So it boils down to your belief that

  1. Fev is unable to overcome his flawed history and will repeat his past negative behavior
  2. the MFC culture is too delicate to cope with a bad Fev
  3. MFC should not take risks to win footy games now
  4. MFC will win a Premiership without taking a risk

As a counter I believe that

  1. Fev is can overcome his flawed history and will perform well for his third team as he seeks redemption
  2. if the MFC culture continues to be mollycoddled it will never mature into the winning culture we all want
  3. MFC should be able to chew gum and walk at the same time, i.e. aspire to win footy games now and build a premiership team
  4. MFC will not win a Premiership via a risk adverse, accountants approach to micro-managed performance graphs, player development and statistics.

Both viewpints are valid, I'll just get more entertainment and fun out of seeing Fev run out for the MFC next year against the Blues...

Please Please stop this Fev talk!! My breakfast is still settling. Fev will still have major problems in the world when he is old and grey, I say that sadly.

I like Fev, and he is not altogether stupid, but he has chemical imbalances that must be managed daily.

He will not play for the MFC...we have young guns growing for that.

I wish Fev all the best, his last interview on Ch 7 was a beauty, but we do not need another "Quick Fix" Recruit. We have had more than enough of them.

Just be a little patient Paul.

Better tell that to Dougy too WYL lol. Anyone hear him on S.E.N. this morning?

Fev has much to prove, mostly to himself. A nice fairytale if he can come out and prove that he's not as washed up/carrying unplayable baggage & scars as is being suggested by all his doomsayers. Be a shame if he wastes all that talent from here.

It's not like he's bashed someone silly etc. Just got a problem with the jolly juice. Aint the first and wont be the last in the AFL to have had that. 25 - 30 years ago his misdemeanors off field wouldn't have rated much.

I for one hopes he can overcome his addiction to the pale ale and whatever other vice/s he might be having problems with, if any, and comes out playing some great AFL footy once again, regardless of the club.

Good luck to him.

He might even kick arse out there IF he makes it back. (As long as it's not ours and he doesn't put a filth/hawks/bombers/crows jumper on lol)

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
