View Full Version : A week off for Fev could do the team some good...

I was just thinking about Fevola's strike last night (finally saw the footage this morning), and got to thinking about Fevy leaving the team for a week and honestly, I racked my brain trying to think of reasons why the team wouldn't benefit from a Fev week off, the only reason being that Harry O' will probably pick up Fev, and he plays well against the small 'from behind' defenders.
Now, before you start slagging me, i'd love to see Fevola line up againt the Magpies this weekend, but think about it for a little bit. How many times per week do our blokes try to hit Fevola laces out, only for it to be deflected and turned into a counter attack? After a while, the opposition team just anticipates it, and it doesn't make much of an impact on the game.
If Fev get's a week out, I think our boys will benefit from learning to hit up targets like Brad Fisher for example, instead of always looking for the Fev before making a decision. Bring Fev back into the side after the week or two off and BAM, our guys are looking for both Fevola AND Fisher, instead of the usual one way thought of 'where's Fev?'
To clear this up, I don't mean for the team to drop him (oh god no!), just trying to get a positive out of a bad situation. A bit extravagant, I know.
Thoughts?

its just like saying...
"if judd has a week off, then murphy, gibbs, grigg and our other young midielders can get more invovled in the centre of the ground. it would be great for them instead of being so reliant on judd..."
short answer: no.
Na would rather see him kick 10 against the filth.

True, but the difference being Judd uses his possessions, where as the Fev isn't getting his hands on the ball.

hmm i can sort of see where you are coming from, but we hit big kreuz last night. if fev creates a bit of space, and takes away two defenders, more space for the big kreuz to lead into. fev can play a team game when he wants to, as we found out last night in the last 1/4.
dont worry eddie after last night our boys will be saying wheres the Kreuz, as well as looking for fev.
I can sort of see where you are coming from..............

I'm the first one to have a go at Fev but sorry EBIAC I think there are some games you can rest people and others you can't. Fev at the G against Collingwood (or the week after) is not a good one to miss!

Again, it's not resting the Fev! It's if he gets a week through suspension!:p:D
Fevola will play, I have no doubt. If the MRP rub him out for that, then they have completely lost their collective minds. His "strike" on Selwood vs West Coast was far worse, and there was no action taken against him then.

Fev's kicked 6 goals in his last 3 games, but I wouldn't say he's out of form. Comparing him to Franklin & Brown is unfair, because Franklin & Brown get complimented by Roughhead & Bradshaw, which means that whereas Fev will often have 2 or 3 on him when he goes for a mark, Franklin & Brown will often be one out because the opposition can't afford to leave Roughhead or Bradshaw alone. Also, even though our midfield kicking has improved dramatically this year, it's not up to the skill of Western Bulldogs, Brisbane, Geelong, hawthorn etc, which means Fev isn't getting the same supply as the other gun forwards.
in a nutshell Fev is doing alright, he just isn't getting the same silver spoon service as others in the league. Also means we have to find a 2nd string forward who's capable of kicking goals and supprtoing Fev. The Fish is a good 3rd string, but he's not a second. Best option if fight seems Hartlett - seems to lead well and kick well

i see where you are coming from ebiac and do agree that it could be good if he misses a game but half the reason why its always going to fev is because there is nobody else up there. could be mistaken, but yesterday was pretty much the first time where kruez was told to play in the F50 coz he is usually playing more around the ground. and fisher on the other hand has been pushing up to the wing to be that linking player. IMO if edwards or hearts
were in the team, they mids wouldn't be so fev concious as there is more of an option up forward.
nobody will get suspended this week. goodes has been let off so the mrp cannot suspend anyone. goodes' hit was worse than anything else that happened this week and i know he is a protected species but the mrp can't possibly suspend anyone after letting him off.
as for fev not playing being a good thing for the team, don't think that really needs a serious reply (especially against collingwood or essendon who the fev loves playing against).

Exactly right. Fev will always draw the opposition defenders, and if it's going against him, we can always go to plan B and use him as a decoy.
Come on EBIAC - you were just being a pessimist thinking he would get rubbed out and just being an optimist trying to find an upside to it - you are a lot more balanced than people give you credit

i see where you are coming from, but he takes 2 or 3 defenders and id rather him kick 12 against the toothless filth
Think the best option is to play Fev and have the set up like it was in the last quarter. Too often this year Carlton has flooded back and had too few players stationed up forward. Further felt that Fev really pulled his head in after the incident where he lost it.
If Fev plays disciplined footy where he is at the ball and not worrying about looking tough he will be a gun for us for many years.He is that talented that putting on shows where he tries to prove himself is a sell out of just how good he is.

He was clearly frustrated as he'd had a stinker up 'til
that point and was just letting off steam.
As he was lining up for his bump/sucker punch i cringed
thinking this'll be 4 weeks. luckily he sorta pulled back a bit and
just disguised it enough to get away with it.
A side note. I think fev was the only player post match to sign and
pose for every supporters photo. He went right down the line and
attended to very single person and seemed happy to do it.
all good. Fev to kick 8 against the pies.

