Gee pal- you look a little like him too.

HaHa, he looks a sight for sore eyes, but, what a talent... And his character, brilliantly played in an absolute classic.

Kid Shelline,,,,, just a little like our talented, but troubled Fev... Turned up as a drunk, from the stage coach trip from Cardboard Alley, to da Gabba. Messeurs Voss & ??? there to meet their new hired troubleshooter,,,, only to wear a concerned frown, all the way home.

But the flawed Hero comes good. Just a touch of humour,, from a classic past,,, to lighten February.

yeah and with Fev comes Aker.....

yeah and with Fev comes Aker.....

haha classic, get Lovett in too.

Close this thread... retarded.

The Akermanis rule: if a player has a falling out with a playing group, there may be extenuating circumstances and the player possibly deserves another chance. If a player has a falling out with two playing groups, he is a complete [censored] in every way.

In 3 words.... no, No and NO!

It worries me that Casey is keen. We want Casey to be a training ground for the young players on our list.... not a Fev-centric media circus

Kill this thread please..

As stated perviously there are only two considerations

1/ Talent - undoubted talent.

2/ Fit for the team/playing group, team ethos and culture - undoubtedly NO.

If we were considering Davis cup tennis singles - then maybe. But this is a team sport and he has no place in a team enviroment.

I am little bemused by people saying "well, its Fev and its his personality and what major crime has he committed to be treated by the Lions as he has - who doesnt go out on NYE and kick their heels up ?" ( not necessarily on this thread or site)

I pose this question - if it is no big deal what Fev has done, then lets consider two players on your list behaving like Fev, how about 4 players ? how about half the list going out and behaving as Fev does ? Is that a problem ?

There is a certain standard of behaviour required of footballers in the team enviroment and Fev has been a constant and repetitive failure.

Some bad boys do make good - some don't. When it comes to 44 other players on our list I am prepared to punt on signing a player with form queries, with injury queries but personality queries ? no ! I for one did not want Ben Cousins. I did not want Aker. I did not want Barry Hall. I do not want Brendan Fevola.

fev is finished.

fev should vannish for awhile then try come back into the media.

fev would be a great replacement for sam newman on the footy show...in years to come.

Yeah, I get it. Imagewise, the AFL can't be seen to be kicking a man when he's down so they've given him the green light to play in the VFL.

Correct-Akermanis told Royal and West whom both was at Visy Oval watching the Bulldogs last Saturday that Fevola was being pushed towards Casey or Coburg.

Bailey's already said no to picking him up before.

In 3 words.... no, No and NO!

That's 4 words.

apart from all the obvious issues he has, has anybody noticed that he is a lazy player on the field as well? never makes a good second effort, and is often seen looking disgruntled at his teammates when the delivery is not what he expects. Not a team player in any way, no thanks!!!

Read the part about Fev's performance on the recent trip to China. Read between the lines.

We DO NOT want this bloke at Casey around our developing young kids.

The cheek of Velocity Sports. Trying to offload us a Fevola and messing our heads with Scully.

Ah, of course, the all important "body language", where premierships are won and lost

Everyone needs to stop saying all this crap about "developing young kids", "not good for the playing group", Just face that we would be better off with Fevola at full forward than not. He is a champion full forward, he'd kick goals for us and he'd win games for us. At a footy club that is the most important thing. Yeah he's a character, yeah he's been in trouble many times but he's a man who can kick goals and we can build a forward line around. That's our missing piece as far as I'm concerned, I was upset when we didn't get Hale (although obviously Fev is way better than Hale). For Brisbane he played some great games even with Brown next to him,he was lazy sometimes but I think he was hard done by by giving the sack and he has a couple of good seasons left in him so i think we should at least give him a go at Casey and see what eventuates from that. Think about the Bulldogs and Barry Hall.

When you are older and wiser you will realise that you have to do more than just kick goals and win a few games to be a net benefit to a footy club.

When I'm older and wiser Fev won't be around, and please don't judge me on my age. Well, I don't see how kicking goals and winning games wouldn't benefit our team. That's what footy's all about. Especially if he brings us into the finals. He'd bring more supporters to the ground, give the Demons more publicity, boost our membership sales and imagine this: Jurrah weaving through a pack, handballing to Fev in the goal square and snapping through a game winner to the punt road end of the MCG. Imagine Fev, Jurrah, Petterd and Watts embracing each other after goals are kicked and teaming together to create a championship forward line.

That's what Michael Voss said to his club over the 2009 season......We all saw the results.

It's a nice dream to wake up too, but it is far removed from reality.

It's a dream that we should at least try and turn into reality. There's a difference between us and the Lions though: we have Jim Stynes. Jim already showed his appreciation for Fev on his twitter page so I think he would be a great friend to Fev and would chat to him on a regular basis and provide great advice to help him be a good club man. I also think a lot of Fevola's angst in the off-season was just the frustration of being injured and the season at the Lions hadn't gone as planned (however, I know that's no excuse for his behaviour).

As i have said on other threads...i wish Fev all the very best, but i don't think an AFL club is what he really needs. If Fev came to Melbourne he would need 24/7 care. That is too much to ask

But by all means i hope Fev goes down to REACH with Jimmy to talk to some kids.

I have seen Fev talk to kids at the Royal Children's Hospital, he is great with kids.

But i think his AFL days are gone

Then why did you mention it?

I just think it is naive to believe this bloke is going to get us to where we want to be.

He would be a cancer on the group.

And Jim Stynes is not a cure-all for the woes of those around him.

As Al Pacino said in Any Given Sunday, "there's a point where this game has to be about more than just winning games of football..."

Fevola does not belong at MFC and anyone that thinks he would be a good fit there is unfortunately not very intelligent.

Fin.

Hey guys thanks for all the support. Decided to give footy one more crack. Any VFL clubs who want to talk please contact Velocity Sports.

Fev to Demons???

...

Computer says ... NO!

Why bother, Bailey will just play him on a wing anyway.

One of the best one-liners I've seen here!
