Doesn't bode well for Fevolicious ...

But then again, with such a large exodus of players recently, can they really afford to lose another one?

At this rate they'll finish below The Suns!

Can the AFL deregister him now he has had some many chances?

Could be a fit for Rugby League though!

The worrying thing about Fev is that he clearly does not give any thought to the consequences of his actions whatsoever. Mostly the things he does are relatively harmless ("nuisance" type charges - obstructing police, flopping it out in public etc), but you'd have to think that that one day there's the risk that he'll not consider the consequences of a far more dangerous act. How long before he kills someone while drink driving, or punches a bouncer in the head and kills him or something like that...?

Fevola has been and will be more of a financial and representational burden to Brisbane. Sponsors will demand his release, they will not keep him on.

The Saints must be kissing the ground Fev walks on for diverting attention away from their current woes.

There are a lot of $'s at stake here and if the Lions are to get out of their contract with Fev (if that's what they want to do) then the cost will be heavy and they'll be a man short for 2011.

A question is whether Fev's behaviour is enough to force a termination under the terms of the contract. Another is whether the AFL would step in and charge him with conduct unbecoming.

After the AFL's handling of Sam Gilbert and friends, you would have to wonder if some drunken skylarking on New Year's Eve would be enough considering the AFL's child protection policy (under 18 by their definition) doesn't appear to qualify group sex (or any sex for that matter) with a 16 year old girl as conduct unbecoming.

I can see some more double standards coming over the horizon.

How can VOSS sack a bloke who has himself been arrested for drunk. Its the Tony SHAW syndrome all over again.

A very sad state of affairs for the Fev but as the song goes/ hit the road Jack, don't you come back for more... sadly I think will be the conclusion.

How many chances does a person deserve?

The AFL has lost all credibility in their dealing with off field issues clearly it's an organisation which is purely politically driven and will only address issues if the census and survey representatives say it's in their interest to do so. At least Fev steers clear of high school playgrounds for his fodder.

Reminds me of a first hand experience when I was young in the 60's. A kid I knew called Tony from the next street was hit by a car driven by a very drunken star player from a high flying VFL club at the time after an end of season [censored] up. Is currently listed on their TEAM OF THE CENTURY list. I didn't see the accident but saw his brains splattered on the cars broken headlight soon after. Tony didn't die but lived out his life as a shrivelled quadraplegic in an institution. He had a hole in his head big enough to fit a mango in it and had the mentality of a baby. Visited him a few times and he passed away only a few years ago. His family are still shattered about this tragedy. I won't mention any more info as this incident is not in the public domain. So much to remind me about this drunken ex player with Fev. Unlike now however these incidents were usually covered up by all concerned so he will be remembered by his football record alone unlike Fev will.

I reckon the Brisbane Lions Fc will see an opportunity here to divest themselves of a recalcitrant player whose salary is so high it causes dissatisfaction amongst their personnel.

This incident may be enough to disqualify him from his contract with the Club.( though let's be rational... we don't know many facts yet). This may be the blessing they were seeking. Is it even possible Brisbane set it up? No ......that's being far too cynical.

I loved it when he singlehandedly beat Collingwood up there last year... a couple of unbelievable goals just when they were needed! Was that Collingwood's last loss?

Brendan needs help, same as he has for the last few years.

The AFL or the clubs he has been at either do not care, or do not understand.

Doesn't excuse his behavior at all, but he needs professional help. The way Brisbane treated him during 2010 was a disgrace, a total lack of maturity.

And I'm sure you're in a position to say what help they have offered/provided...

No i am not, but ostricizing (spelling?) him so quickly after the incident with the park Footy Clinic during last year absolutely stunk. They had no intention of helping him.

All they wanted was distance.

I'm tipping he'll survive this. There's too much at stake in terms of both money and Voss' reputation to axe him.

They'll prattle on for a few days about him getting professional help and voluntarily suspending himself and then he'll be back in a couple of months. Same old story.

If he had've belted someone or exposed himself again, different story. But all he's done is get drunk and mouth off at the police. Crap behaviour but not quite a hanging offence.

He may need help but it doesn't appear he wants it. This is a free country and he does not have to take it. Must be on some kind of death wish spiral. I'm sure this guy has been offered more than his fare share of support in the past. What more can be done for him?

In the old days these guys were locked up in a monastery for their own good. Thats what he needs.

Frankly I don't care what Brisbane does with him. I'm just relieved he or Voss didn't come to us.

It will take more than that to axe fevs contract. If yhey tried, the lions would be eaten alive by any decent lawyer.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
