BIRDS AND BOOZE
It is well documented that drinking is to blame for most of the trouble young footballers find themselves in, but why do they feel the need to get on the booze in the first place? Brad Fittler raised an interesting theory in the latest issue of The Beast, a free magazine delivered to homes in Sydney's eastern suburbs. ''Fair dinkum, and you can write this, they're chasing chicks,'' Fittler says. ''Mate, they're 23, they're training, they're fit and they live in the eastern suburbs. They want chicks and they're here, there are heaps of them. A lot of the boys are pretty shy. They come to Sydney and they've got their little insecurities and a lot of them can't just walk up to a good-looking bird unless they've got 10 beers under their belt. I was like that. They want chicks - that's the answer, chicks.''
