Mr CleanskinNICK Malceski swore off the demon drink this season because he didn't want it to affect his footy.
In another year of alcohol and drug-fuelled scandals across all football codes, it makes the dashing 22-year-old Swans halfback a poster boy for commonsense.
Malceski's self-control and determination to become the best player he can be is a lesson a lot of footballers would do well to learn.
"When Mum got remarried on January 18 I had a big weekend - after that I thought 'I'm going to try and not have a drink until the end of the footy season'," Malceski told The Daily Telegraph yesterday.
