Is there a dumber athlete in Australian sport at present than Brisbane Lions spearhead Brendan Fevola?
The latest allegations involving Fevola and his behaviour at a non-club function are obviously still being investigated and just like everyone else he deserves to be presumed innocent until proven guilty.
But if there is any truth to claims that he misbehaved at the said function - which was attended by other Lions - and that he did in fact expose himself in front of a couple and two of their four children, then the Lions have no choice but to cut him loose.
Immensely talented, Fevola could have stamped himself as one of the game's all-time greats at his original club, Carlton, but countless incidents during his time there meant that the Blues' patience wore thin and he was shopped around 12 months ago.
There were few suitors for his services even though at that point he had booted 575 goals in 187 games, including hauls of 99 goals in 2008 and 89 the following season, but Lions coach Michael Voss, believing the club was on the verge of pushing for a flag, threw him a lifeline.
How Voss must now wish that he had resisted the urge to trade for Fevola because not only did it mean that club favourites Daniel Bradshaw and Michael Rischitelli were put off side because they were put forward as potential trades, but they eventually had to let Lachie Henderson go.
Bradshaw moved on to Sydney at the end of last year and the decision to offer him up as trade bait seems vindicated by his injury struggles in 2010, but the promise shown by Henderson and the fact Rischitelli has now also walked out meant the Lions needed the Fevola gamble to pay off.
At his best, and he showed glimpses of that this year, Fevola was capable of turning a game in a hurry with his sublime skills and was hugely popular, but at the opposite end of the spectrum, when things weren't going his way, he would sulk like a child.
But having brought him to the Gabba because Carlton no longer wanted him, Voss quickly had to deal with off-field headlines relating to his recruit, firstly because of his gambling addiction and then when a nude picture he allegedly took of Lara Bingle was circulated earlier this year.
Fevola was cleared of any wrongdoing on that occasion because there was no proof that he had distributed the image of Bingle, with whom he had an affair in 2006, but by then Voss must have been wondering what he'd done.
A bright start to the season seemed to have consigned those issues to the past but trouble was never lurking far away.
There were even rumours that he and skipper Jonathan Brown had come to blows at a barbeque at Brown's house because Fevola had offended a team-mate's partner.
A promising start by player and club fizzled as the season wore on and Fevola failed to play out the year because of injury, but instead of being out of the limelight he finds himself front and square yet again.
No doubt Blues' coach Brett Ratten and president Stephen Kernahan would be glad they rid themselves of that headache last year after plenty of off-field problems during the Fevola era.
But when rugby league types - long used to
