Brace yourselves people - we may have seen the last of Fev in the Navy Blue & the whites.

Remember, he was keen on going to Richmond before his last contract negotiation - this may have been the final straw as far as he's concerned, not just the clubs'!!!

If by chance he decided to stay, this won't necessarily mean he's safe during trade period this year - there would still be strong interest in him!!!

Good thing for the CFC is that there seems to be plenty of interest from clubs regarding his services - win/win for us as he's still got 1 year left on his contract, so if a deal is not right, we won't let him go!!!

Fevolution - love your passion dude and I know he's your idol, but Fev needs to decide what he really wants and assess his attitude - clearly the club wouldn't suspend him on light grounds. He has the power to decide what he really wants from here on!!!

We will get a fair indication on where the players sit with this on the weekend.

Melbourne are not travelling the best the sentiment of Daniher going would have been spent on Friday night , If the players come out firing it will show that Fev is a rotten egg with in the club and must go. Another performance like we have seen in the last two games then it is 2003 all over again .

Does Pagan still weild the same clout he had back then

there is never a dull moment at this club



Very good point on the players. Their efforts this weekend will speak volumes on the decision.

The members of this club have never been averse to sending a message to its greatest ever players.

Even Jezza can attest to that when he made the "its either me and George Harris or I'm out" ultimatim 27 years ago.

How many goals did fev kick in our last two wins when on both occasions we kicked over 20 goals?? No one player is bigger than the team and im glad the hierachy had the balls to come out and make this decision.

Worsfold just said on the couch that no one player is more important in terms of output in a team environment than another. That's coming from the coach of the best player in the comp..... Sounds like he wouldn't touch Fev with a 10 foot pole if he were up for trade!

That says it all I think!!!!!


Well Cousins will probably play this week, so what he says and does is two different things.

Also Fev played a big role in those wins dragging the best defenders outside 50. How do you think Waite and Fish would handle playing on Scarlett, Rutten or Glass? Yeah didn't think so.



Agreed that Fev had the best defender but all I'm saying is that it would not be the end of the world if Fev was traded. The TEAM is the most important issue here and Fev was disgusting on the weekend and im not talking abount his football!!!!!!

I can just imagine Denis' gameplan for this week.

"We need to keep the ball out of Robertson's and Davey's hands, and get the ball quickly up the field to...oh...hmmm...um...I got nothin"

I wish we had the opportunity to be Fev-centric the last two weeks. The ball hardly got down there.

Still it's all his fault. You rotten bastard Fev. :roll:

the ball got to our forward 50 on more occassions than the opposition.
fevs attitude and application was insipid... he was looking at the umpires on every 50/50 decision whilst their half backs were running away from their defensive half..

I dont beleieve this Crap....This is a Pagan's Desperate move to save his own Career at the expense of Fevola..


Fevola is pathetic at his worst, but wether we like it or not, he is carried the Club for years, and won games from his own boots....

Getting rid of him will push us back another 5 years, becuase if he is gone, no one else will kick goals...


if people think that Waite can kick a bag, or whitnall, or Fisher, or any other forward, they are kidding themseleves....


The only reason why our forward line has been able to kick so many goals without Fev is becuase of Fevola's presence and the Fact that he Takes 2 defenders with him at every contest.....


This whole thing should have been kept Private, and he should have been punished but not by a public Display....

This is purely done to Save Pagan's career cuase i bet he is feeling the Heat and desperation might lead him to Trade Fev without any hesitation


Absolutely! This is a joke

After reading through all the posts believe that Fev is just the start of some important decisions being made by the Blues

Swan has had 14 weeks at the club been able to start to understand and also identify the issues inside the club Fev is the first of several he will make over the next 9 weeks

Swan was employed to start to bring around some changes in the Blues from what i remember Pratt was requesting and i think he didnt do without getting a feel of the club.. Now Swan will start to be the CEO we have wanted.

Fev was made an example of by someone who can send a message to the list because he is high profile. His suspension is not for last saturday but for generally his behavior in the last 6 weeks and prob more because he possibly has more affect on the younger list than some of the lesser profile players. But other players have also shown some poor behavior but would make nearly the impact or the publicity of a Fev.

I dun think Fev will go hopefully he will be told there is a new coach next season so get your act togther and proove to the new coaching panel you want to be part of the CFC for its future in 2008 and beyond.

Anyway i reckon one of the next press conferences Swan will be making wont be a suspension but a coach sacking this is just the start of the Swan ERA

Anyone know why Fevola travelled home separate from the rest of the team? Methinks there has been a bit of annoyance expressed by his teammates. Perhaps a bit of a "discussion" by the players in the rooms after the game. Perhaps even Fevola "taking off" after this discussion, hence his independent travel arrangements.

I have a feeling Fevola has lost his teammates.

well said, anyone who wants fev gone, is not a true supporter. You should be all supportin him through this. Because i tell ya wot, every other clubs supporters would, especially the filth COLLINGWOOD.


Sorry Fevolution, but I disagree strongly with you.

