Big Fev? top 10 AFL?

[Bronx Bomber]

And as for Richardson, history will go to show that his name is not even worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence as Fevola.

Thank you for clearing that up.

 

[94_Eagles]

Well they do have atalent for getting short people to play at FF

How many seasons has Fev kicked over 60 goals again?

 

[Kooley]

I'm not convinced Fev has surpassed any of the elite forwards in the game. Brilliantly as he has gone in the past fortnight, Mentally i still think he is suspect.

 

[F/D]

People forget Fev is still young.

Hes kicked 60-odd goals the last 2 seasons and looks primed to be the elite full forward in the league for many years to come.

His kick for goal beats any other full forward in the league hands down (and yes even pretty boy Lloyd's kick). The way he presents himself down the corridor and takes overhead marks with 2 blokes pressing down on him just shows how good he is.

Has been known to crack the sh*ts on occasion but hell, he actually produces some dammed fine 2nd efforts most of the time and work pretty hard on keeping the ball in the forward line.

His form during the preseason cup and the way Pagan has used him up the ground is extremely exciting and I would say without a doubt right now, if I had 1 choice of a full forward to draft for the immediate and long term future it would be Fevola.

And as for Richardson, history will go to show that his name is not even worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence as Fevola.

This is ridicilous, Lloyd is so much better than Fevola it aint funny. Until Fev has 6-7 seasons that are consistent then he can be labelled as good as Lloyd.

Right now?

Lloyd>>Fevola

Better ff that Fev (at the present time)

Hall
Lloyd
GTrain
even Richo
and big Nick if he plays at FF

All are more consistent and have their head screwed on. When Fev decides to play he is great to watch. If he pulls his head in over the next few years he will be up there with the best Goal kickers

If we're talking about pure impact full forwards right now:

Favola > G Train
Fevola = Lloyd, Richo
Hall, Nick > Fevola

I'd say there's a fair chance Fevola will overtake the others (Hall, Nick) in the next 2-3 years.

Saying G Train and Richo are more consistent and have their heads screwed on moreso than Fevola is a bit outrageous, though.

There is alot to get excited about Fev but lets try and not pump his tyres up too much until he has a few more runs on the board. I get the impression with Fev that too much hype can be bad for him.

I think you are close on these although I think Lloyd is currently a better forward.

I really think for impact overall I would still take Hall above all else at the moment. Then Nick, and throw a bag over the rest of them, with Fev the one with the best future out of all ove them.

Fraser is more consistent than both Richo or Few but as for their heads yesou are right they all need to see a shrink, with Richo having extra time.

Richo kicks more goals per game than Fev.

How is he not more consistant?

Fev = overrated on this board.

I rate FFs on the amount of goals they kick, as it is their job. I aslo consider the quality of delievery and how good/bad their team's midfield is. All that considered, Richo had a better year than Fevola last year and he was the better forward.

However, I find it funny for you to call Fev overrated when I have seen some of your posts (s well as other people's) referring to a one J. Borwn. He is more overrated than anything.

I'll give you this though: in terms of performances both Richo and Fevola are the more superior forwards than Brown is currently. Brown isn't consistent, and doesn't kick enough goals. And with a midfield that Brisbane has, he should be doing better.

Brown isnt overrated. He is a star. If I could take any one player on Richmonds list Jono Brown would be top 2/3 on my list.

He is the was a key cog in a great 3 time flag winning side. CHF is the game most important postion and i beleive there is no better than the lad.

Brown is as couragous as anyone in the league (the amount of packs he runs backwards into is amazing), still managed to kick 2.5 goals a game in a 'lean' year.

He appears to me to strighten up the team more so than any player in the league, has good skill and is a good kick for goal. The lad is arugable the strongest going around, is a huge, scary/intidating man. Sensational grab, takes the most marks in the league outside Riewoldt. However, id agrue estimate more are contested marks and closer to the sticks.

Fev of course isnt overrated, that was abit tounge in cheek. However, he isnt clearly better than Richo or the Essendon scum. Top 10 in the league is over doing it abit also.

Fev's little finger > Richo

Nothing against Richo, Fev's just a bloody gun.

Would love him at Melbourne.

I wouldn't be surprised if he got 100 goals this season.

Richo at his best > Fev at his best.

Granted, Fev is yet to hit his prime.

nah they are all too busy up in the general board talking up their backline ...apparently glass is better than Scarlett and Mal Michael combined

since when does t_p's views represent all eagles supporters views? (even though, i have read what t_p has said, and it isnt that glass is better than michael and scarlett combined).

you fool

First of all, I respect your opinion - and I happen to like Richo as a player and he seems a top bloke off the field too.

But if you had to choose 3 words to sum up Richo's career to date, are you saying that the word "inconsistent" would not be one of them?

Agree with your positive thoughts on Richo - I too like him and have at times secretly hoped that all of that "trade talk" of him coming to Carlton actually came true.

"under-achiever" would be another word to sum up his career to date. Having said that I actually hope he has a good season this year and finishes his career on a high. As long as he doesn't play too well against us

and Moody would be the third

 

[Blues_Man]

Fev did his top ten prediction no harm tonight ...well done FEV you legend !!

 

[starz]

Seeing Fevola's development, I think he is the best full forward in the comp, and maybe better than Reiwoldt. I think he has surpassed Lloyd. The only question mark is his attitude and off the field dedication.

Number one on the Carlton list, I think so, but I am not a Carlton supporter.

Have to be top ten AFL if Reiwoldt is a popular 1, and if he had the mentality of the others I could not see why he cannot be the most influential player in the league. Inabashed Fev fan.

Don't really like the blues tho, sorry to say.

Top 10 not a bad call, i have to agree with you
starz top 50

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Bloody good performance from the Big Fev tonight..

not only him but the whole Carlton line up played super footy tonight....

Congratulations all round - It is good to see this super power back amongst it. With a bit of luck I reckon youl see some September action!

 

[Reveler]

meh, give a season full of tongihts form then you can rate him in the top 10. Till then he is just top 50.

 

[Abaddon]

meh, give a season full of tongihts form then you can rate him in the top 10. Till then he is just top 50.

err he kicked nearly 70 goals last season, and 50+ the year before... in a crap team...

You had me (in terms of have proven themsleves)until I read "even Richo". Fev's hissie fits have nothing on Richo, and at least when Fev has 10 shots for goal he will kick most of them. Funnily enough all those players(except big Nick who is a freak) are 3 to 5 years older than Fev. Compare them at Fev's age.... and no contest....Fev by a mile.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Holy ********. You mean he has to kick 176 goals in the H&A season before you would rate him in the top 10?

Incredible efforts by Fevola who is playing like Tarrant in that he runs downfield and collects plenty of marks but then Fev also plays the traditional full forward role and leads out and takes contested marks inside 50 a little bit more than Tarrant. Racks up good numbers for a full forward all around.

We know he is quick over short distances but the time trial results don't do justice to the ground Fev is covering during a match.

Hows Ottens goin at the moment ?

Fevolaaaaaaaa has done very well with no support as long s he puts in for 4 quarters i am happy

How wierd is that?

2 months ago everyone was complaining about Fevola's fitness and now look at him. Maybe he just doesn't give a flying.... when it comes to time trials.
