Are Carlton better off without Fevola?
You would think that the losing the best full forward in the competition would have a crucial effect on a football club and on its players. Despite Fevola's classy skills and his ability to make the impossible possible he was nothing but a bad influence on the younger Carlton players, on and off the field. Since the departure of Fevola Carlton has had a huge hole to fill in its forward line. This has been a good thing for the Blues because it has made them less predictable when going forward. There is more then just one avenue to goal now and the likes of Sentanta and his 'little helpers' have stepped up to the plate.
For a team that was supposedly going to struggle to kick a winning score without Fevola, Carlton is the fourth-best goal-scoring team in the competition, behind only Geelong (149), Collingwood (137) and Fremantle (128). The figures speak for themselves.
