I just want to get an idea of other members thoughts on this and I thought where better than demonland forums? I believe Fevola would be a gamble but this club needs to start taking some gambles coz being safe has gotten us nowhere! He would stand strong one out in the goal square and take pressure off our youngsters. He's in outstanding form and I think we would be kicking ourselves if he goes elsewhere and kicks 100 goals next year which is well within his abilities. Am I alone?

There's already a poll running on this one mate.

The nays have it about 55%-45% as I recall.

Beat me to it RR.

And there is NAFC he will be there.

Sorry should have looked harder... Wonder how many of those who weren't even willing to think about it went to see the team play at Casey, saw him at quarter time 3 qtr time and after the game getting around the young blokes and pumping them up. Making lead after lead and not cracking it once even tho they kicked it over his head or too short time n time again. Put him on the minimum hell I'll even chip in some more $$$ to help pay his wage with a clause that says any breach of team rules will result in immediate dismissal with no payout.

I'm with you Muzze, but sadly, I don't like our chances.

Haha no not Fev :-p and I don't like our chances either sadly but the question was more if supporters thought we should not if we would.

 

Considering he's nominated for the draft and with a nominal fee, I really think we should look at him. Doubt it would happen, but if it did we could possibly put a clause in his contract regarding his own conduct on and off-field. This could relate to his pay and dismissal should anything occur.

Also the fact that he's nominated on the base salary I reckon is a good indication that he's just keen to play some football.

I think we would be kicking ourselves if he goes elsewhere and kicks 100 goals next year which is well within his abilities.

Massive myth. Fevola has never kicked 100 goals in a season. Got close one year with 99, but in 12 seasons he has averaged 52 goals per season.

Even without the terrible history, the question should be "would you recruit a 31 year old ,who has not played AFL for 12 months, and averages 52 goals as a stay at home full forward, for a season when MFC are years away from challenging for a flag?"

No chance.


I'd take him as a rookie only.... if you pay peanuts, you get champions :lol:

I've been a 'no' for a long time, but I've been thinking about the prospect of having Brendan Fevola in the forward line... and I have to admit, it's pretty exciting. He's been at rock bottom, and I do believe in his determination to "win back respect".

If it were up to me, I'd seriously consider throwing him a 1 year contract, with a misbehaviour clause similar to Brisbane... except we won't be paying him $750,000 a year.

He's been at Casey for a whole season and our footy dept would know better than anyone how far he's come - I'll put my trust in them.

Apparently (I heard) it is 98% sure that he will sign

Only problem is who with, or sign what?

200 members $20 each for 10 weeks =$40k there's his wage for the year no risk to the club i'd be in that!


Not another Fev thread :huh:

How bout we just hand him the number 31 and move forward! Couldn't be any more draining on the club than the $culls saga this year eh..... or could it :rolleyes:

I'd take him as a rookie only.... if you pay peanuts, you get champions :lol:

Champion of what?

Never won anything other than a personal honour.

I just don't think the universe believes he deserves it.

And quite Obviously that Universe has turned against both Melbourne & the Tigers. Don't you think? Why would that be???

What ?!


I think he is saying Fev is a chronic loser that will never recover and his exploits are pretty well known, thus any chance he had of being picked up is overridden by his stupidity.

Bloke needs to be bound and gagged anywhere near booze or the punt.

What ?!

Not a post about Fev.

But generally about Us lacking some extroverted forwards. We've shy'ed away from them, instead of trying to do a 'Stevie Johnston' with them.

 

Unless Neeld has signing Fev down as his top priority I can't see it happening. He has less baggage, but he still has baggage.

Neeld doesn't strike me as a Fev man...

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
