Interested in your thoughts on what the club should do BV.

Personally I'd look to re-negotiate his contract with much more onerous clauses (alcohol, media, on and off field etc). I don't know whether that is possible but perhaps it would get the message through.

Well according to the headline at the HUN he is fighting for his career: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/brendan-fevola-is-battling-to-save-his-career-at-carlton-football-club/story-e6frf8w6-1225779305387

But I am not sure the text of the article actually gives great support to the headline... but I'll leave you guys to decide on that for yourselves.

What's different about Fevola is that he wants and demands that he does this crap on national TV and thrusts it under our noses. I agree that Channel Eddie's Footy Show aids and abets this, always has, and then shakes its head and tut-tuts. We talk of this guy needing help but surely he can make a decision for himself not to have another drink and not to horn in on Juddy being interviewed.
Fevola thinks he's setting himself up for a media career with this stuff. He kids himself that any publicity's good publicity. It will only stop when he realises he's torpedoing his chances of a career in the media. Stand by for a remorseful statement crafted by his PR flak. But it's still all about Fev and his desire to stay in front of us on our TV screens.
If the AFL really wants to do something other than tut-tut and change his behaviour it should withdraw his journalistic accreditation for AFL functions. Carlton could stop pumping up Fevola to the media.

That's assuming these people think it's an issue to start with, BV. The problem is that many people on these forums that support football genuinly think it's okay to 'grope the chicks' and act like a flog. They actually use people like Fev as an icon of life.

And when you think about it, Fev is just a bogan who can play footy, not a footy player who's become a bogan.

More teasing today. Fevola is such a bastard. I'm going to have to go home early now.

Verbs...that hole you're digging for yourself must be pretty deep by now?

This is crap.
why dont we blame, juddy, gibba, murph, twiggley, alex and everyone else that was on the table...they where in closer proximity to fev.......
fact is, he acts like a 18-20 when he doesnt drink, and acts like a 16 when he drinks. lepard doesnt change its spots.
RE: the footy show: swaring at your captain when he was walking off? i dont care who you are or what profession you are in, that was utterly disrespectful!

You should take a lesson in reading and comprehension. There's a few on here who actually get it, obviously you're one who either can't or just refuses to. Either way, it's not my problem.

verbs, even Fev is now apologising for his behaviour, the same behaviour that you say he has nothing to apologise for and that we are all crazy to suggest he should.

Are you from the same school as Phoenix? Find a post where I have said that Fevola has nothing to apologise about and that you are crazy to suggest he should.

Read this post of mine from a few days back:

"The truth is only relevant to those who are high and mighty enough to pass judgement on him. To ordinary people it is irrelevant. It doesn't impact our lives, it never has and never will and we're not stupid enough to pretend it does."

or

"You get all high and mighty and make assumptions about what I think when in fact you don't even know. All you know is what you're spoon fed by the media. If Fevola came up to me and drunkenly swore at me and licked my ear and invaded my personal space, yeah I'd have a problem with it. Sitting here with my laptop, I have no problem with Fevola's personal life because it hasn't impacted on mine in any way shape or form, and I'm not deluded enough to get on my high horse and bleat like a moron"

If you want to make things up, go ahead, but it's not my problem if you can't comprehend simple written words.

Pretty poor by channel 9 to air it to be honest, even if they did show a clean version.

No one would be more embarrassed than Fev, real kick in the guts having it shown to the millions of people watching.

For the record Cooney looked to be in a similar state to Fevola yet I haven't heard anything about him. He was the one responsible for the drink 'going into the crowd'.

Personally, in my opinion Ch9 just do what they have to do. Their actions are determined by what's in their best interest and that's what's going to get viewers.

.. ..actually, i'm not sure if yer just stirrin' the pot, or if you honestly mean every single word.. ..i hear what yer saying, but there's alot to be said for having some Empathy....

Wouldn't emapthy be feeling sorry for Fevola? Can't say I even feel that to be honest. It's an incident which has no real meaning in my life, and I'm amazed it has so much meaning in other people's lives. If I was mates with Fevola I probably would feel empathy, a little bit. Not a great amount though.

Maybe that wouldnt be such a bad idea... considering all the harm and hurt that arises cos people have no idea how to drink...

Posting on TC is a hobby. If you want to stretch the boundaries of reality then I suppose you could argue that because the incident happened and it's being discussed on TC that it has meaning in my life, but that would be something a leftist hippy greeny would come up with, not a logical clear thinking conservative.