If only it was this simple EBIAC. I agree with the idea, but not the method.
Fev has missed before. Through suspension and injury.
It makes no difference.
He is a demanding, and highly skillful forward. Like Brown.
WHat we need is another demanging and highly skillful forward........like Bradshaw. Fisher is O.K., but he is not going to kick the goals that Bradshaw will, and doesn't have the consistency.........and tends to play further up the ground.
This is where Hartlett needs to step up, but personally, if there is one near enough the mark in the draft, I'd like to take a key forward and bring him in over the next 2 years. BY his third year when we are challenging (hopefully) he will be starting to have an impact (much like Kennedy now).
Our mids need to learn to look for other targets when Fev IS there.........its easy to do when he isn't.
Having said that, we return to the G over the next few weeks.........they SHOULD look for Fev often.:thumbsu:

Pies are a strict 1-1 side. They play hard accountable footy. They are unlike other teams we have played recently that have 'clusters' and 'drop-off' players. They are 1-1 until their opposition over-posseses the ball, which then they zone like everyteam. If we run and carry quickly then fevola will have all the space he needs. As demonstrated when we gave them their belting, this suits us. When Fevola has the whole 50 to work with and he will beat any defender 1 on 1 as proven against scarlett. He gave Harry O' a bath last time.
I think play Kreuze down there to keep the magpie defence accountable and if possible at some point in the game try to give fev the 50. Hawks did it against essendon, starting with multiple players up there to keep defenders accountable then gave buddy the 50 and BANG game over. God footy is easy. :)

No wonder Fev resorted to a stupid cheap shot, he was double teamed and received bullshit treatment all day, much of it in full view of the umpire.
It seems there's no such thing as an illegal shepherd if Fev is the one being impeded.
As soon as the ball crossed the centre line one defender would start shepherding and the other would just drop in front of him. And the umpire sat there and watched it all day.
He was basically forced to lead sideways into the pockets all day as he was completely and utterly blocked from leading up the ground if the ball came within 100m of his position.
The umpires need to stamp this out before another Hall incident occurs.
The Maleman
10 Jun 2008, 13:02
I reckon its important to play Kreuze/Fish/Hartlett or whoever it may be CLOSER TO GOAL than fev so that he can lead up & then on the way back if he is not used a pack forms 20m out from goal & he gets a second chance at the cherry with a pack already formed.
To often lately when he has the whole 50m arc, opposition teams sacrifice a player to drop back & by the time fev pushes deep for a second effort its 1 on 2 in the air!

A fair bit of froth and bubble in this thread for no real reason. Fev 'pulled' his strike and ended up hitting him fairly softly with the inside of his arm. Port bloke tried to 'milk' the free - nothing in it! ;)
He's due for a bag this week too. :thumbsu:

I see what your saying but i thought ild add in my thoughts
Factors For Fev:
1. MCG
2. 1on1 collingwood defense
3. Inspires the young guys
4. Brings that emotional factor into Collingwood clashes
5. O'brian
6. Murph on fire and inside 50s are number 1 in the comp.
7. Nick stevens inside 50s is number 2 in the comp.
8. enough said
EDIT: nick stevens has dropped to 3rd place inside 50s, behind no other than Gary Ablett Jnr after round 11

Personally I wasn't there to meet players. A fellow bagger
mate was keen to get some gear signed so I was more of a casual
observer. Juddy was straight on the bus which i thought was a
bit of snub on the fans. I know he's a really popular bloke
and perhaps he was instructed to get outta there, but Fev made the
effort so there was no reason for Judd not to.
If it was a regular home match I'd understand but the Adelaide
baggers only see the players once maybe twice a year so i thought
they deserved a bit more effort.
As stated, im not too fussed if they wanna get outta there
as i was already totally stoked with their on field effort but it was
more the little kids faces when Judd strode past and was gone.
Like i said, Fev didn't let anyone down who wanted a photo or
an autograph.
Probably a separate thread but whatev.

Isn't it funny how its such a game of "right place, right time".
I heard from an excetpionally VRS during the week that Brad Boyd, former Fitzroy champion and captain, when he initially was cut by the Pies (as a 17 y.o. I think), was very close to coming to the Blues, before heading to the Roys.
To our dear My Fevola,
Fevola could also learn a thing or three from our young boys, Murphy, Gibbs, Kruezer and of course RUSSELL.
Despite making mistakes these boys do not drop their heads nor do they spray team mates.
The point is we are very one deimensional at times bcoz you demand the ball, however we dont need you to sit out a week but encourage the boys to have shots on goal when they can.
Fev your great but FEVOLA - CARLTON = nothing
Sign the deal and dont be greedy.

