CibbuanoGrant admits to drunken behaviour
July 15th 2008 03:25
NORTH MELBOURNE Shannon Grant has revealed his club-enforced suspension was influenced by a previous incident.
Grant was forced to sit out Saturday night's thrilling two-point win over Port Adelaide at AAMI Stadium following an incident at a sponsors' golf day.
It is understood the prior warning came from an altercation at a Lionel Richie concert in December that resulted in Grant being subdued by police with capsicum spray.
The 31-year-old said his latest indiscretion wasn't a major incident.
"I previously had a warning from an incident that happened last year and, as a result of that and being a little bit loud and boisterous at the club supporters and sponsors golf day, the club decided that a suspension was to be put in place," he said.
"I accepted that and pretty much tried to move on from that.
"There was no major incidents. There was no major issues that actually happened from the golf day. It was just a matter of having a previous warning and having a little bit too much to drink on the day.
"The club has a pretty strong players' code of conduct, I'd had a warning from last year and I accepted the club's decision."
