Bah,

Fame
Decent Looks - Fitness
Public Sympathy
Notoriety
Connections

And a year off footy to do whatever the hell he likes.

I'd spend the summer at least doing whatever the hell I wanted - THEN clean up my act when really down in the gutter / half dead and buried. Bugger being at home knitting on the couch talking to a shrink.

The football public love a reformed champion no matter what the AFL nor the Mass Media say.
