Poor Fev, by the sounds of it ,he was just having a latenight playing a game of Texas Holdem by reports
His manager says he wasn't drinking.
I don't see any issue with a player having a life outside football. He might have lost a bit of sleep, but AFL players probably dont get up till 10am anyway, so probably still got his 7-8hours sleep.
Andy Roddick, Michael Jordan and heaps of other sports people gamble, oh hangon, i forgot this is the AFL and they can't have a life, they have to be tucked in bed by 10pm with their teddy bears. Thats due to them being role models and all kids look up to them, yeah right, the only role models should be your parents.
If he didnt give away two 50m penalties then there would be no relation to thurs night and he wouldnt be suspended
I hope Fev comes back, pulls his head in and sticks it up all you guys talking about trading him.
You don't lose a key forward because the coach is a twit and cant manage him. A new coach will come in and manage him properly.
Once Fev is gone you will be wishing we still had him, l guarantee that
If only life really was as simplistic as you make it out to be...
1. Not all of us have two parents, but that's by the by. I take your point about role models, but happen to disagree with it.
2. How do you know it was only the coach who decided on this suspension. What if some of the players had a say, sack them all as well? The board? Swann? Get rid of anyone who made this decision, is that it?
3. Parkin and Brittain are also twits I assume.
If Fevola is upsetting team balance and not doing the right thing by the team then why shouldn't he be held accountable? These issues have been prevalent for most of Fev's football career, they didn't just magically appear after two 50m penalties last weekend. Life's not as simple as being tucked in bed with your teddy bear. I thought you knew that.

The whole thing has been handled badly. They held a press conference to tell everyone Fev has been suspended due to his performance on Saturday and a couple other unknown things that they didnt devulge. I never heard of a club suspending a player, and calling a press conference about it.
All l got from it, is Pagan can't manage his players and isn't it apparent that after 2 games of losing by a total of 180pts, pagan has turned the focus onto Fev?
Instead of having a closed door meeting and discussing the issue with Fev, Pagan and Swann have given Fev an altimatum. Fev didn't apparently speak in the meeting. Now is that management? Dictating to a player terms n conditions? Rather then getting his thoughts about the issue?
Pagan should be sacked on the basis he has done nothing with the club in the regular season, no management skills and by the way Fev is acting, hes lost respect for the coach, as do most Carlton Members.
Get rid of Pagan and every one is happy. Carlton need a new coach and fresh gameplan.
If you don't change what your doing, then your going to keep getting what your getting till you change it.
Fev was actually given the opportunity to respond at the meeting however he declined. It was mentioned on SEN
