Fevola the gambling addict

Featured Replies

 

And he adds yet another string to his bow.

Are me and Sam Newman the only ones who couldn't care less about this? Honestly, they wasted an hour on the Footy Show - and I say "wasted" even compared to most of the crap on that program - "breaking" a story that all the people to whom it actually matters (Brendan Fevola, Michael Voss and Fevola's family) already knew about. So Fev has a problem with gambling, you say? He's getting it treated, you say? Then why should anyone but him get involved, I ask.

Half the stuff in the paper isnt 'news' these days.


Care factor.............. ZERO

Just another cashed up mega bogan to throw away his coin..... nothing new, nothing special, who cares! He will be belly up within 5 years of retiring from football.

Don't know about the Hun, but the article in the Age was as dreadful a piece of 'journalism' as one is likely to read. There was hardly one relevant fact in it; the word 'rumours' was used many times. We had unnamed 'sources' (saying things like his monthly pay had already been used to pay back debts) and such hyperbole as 'half of Australia' knows about his gambling problem, which later in the article became 'all Australia'. Things like the failure of the restaurant were thrown in when there was no link established to his gambling debts. Furthermore, there was no reason given or even hinted as to why anyone should be the least bit interested in anything this nonce does or does not do. Junk.

 

This crap is dug up and peddled as 'exclusive news' by guttersnipe 'journalists' like Craig Hutchison.

Vote with your wallet and don't buy the newspaper or watch the shows where they air it.

If you must ... read them for free online.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
