A.F.L. Thread II

International Coach
Fev will never play AFL again. Getting picked up in the draft is hard enough when you're 30+, but almost impossible when you have a history such as his. The big difference between him and Cousins is that Ben was a magnificent team man. By contrast, on or off the grog, Fev is a disruptive influence at clubs (sacked twice in 18 months).

His management should advise him to move onto the next phase of his life, which must involve occupying himself with a fulltime job that he can throw his energies and focus into. His management shouldn't let him cling to the misguided idea that he will get another crack in the AFL.

IMO

Should focus his attention on punting in the US...

I mean the kicking variety.




Richmond will probs pick him up anyway. I'm sure he'd fit right in considering no doubt the other 40 odd blokes on their list are depressed having to play for such a **** club.

Fev caught at the Crown Poker room a day or two after he signed with the Casey Scorpions is lol.

Also, for those wondering why the 6 year legacy of the all-time great AFL Dream Team "The Golden Boys" has experienced a name change, it's because my best mate has decided to be a ****** and name his team "The Golden Boyz". Son of a bitch.

So I'll now be known as "Green Book", because whatever happens, I'm winning anyway :cool:

I've been the Mongooses since day one many years ago. You're nothing but cheap new money.

Should call yourself Gold Coast.

He just doesn't get it. He says that he doesn't have a problem with poker specifically, or he's not technically an alcoholic etc., but he's incredibly naive about his problems.

Unfortunately for his sake he's a stupid man who still hasn't figured out that his problems won't go away just by letting them play out in the media, because the treatment he gets from the public always paints him into a corner. I think that's why he deflects criticism such as his problem with alcohol. Whether you're an alcoholic or an occasional binge drinker, you have a problem. His gambling is exactly the same, but the evidence suggests the penny hasn't dropped for him yet.

I don't know how the right solution could be anything other than getting right away from the world of football, stop being 'Brendan Fevola' for a while and focus on getting himself back together. I can appreciate that playing footy might be good for his recovery but it's clear that he's not going to be left alone be it in the VFL or anywhere else - and it really can't be helping.

Not sure what was better. Essendon losing to shut their fans up, or Essendon winning resulting in ridiculous hype allowing me to see the faces of their supporters once they realise they still have a **** list with a game plan that won't work too well with interchange restrictions.

Explain?

Reckon Hird has them playing a much, much better style of football than Knights ever did, even though it's very early.

They still rely on incredible pace. Otherwise that midfield is still lacking in depth. Interchanges will hurt them.

Tbf I only watched the St Kilda game, but I don't think their game plan in that was too different to how they have beat St Kilda in the past. Run them off their feet because the Saints can be slow.

That'll be less effective this season.

Just read an article on KHunt that gave him pretty big wraps as an AFL player. Ablett reported as being sold.

Has anyone seen him in action to confirm or deny this?
 

Mr Casson

But seriously, in my view there have been bits of play where KHunt looks like he could genuinely be a good footy player by either reading the play or setting it up, but that's always going to be his issue rather than the physical stuff. Most of the time he just looks lost, and I haven't seen much to say he's improved on his output in the VFL last year.
