although i agree Fev needs to be ridiculed for his performance this week, suspending him is ludicrous.. To me, Fev is a victim of our game plan, or as i call it the "Reverse Flood"
The reverse flood is when we continue to put players inside our forward fifty, we dont wait for the opposition to do it, we instigate it ourselves. On the weekend we had 8 forwards on direct opponents in our forward 50. Just a touch crowded. Not only do we do this, but we also allow the other team to have outriders where if a quick kick comes outside 50, they have 70 or 80 metres to run (or walk) the ball inside theirown 50, leaving Pavlich one out.
Fev would be looking at the space afforded the opposition forwards and would be ropable. Could you imagine what Fev would do with this much space??? This falls squarely on DP and the MC. If teams flood against us surely we must be smart enough to combat this rather than just bombing the ball to a pack. Why not try Fev at CHF where his kicking could be used to go over the flood???
We need to look outside the square with Fev and try to figure out why he is cracking it, not just sending him away for a week to see if he can figure himself out.
Ask yourself a question, Was his performance any worse than Acklands last 2 weeks? Was his performance any less motivating than Cain's "weak as piss" efforts the last 2 weeks??Obviously not, yet i guarantee that huge lump of shit will beplaying again this week.
Denis maybe you should take a week off to assess your performance as well.
Post of the week in my opinion - give this man a cigar... actually that is
unhealthy, give him a box of chocolates or something like that.
I think people seem to label Fevola on a few dummy spits and yet forget
about all the good things he has done. People remember the bad and
forget the good.
I can't remember too many dummy spits this year- but I do know that he
has won us two games off his own boot. That was the Essendon* game and
the North pre-season. As far as I am aware, no one else has come close
to winning us two games off their own boot. Stevens was BOG against
Richmond, Carazzo had a blinder against the Bulldogs, and it was a team
effort against Port and that is about it.
Anyway - at least the parameters have been set.
Every player will now be suspended (unless they are Ackland, Whitnall or Saddington) if they breach these rules.
1) give away a 50 or 100 metre penalty - i think Simpson did earlier in the year, so he is skating on thin ice.
2) dispute an umpire's call.
good - now that we know this i look forward in 4 weeks time for Carlton
to be playing with 10 players on the ground.

FAQ
in the forward line, then who is accountable for the outriders? Not the guys who are on their men in the forward line. You can't have it both ways. The midfielders and half-backs who refuse to be accountable are the issue in this instance.
