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.

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.

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.

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'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.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
