Fevola is suspended and will not be selected this weekend, told to have a think about his future. Could be a chance he won't play another game for the carlton.

No worries about Fevola this week - Not playing - hes been suspended - his future at Carlton in doubt.

One less worry for Bomber Riley.

Hmmm, I'm still not sure exactly what he's done to deserve the suspension.

This has 'tank' written all over it.

They want our draft picks and I'll be damned if I let those scum have it.

Come on Melbourne, get beaten (you've been so good at it all year)! :lol:

Thought the same 2.

Carlton line of thought:

I'll be damn if i lose the first draft pick.

Let's drop Fevola to ensure that.

My brother is a Carlton supporter and because of that I get an inside view of what it's like having your team's fortunes hanging on a player so grossly inconsistent, irresponsible and unreliable. Not to mention overpaid and self-glorifying.

Please no. No no no no no.

No

No

No.

NO.

Carlton should trade Fevola while he has value.

I don't think Melbourne should take him on though - at 27 next year I think he's 4-5 years older than guys like McLean, Bate, etc. When they hit their peak he'll be 30+.

they are tanking for sure. how convenient. we need carlton to win another game. its going to be funny if we come across carlton in round 22 and we are trying to lose so they dont get a priority draft pick..and so are carlton so that they get one.

We don't want him.

Recruiting any player at any time involves guesswork. Even picking up Brock was a punt. And can anyone say Pickett has worked out as hoped?

But Fevola's a head case and as such, doubly risky. Can anyone bring him into line?

I recall from long distant times the tale of Phil Carman...

yes.. one difference between what we've known as MFc and say Pagans mob is that Pagan will dispose of Fev if for the greater good. and not blink !! I for one really think we ought to let some other club savour and enjoy the indioscycracies of one Brendan Fervola, half gun/ half nut !!

Pagan is also a wylie , crafty ol salt !!!!! we will have to watch him !!

I hope people aren't being serious about hoping to lose :o

I've had a gutfull of losing every week. I can't stand losing , and I hope we pump the Blues this week. Get some revenge on those punks from last year.

My comment was clearly tongue in cheek.

However, as far as I'm concerned, losing from now on is as much a positive as winning.

If we win, great, if we lose, we're one game closer to getting a good draft pick.

I don't want us to do what Carlton is doing, and tank in the most obvious of ways, but I won't be happy if we waste the rest of the season playing ordinary senior players, playing unfit players, and not playing the kids in order to win a few extra games.

We need to use this season to our advantage, and a huge advantage would be to finish bottom 3 and gain some good draft picks.

Nothing would be worse than finishing 10th.

Whether you agree with it or not, the AFL rewards clubs who have bad seasons. We should cash in on that.

This will be the worst game of the year. It will be about who wants to lose the least. We won't have Neitz, Johnstone, Green, Bell and maybe Robertson and Carlton have just dropped Fevola. This is the battle for the number 1 draft pick. Richmond have a full list to choose from now and will be out there to win games. It is very unlikely that Carlton and Melbourne will be out there to win games if Carlton lose though I think that will be the nail is Pagan's coffin.

I would go for Fevola this is the only way you can get him when he losses the plot because when he has his head screwed on he is usually awesome and a matchwinner and no one would want to get rid of him then he is worth the risk and with his mental problems he could be a bargain buy because no one will want to give up too much for such a fragile player. Is he under contract ?

If Fev could do a Cam Mooney* and settle a tad he'd be a look at at best!! But fe'vs far too easily distracted.... he's tainted meat I fear. Stay away , stay away!!

footnote... who else noted he(CM ) still finds it hard not to do that after the play niggle thing. Still he has come a long way , credit where it is due.

A draw would do it I think. :D

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