Hi all, I am a Port supporter still smarting from last weekend ! Well done to your guys. Brendan has been playing pretty average footy over the last few weekends matched with one of the worst onfield and off field attitudes in a player and it does not bode well for Carlton. He is a lazy, selfish player who would do well with a run on the wing working to get his possessions rather than having them delivered to him on a platter. He may be a champion on the odd occassion but you would rather a consistent player week in week out. I think they will but I don't think Carlton should sign him to a 3 year deal, that will be a stupid, stupid move !
Thanks for your concern and opinion that we so desperately need, Im sure your credentials are much higher than Icke, Swann, Ratten and Pratt so I will request that they seek your advice and get them to forward an email to you at
youareagoose.com.au cc'd to markwilliamsCHOKERS.
Port makes great decisions,
rak off
Good on you Fish, surely even spanners can see that you need to be looking long term and not obligating yourself based on an individuals players (or teams for that matter) great year so far (joke!!!). If you want to chat about credibility then perhaps I should give Prat a call ! Or for that matter maybe even give John Elliot a call as well ... Anyone see a pattern developing ??? Please, please Carlton for the enjoyment of all other 15 teams supporters sign up Fev and watch him pee away all possible hope of getting near the finals in the next 3 years ...

If this is the only reason you can think of that the team wouldn't benefit from a Fev week off, keep racking your brain...maybe watch some Carlton games, listen to some player interviews...I'll give you some help:
His chasing and tackling in the forward line...
Drawing 2-4 players with him everywhere he goes on field...
Flying the flag for our underdeveloped talented young players....
The insipration he provides....
Our young players walking taller and playing with more confidence with Fev on the field with them....
Gibbs saying that Fev was a major reason he re-signed with the CFC...
If Fev get's a week out, I think our boys will benefit from learning to hit up targets like Brad Fisher for example, instead of always looking for the Fev before making a decision....

How can the AFL justify a week off for Fev for a soft strike that the poof adelaide player milked to the hilt when they gave Trav Cloke a reprimand for headbutting someone.
Fev will be lining up on Harry O' this weekend :)
Sorry Dramoth but I think you may have tripped over on the weekend and suffered a slight brain injury if you are inferring that the port player tried to milk a free kick or report. From my vision didn't brendan 'the tough man' fevola hit the port adelaide player from behind ??? a little bit of insight for you guys - when brendan peed on the window in greville street and was told off by the manager, he had a go at the manager. When the bouncer stepped up he backed off ... thats your tough guy !!!
I can see that the carlton faithful on this site have the same mental capacity as brendan fevola. I am assuming that the powers that be down at carlton land also have the same logical misjudgements and sign him up ... why not lock him in for ten years ...

Hi newbie.
Funniest moment of last years game at your joint was Chad shirking the contest when he saw Fev coming.
Funniest moment this year was everyone crapping on about his mark.......so brave.........when the defender was standing between Fev and him........so so Brave.
Second funniest moment was when Kreuzer slotted that goal from 50m, and some poor Port dude just slammed into Fev........was flattened.......threw his arms out (Lloyd style) and looked for the free.........quality stuff.:D
What were we talking about again?

Hey wooks (code for wank) I dont think you tripped over I just think that you are another weak SOFT C**K with no brain. Heres an idea get on the Port coaching panel after all you need the combined IQ to be over 5, heres another idea birdbrain get on your own site and dont worry about what the CFC is doing, or is it that your not worried but scared perhaps.

Mate, I loved it when your soft ____ choking coach came out and said that Chad didnt play that well because he has been carrying a groin injury(?) as well as his broken finger...
Geez, one player having a bad day at the office affected the whole team...
Guess what tosser :) it takes more than one player having a bad day to lose a game after leading at 3/4 time by 30 points. I think that the entire port adelaide team might have been smoking some green for them to go backwards so quickly in 1 quarter of football.

Speaking of soft.........when Motlop bannana'd the ball back into the corridor, he was about 15m ahead of Waite and about 10m to Waite's right.
Motlop jogged........not sprinted.......but jogged to wrds the centre corridor where Waite was charging through to slot the goal.
The camera angle show it beautifully.
He actually, whilt jogging got within a couple of metres of Waite........if he had of run like he was about to receive the ball and kick a goal he would have made contact and laid a tackle.
Maybe he had a sore knee as well. :o
Silly smurfs, well done to you ! ... 1 game in a row ! Not a finals appearence in 7 years and counting, an 'Alf' look alike for a coach, a crim for a president, a repeat offending, knuckle dragging, lazy selfish foward as a 'leader' and lynchpin for your club - well you pretty much look set for a pretty bright future ... Perhaps you should try a stint in the VFL for a bit of success within the next 10 - 15 years. A question for you - Why did chris judd leave the west ??? was it because the club couldn't or wouldn't control off field antics of particular players ???

Hahahahaha......the irony........a Port POWER supporter talking to us about success.
How many times did you finish on top of the ladder.....only to CHOKE in the finals?
Wow, you must be so proud of your ONE flag.
Puts you right up there with St Kilda, Dogs......University..........:o
You really put our 16 premierships to shame.:cool:
Good at maths bluebore ??? 1 premiership every 10 years is about the same ratio as carlton 16 in 150. lets not get started on the fact that you won them with less than the 15 competing teams that are in the comp today. Lets try another another game how many wooden spoons have Port won - let me give you a hint - it is less than 1 ... And Carlton ??? - 3 ...

No one will come in for him ..he will play against the pies, there was never any chance he would be reported for something so insignificant as a little arm brush .
This is a silly thread that has attracted some silly comments.