I have been a member of Carlton since I was 7, that was 1975. I have seen Carlton through thick and thin, and I love this club. I have paid thousands and thousands of dollars to support and watch my club, and I consider it a privilege.

But the club comes before the players...any player. You said in an earlier post that any real Carlton supporter loves Fev. Well, I am a real Carlton supporter, and I do not love Fev. I have never loved Fev. When he kicked 8 goals in a half of football, I still didn't love Fev. And I'll tell you why.

You see, Fev is a gifted footballer. He has so much talent it's almost frightening. Some of the things that he does on the football field leave you breathless.

But Fev is also an immature, ego centric, self centred, selfish, childish and petulant individual. When things do not go his way, he sulks and just wants to take his bat and ball and go home. And no, this has nothing to do with Pagan (and I am very much on the get rid of Pagan bandwagon).

You see, Fev has always been like this. He was like this as a teenager, and it was why so many clubs chose not to draft him before we did. It is why it took him so long to break into the team. It is why he was almost delisted. It is why he time and time again gets dragged for being undisciplined on the field. It is why he has got into so much off-field trouble. It is why he had a barman in a headlock in Ireland (and maybe if we'd been harder on him then, he wouldn't be in the position he is now).

And it is why he was overlooked for the Captaincy. It is why, when he had a golden opportunity to put his hand up for the Captaincy that he so badly wants (and is apparently sulking over because he didn't get it), instead of putting his head down and arse up and working hard and contributing to the team, he chose to be undisciplined, petulant, and childish...and surprise, surprise...he got dragged. And his body language whilst sitting on the bench was nothing short of a disgrace.

You see Fevolution, we are all responsible for our actions. If we fail to meet standards of discipline, or to perform in a required way, in whatever area of life, then we have to take responsibility for that...it doesn't matter who you are. And unfortunately, Fev has done it time and time again. It's not like a Murphy, or a Gibbs, who get frustrated sometimes and argue with an ump, it is 10 years + of unacceptable behaviour.

Football is a team game. If you can't contribute as a part of the team, then you shouldn't be there. The argument that we are weak and Fev suffers from poor delivery and poor tactics etc is rubbish. Bob Skilton played 237 games for South Melbourne, won 3 Brownlows, was captain, and incredibly respected...and he played in 1 final in his entire career. Being surrounded by mediocrity was not an excuse for him to throw tantrums.

Someone else on here mentioned Lockett. Want to know his record at St Kilda? Kicked 77 goals in 1984 when they won the wooden spoon, 79 goals in 1985, another wooden spoon, 60 goals in 1986, yep another wooden spoon, 117 goals in 1987, finshed 10th, 78 goals in 1989, finished 3rd bottom...get the picture? And as much as Lockett was a troubled soul, he never spat the dummy on field like Fev does.

No Fevolution, I do not love Fev. When he is on song, when he is marking and goaling and sometimes even chasing, I admire him, and marvel at his skills, and in those moments, I thank the footy gods that he plays for us. But I do not love him, because he is a petulant, childish idiot.

And the problem is, he isn't changing, and he isn't performing, and he isn't contributing to the team. And he is 26, and wants to be Captain.

So, he has two choices. Either he pulls his finger out and finally grows up (and if he does step out of line, then accept responsibility for his own behaviour like an adult), or move on elsewhere.

If we knew that Fev was going to kick 80 goals + for the next 6 seasons, none of us here would want him traded. But he gives no indication that he is prepared to do what is needed to change.

I love the Carlton Football Club. I want whatever is best for the footy club. Simple. Right now, Brendan Fevola is doing nothing for the Club, and in his current space / form / attitude, he is more value for the Club as a potential trade. But that is completely his doing.


Well said. Probably the best post to date on the subject.

Interesting that you raised Skilton, i thought of him myself this A.M. when people tried to suggest that our inability to win was some sort of excuse for his petulant displays!

Well done to the Club on their stance!

Since 2002 without Fev Carlton is 3 wins and 16 losses.

Since 2003 without Fev Carlton is 2 wins and 11 losses.

Gee, i hope you're right! I believe that is the root of all that is going wrong at our club!

Tell me now that the Kangaroos are far ahead in development compared to us in terms of talent!??

@#$%&! off! We are being led by people with no direction and dated methods!

It's Pagans time to go! And i believe it should come sooner rather than later. With a great coach, and our young guys like Murphy being a year older and with Stevens back, the thought of having someone like a Voss leading the group, This could turn around 180dgs.

Those changes though need to be made first!!

One interesting thing I have not seen mentioned was in the second(?) quarter on Saturday when there was a ball up in the forward fifty you could see Fevola and Ackland having an open argument, it almost looked like Ackland was on the way to going to blows with Fevola.

Anyway what ended up happening is Fevola ended up going up in the ruck and taking that ball up and unsuccessfully tried to take the ball out of the ruck and snap a goal.

Would have been interesting to know exactly what was said and what happened.

Not much different to our overall win/loss ratio since 2002

In other words nothing

Suspend one of your best players when you are playing one of the bottom sides is one way of making sure the priority pick is still a chance. Can't be accused of throwing the match as Fev has not been starring lately.
