Couldn't give a stuff about Fevola. He had thousands of opportunities to pull his head in but remained a lazy, selfish individual.
Good riddance. He's an opposition player now and I hope he struggles to get a kick and throws his little tantrums whenever we play him.


Spot on BV.

Not close to being our best full-forward, but on your last point I wholeheartedly agree :wink:

IMO he's not a saint in fact he was a big part of the problem through our dark times.

I wasnt aware that he had a say in the shit-trucks we recruited like mansfield, martyn, ackland, o'reilly, mcguane and the rest of the shit draft picks that never worked out................

I wasnt aware that he paid players under the table and rorted the system which cost us valuable picks and shitloads of money............

What i am aware of is that he can be an absolute flower of the highest degree, but when there was !@#$ all to cheer about he gave some of us a reason to smile and kicked a couple of goals along the way

For all of his bad traits i reckon there would be some good ones as well

Just a little respect for a former champion of the club.

Fevola isn't a Carlton champion.

I can feel bile rising up into the back of my throat after reading that.

Like Lance, Fevola was a matchwinning forward and a prodigious talent, but he wasn't a Carlton champion.

Champion footballers put themselves before the team.

Champion footballers win multiple best and fairests and or/a premiership.

Fevola is as much a champion as Stevens...

I'm grateful that Fevola is gone.

The only time we ever saw Fevola bust his gut for four quarters was the time he had the chance of kicking 100 goals in a season.

I can't wait for a new season and era to start without Fevola.

I agree. Look I enjoyed him at times - but football is like that, @#$%&! I even admit a certain (albeit tiny and slightly foul-tasting) love for JE after the flag in '87- overall though, like JE, I am glad he has gone.

For those wanting us to move on, please note that the original thread is now 18 months old. That ruddy 'Blueseum' fellow keeps on bringing it back to life to fill in facts about Fevola's goal-kicking success against past Carlton greats, with a view seemingly to add colour to the original premise.
