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.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
