Sure.

Fevola has always played as an individual. He's Mark Jackson, Warrick Capper. "You've got front row tickets to the Fev show" he once told an opponent.

That pretty much sums him up, and that's why he's playing in the VFL. He's every modern coach's nightmare. Because the days of the hero individualistic FF are

That kind of attitude doesn't win you premierships. not now.

Best you folks give Stevie J a call. That's his line.

As far as team footy goes..... In 2007 he had more tackles than Hall, brown and riewoldt. Virtually the same goal assists. Less tackles than cloke. In 2008 Easily more tackles than all of them. Similar goal assists. 2009 similar tackles and goal assists to riewoldt and cloke. Even last year, despite his injuries only cloke had more tackles.

Don't let the facts get in the wAy of a good story.

And maybe Steve Johnson largely plays according to the coach's instructions, within a team gameplan. Fevola didn't. Doesn't seem capable of doing so either. A team can accommodate a guy with flair. It can't accommodate a guy who just doesn't think of himself as one cog in 22 in a team.

Look, we have a competition where you can beat up women, do jail time, assault innocent bystanders, get drunk and crash cars, ride around with gun-toting murderers, lie to and humiliate your coach and president (and this is just ONE club) and STILL have a spot on a list if you help the team win games.

And yet Fev finds himself without an AFL club. Why, when clubs would recruit satan if they thought he'd help them win a flag? Because AFL coaches think he's more hindrance than help to team success.

I reckon they just might be onto something.

The main (self-imposed) headache we had with Fevola in the past was that he was on massive money and long contracts which made it near impossible to sack him.

My main issue is that Mitchell, McCarthy and Watson are given priority development and opportunity. If they're fit and likely to debut in 2012 then I wouldn't waste time thinking about Fev. If those 3 are not looking likely to contribute much to our 2012 season by Decembers rookie draft I'd look at rookie-ing Fev if his private life is stable.

I reckon Ratts loves the 10 - 15 hours a week he got back after Fev got the boot.

..seriously ppl, stop parroting on rubbish about cousins this, hall that.. ..firstly, fev got that 2nd chance at the brions, got an extra year and a payrise, and lasted 12 months before getting the sack [again].. ..and not a single example anyone has given has included a player that seriously, seriously burnt their club, got the sack, and then was brought 'home'.. ..not a single one.. ..croad/tarrant didn't burn their clubs, hall and cuz never went 'home'.. ..he kicks goals, wow.. ..he also pissed all over the club, the board, coaches, players, members, supporters..

..lotta crack talk in here from a buncha fev addicts..

Look, the only thing I wouldn't do for a premiership is sell my arse, but I'd have to give serious thought to it™ :sly:

Jenni Pratt only became vice president after she reached a agreement with the Carlton board that Brendan Fevola would be looked favorably on for a spot on the list as a mature aged rookie in 2012. The recruiting and coaching staff are now monitoring Fevola's progress very closely.

I for one am happy to hear that Hotcox, also happy to be called "stupid" by KK if it makes him feel better.

interesting that you assumed it was aimed at those 'for' not 'against' as I didn't stipulate, glad you know your place though.
