Stats show that we kick more goals with our current set-up than we did when it was all about Fev kicking 80-90 goals a year. I agree that we need a key forward, but not Fevola. Fev would only run, chase, and tackle if it suited him to do so more often than not. Look at when he was stranded on 99 goals and the Hawks were playing keepings-off in defence. Never seen him chase harder or pressure the defenders as much.
He's spruiking the old lines of "My gambling is under control, so is the drinking, I've changed..." and all that rubbish we heard for years when he'd stuff up with our club and he'd be thrown another chance.
For mine it looks like the last few years have come back and hit him at once, of how he'd thrown so much away with all the talent and potential in the world. All he has now of his AFL career are memories that he's holding onto for dear life and the hope that someone will fall for him once more. He is playing good footy in the VFL, and should be happy that he even made it back that far. It has been a great effort on his part, and he should remember that the chances he's had with his footy are only ever a dream in the minds of a lot of other people. Hell, his VFL career is even a pipedream for a lot of people. Fev needs to get over himself and look at what he's got, what he had, and how lucky he is. Brendan was lucky to have had footy to put him back into line (somewhat), while there are thousands out there who fall by the way-side and simply don't have the support that he has had, which results in an even further fall.
Needs to take a good look around at how good the world has been to him thus far. Footy owes him nothing.
