had to drink.
Another unknown is was his behaviour reflected his drinking?
No-one sees to have commented on that but if others from the club did attend (and attendance and over-indulging is not an issue unless you were training the next morning) they would probably have given those making any judgment a good report of what transpired.
Wilson only broke the story that there was a problem being investigated.
She didn't create the situation or the fact the club was looking at it. She only reported it.
Someone (and it would have to have come from the club)has given her that information.
That's maybe a story in itself.
Photos of the event either show someone who's sloshed or someone just having a good time depending on what interpretation you want to put on it.
It's all just speculation.
The bottom line is the players have made the judgement (believe that or not, that's the clubs position) and Daisy has accepted it.
