I like paying homage to the heatley end at the MCG. We need to make our home grounds more intimidating and for our fans to feel more ownership. Trying to emulate parts of Princes Park is a great start. A lot of people. Including myself still feel a great affinity to that beautiful ground.
Got to be careful about the company we keep.
It's pretty common knowledge that I am far from Fev's biggest fan, but it would seem that he's actually starting to turn his life around (this is coming from family/friends in Yarra)

I'd say that's a mixture of age and no one caring who he is anymore. Getting back out to country footy was definitely the best thing for him.
I was glad we sacked him but I really do hope to see him excel in whatever he now does.

Also, he's paid off his debts

Didn't he declare bankruptcy?
Yah but they have assets in his wife's name. Plus he was playing for the Yarra pigeons to pay off his debt. Instead of match payments they'd cross some debt off the list..
If we are serious about building our supporter/member base; it starts with them. People might think Captain Carlton, the hovercraft etc. is a bit silly, but when I was a tacker it was definitely something my brothers and I definitely looked forward to about every Carlton home game
It's far easier to attract kids then it is to attract disillusioned adults.
There must be 25 other people more deserving of this honour than pea-brain Fevola.
This just reinforces to me how out of touch the club is with their fan base.
Fev represented everything we have been cleaning out of our player list in the last 2 years.
i.e. selfish, self-centred players who put themselves before the team. i.e. Waite, Robbo, Gartlett, Bootsma etc.
I vividly remember Fev at Etihad running up the ground arguing with an umpire about a free kick he did not receive - while his opponent ran down the other side of the ground to set up a goal.
Fev got dragged to the bench - much to his obvious disgust.
He then proceeded to take his boots off and throw them away - as if to say "well I'm not going back on now". This from one of the highest paid "leaders" at the club?
IMO - Aaron Joseph would be more deserving than F'wit Fevola!!

No problem at all.
Honestly MEB - what message does this send to the current playing list (and supporters)?
We honour self centred idiots who put themselves ahead of the team - instead of "die for the club" players?
How about Fraser Brown while showing video of "that tackle" against the scum - that I would really enjoy!!!
Or Earl Spadings smother, recovery and goal against Geelong in the Grand Final - that lifted the whole team - we were never going to lose the GF after that effort!!

He is just delivering the ball.
It isn't really sending the youngsters a message to be idiots if that is what you are worried about.

Depends how much the kids know about Fev. I doubt they pick up on the nuances of attitude, petulance etc that an adult can see clearly. Unless their parents sit there and say "there goes Fev, perpetual child--drinker, gambler, smoker and selfish footballer!" then the kid will just a fella who kicked a lot of goals when he played for Carlton.

He's delivering the ball because he was a great player for us in a very bleak time. He was sacked for being an idiot.....you;d think most kids would get the message.

He's being carried in a sedan chair to the centre of the ground by Angwin, Norman, Bootsma and Mick McGuane. Bloody ridiculous.
Fev has obviously split the supporter group. That said there is still a LOT of people who would enjoy seeing him on match day. Can't please all of the people unfortunately. As shown by the response to things like the hover craft etc being brought back again. The fact that we're pleasing anyone by these initiatives means it is worth doing in my books. Better than the diddly squat we've got for years.
