Not the clubs fault. Entirely Fox Sports and their TV coverage fault with the stupid half time and full time interviews as players walk off the field. 

I disagree, it's not Fox/Broadcasters role to protect players, it's to get content.  Any producer/interviewer not trying to get Fenton isn't doing their job.  If the club has a media manager pitch side they haven't done their duty, otherwise, it's on the senior players to intervene and make sure Louis isn't put in that spot by keeping him away.  If it's true Rufer did that and Louis still went there, it's on him (not that I care what he said, as he is completely right.)

There is no way our media person would have had the ability to get to Fenton before the broadcasters could. They knew what they were doing and doing it for the sound bite. 

 

Captain could have got to him immediately after the incident and at the full-time whistle. Other players couldve been in his ear too and helped him refocus. Remember responsibility, leadership and no excuses coming up a lot in recent times. Success in the a-league is often squad/ dressing room dynamics as much as talent. It goes beyond recruitment. 

As some were saying too, he's gotta wear some of it- he's one of our senior pros.
