Yes Lance last week

They turned a straight forward decision into a media circus.

That was the point. Everything else has failed, so we'll try this. Time will tell whether it'sd the right decision or not.

but why not just drop him like every other poor performing player in history?

Fevolution,

Did you barrack for Carlton before Fev joined us in 1999?

If the answer is YES...remember that !!

The club is bigger than the individual.

Now if a player like Fev is going to divide this club, with some to 'not return' (as you suggest), then we're better off without any divisive influences, even if that means Fev; not that I want Fev off our list.

If you're worrying about having to change your forum name and as a result lose your aggregated number of posts, I'm sure you can be accomodated by the moderators (not my call).

Don't get me wrong, I love Fev, I love his passion (when he's passionate),but I understand why so many are frustrated by him, including executive level. This decision was not taken lightly, I'm sure.

As you would know, I have stuck up for Fev, and agreed with his abuse towards the umpire. I even warned that something like today would happen if the board/ executive didn't escalate the unfair umpire treatment Fev was receiving. So in part, I blame the coach and the executive for not protecting the player.

BUT, I thought that in the 2 games we won recently and the last 2 games we've been thrashed, Fev was not Fev. He didn't get excited for others kicking the winning scores, when he was used as a decoy, and in the last 2 weeks he has shown bugger all passion. I can't condone that; something seriously is amiss with Fev of late.

I agree Pagan's game plan (if there is one) hasn't done Fev any favours, but mate, there's no need to show a lack of passion for your team and the navy blue jumper (that goes to you and Fev).

Fev hasn't done himself any favours in the last month.

Take it easy, keep your chin up, we're all upset with the position on the ladder and the Fev debacle, but we move on and move forward.

Adapt and overcome.

Will he play in the bullants?

interesting ploy. Drop him and his trade value goes south. Suspend him and he remains an erratic talent?

What is his trade value right now? Surely by stating he may never play for CFC again the club has devalued him considerably.

Wiggins wears the navy Blue jumper with pride and passion. He may not be as skilled as some but FFS he knows why he is there. He is not there for self-adulation. He is there to contribute as best he can, in whatever way he can, to the team.

Ackland is just not the skilled player that we want or need but FFS he shows more passion for the club and team than Fevola shows, same with bloody Saddington, and the sad thing is that those two blokes have had to come in from other clubs.

Fevola is all about himself and he thumbs his finger and nose at the Club, and, more despicably, at the ONE guy who took a punt on him and didn't sack him when he should have been sacked at the end of 2002.
Lack of respect and lack of commitment make Brendan a flower liability.

INCORRECT. PAGAN HAS NOT BEEN SACKED.

The press conference has nothing to do with the coach.

Are you taking hard drugs man? Did you see Ackland smile and joke around with the Freo players after the siren had gone? He couldnt give 2 flying flowers about us. You need to get a clue if you think Ackland shows anywhere near as much passion as Fev does.

yeh i did, but then we didnt make shit decisions like we have now.

but why not just drop him like every other poor performing player in history?

Fev has Ackland covered for talent and passion.

Fev has been dwn for a month. We don't really know what his attitude out of game day has been. Are there other factors?

I have faith in Greg Swann. He doesnt need to deflect blame from anyone.

The club hasnt devalued fev but what about 9 more performances like Sat. What would that have done to his trade value. Fev is no victm. I felt the umps were doing him wrong but his constant whinging and looking at umps for line ball decisions show a lack of desire.
In the long run this will be better for Fev tha letting him continue his current behaviour

Unless it's something off-field and he would need to have done a Didak, this is a disgrace. Why would you hold a pressor to can you own lad.

Enough of this crap, simmo and murph both look at the ump for frees, and thats fact and if you dont believe watch the freo game.
