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)

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
