Carlton director Chris Judd blasts veteran Dale Thomas for drinking at a charity function, two nights before latest loss.
The Blues' integrity manager, Craig Millar, was investigating the incident involving Thomas at the Camp Quality dinner and was set to provide a briefing to the football department on Wednesday.Carlton will wait for Millar to collate all of the facts and provide a briefing before deciding if they will take further action against Thomas for what they would view as a lack of professionalism.
Judd said he had no problems with a player having one or two drinks before a game, but acknowledged it was a bad look given Carlton's plight. "I'm not one to 'infantise' players - if players have a single beer or a couple of wines over dinner, I don't have a huge problem," Judd told Channel Nine's"Needless to say, drinking, full-stop, in public, two days before a game when you're 1-9, fails the stupidity test, clearly.
