funny that cos i hear there was a massive beat up by channel ten

There's been a lot of discussion in these pages about discipline. I was just reading an article on the 70s for heritgae round on the AFL website, and came across Scott Palmer's 10 characters of the 70s. In the list was this...

How do you reckon Fev would have gone under Barassi?

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

Lets redraft Campo
Lets not trade Lance
Lets make Lance captain.
Lets get Ackland and give him a 3 year deal.
etc etc etc...

Regardless of who players want as captain .. it makes no difference.
A Press conference to turf out Fev was a disgraceful way to man manage a guy who has been one of the few shining lights this club has had in the last 5 years.
The on the spot press media thing was ridiculous.
I notice a guy putting in his first post on the subject.. Hi Swanny..

(The whole he will walk out at the end of the year and leave us with nothing argument is what officialy the club thinks. )
absolutely gutless!!!

Now how about coming up with some answers on how to man manage better than we have been???

There is only one person that dictates how people will treat Fev and thats Fev. Fev alone is responsible for his suspension the rest is semantics.

The fact that his team mates voted in the manner they did speaks more about how they perceive things then any of the shit thats speculated here.

I also dont understand why the club is being criticised, a line in the sand was drawn and done quickly.

FFS analyse anything to the enth degree and there are pros and cons. Fact is the same board that has done so many good things like smashing cuurent debt, hotels etc etc is now in the microscope, give us a break.

Fev is a sublime talent, a gun, a franchise player. Hes also extremely well paid and at times consistently off his head (not in the Cousins way) on a grandiose scale (and im not referring to irish barmen antics who i couldnt give a flying flower about)

Fev is a character and a good human being its just sometimes respect for the club and his team mates iand supporters is not what it should be.

Please come back Fev, you know what you have to do, the majority of Australia does it when they get out of bed, pull their pants on and go to work each and every day, youre not that different

Elwood lets keep it in perspective. 18 months ago Miller wouldn't even put pick 8 on the table for Fev and the club, as disfunctional as it was 18 months ago, turned him down. That's not a bad thing, it's a good thing.

18 months later, and for all his faults, Fev is twice the player that he was when he was last on the trade table (rightly it seems).

We didn't sell a half-proven Fev at a fire sale price last time round when Richmond was the only serious bidder. This time round, if it comes to it, we will reap the benefits of that since it appears there are already 3 or 4 interested clubs. One of them will pay a premium and we won't have to deal with Fev's nonsense any more.

i dont want fev to leave, but i dont want his onfield petulance either.

Those who don't want a trade involvind Dal Santo may not have to worry for much longer...

As much as Fev has been a shining light, he has also been the embarrassment to the club with all of his dummy spits and off field indescretions. You choose to only remember the good Fev, it's a pity that we only have good Fev about 30% of the time.
I love Fev and want him to stay with the club, but like a mother disciplining a child, I won't undermine her and support her decision otherwise the message doesn't get through. Likewise I will not undermine the club and it's about time that he got a good smack.

Like i said ... hopeless salespeople.

Lets get some things straight here.
Is Fev the embarsssment or is it the performances?

Synbad you a great historian of the club can you tell me or even think of another player apart from Angwin who has be as big a Nob head as what Fevola has been . For the life of me I cant remember another player who sooked as much as this bloke does .

Maybe instead of suspending him for a week they should have double his ADHD meds

Both.

Grabbing a guy in a headlock whilst representing you COUNTRY is something of a major embaressment.

His constant dummy spits and total lack of effort/passion when thing don't go his way is a very embarassing performance.

Do you really think that other clubs wouldn't have had exactly the same question marks about Fev if he had been dropped without a presser instead of being suspended with a presser?

Other clubs aren't stupid. The whole football world knows exactly where Fev is at, and this 'episode' will have made diddly squat difference to that.

So Fev grabbed a guy in Ireland in a headlock and you were embarassed???



As for SydneyBlue.. you can say the same thing about Scotland slapping out two women...
Lets get rid of him too..

Look i ttink the the real knobheads are people who think that on a list of forty.. youre not going to get dumb people.. smart people.. naughty people.. etc..

And youre going to have this standardised behaviour by forty different personalities and theyre all going to be capable of playing fantastic football too.


Again... im not condoning Fevola.. im shitted off with how we approach things. If we want to trade him there are smarter ways of doing it.
As for man management in my opinion were still dragging our feet.

Some knobheads are comparing what Fevola did to what Didak did!

By that reasoning noone thats ever been dropped has been traded??

Look.. a press conference that was unclear... on the hop.. makes for huge questions!!!

It was DUMB!!!

I dont care if we have to discipline Fev.. but that knee jerk reaction is stupidity!!!.. its not good for Fev and its not good for the club...!!

Its common sense!!!... if you have ever sold anything.. even a Nissan 120Y youd know that...

But Synbad I cant ever remember a player who has been constantly in the media over something be it his off field incidents or his attitude on field . I have never seen a bloke like this before - Richo pails into insignificance compare to Fevola's antics and in all my years of watching Carlton I cant think of another like him there is always talk about him sledging umpires and fellow players his constant bad body language he is forever being dragged .

It a shame cause his got a bit of talent

I am not Swanny Synbad...

I am, however, happy with how he's handled it. Fev's the most open book in the league - no action the club could take would change another club's opinion on hm, positive or negative.


**EDIT - I should qualify that last statement - I am referring to the club either dropping or suspending Fev having no impact on his trade value.
