What a disgrace, where was his leadership when you needed it, and also to get absolutely pantsed by a 20 yr old skinny full back.

He also got pantsed by Polak, and whoever else Wallet sent down to help out to make it 3/4 on 1

An honest question then, if Richmond were triple and quadruple teaming Fevola (I noticed a couple of double teams but nothing out of the ordinary) then what happend to the 2 or 3 free players Carlton should have had when this was going on?
I personally don't like Fev cause I think he is a bafoon, however I thought Fev started really well and his body language was good. He just went missing with the rest of the team when the tide turned.
I wouldn't say he got pantsed.
He kicked 2.2 one didn't carry the distance and set up another 2 goals. Fev was double and triple teamed and when he wasn't he easily outplayed his opponent. The problem was he was only getting the ball outside 50 or very close to it. IMO the other forwards led to Fev's output last night. Could have easily kicked 5 goals like Richo

That just goes to show how bad the rest of your team is because if that is true then there's another 3 guys with no one on them... no one stood up.
That's the million dollar question, and it's been happening for the past 3 years
And he went missing because he couldn't get a 1 on 1 with Thursfield
I wouldn't say they don't stand up, it's the midfielder's who don't look for another option, it's just "Fev's there, I'll kick it on top of his head, with 3 against him"
Which is why Fisher not playing, and Waite being shifted to the backline is really hurting because there are no options.
It's been happening for far too long there needs to be some sort of forward line structure, where we don't just look for Fev all the time

He didn't get pansied at all. He could have ended with 4 goals had he kicked straight, that'd got nothing to do with defencive pressure. If Edwards can take another step in the next couple games and can force Ratts to play both him and Fish, Fev will have a ripper time not being triple teamed, then we can chuck Waitey up forward and stretch defences. Wishful thinking but I'm sure this is what the coaching panal is thinking in the long run too.
Edwards really offers us something leading out from the square and when Fisher returns I think a forward line consisting of Fevola, Fisher and Edwards will not be so bad. They just need time to get used to playing in the same forward line and not to get in each others way, same with our midfield. For too long we've had players playing all over the ground and not being allowed to settle in one position, now we couple that issue with the fact that there are a lot of new players in our 22 we are simply just going to need time to let them gel. People are writing us off wayyy too early, its gone from us being severely overrated during pre-season to us becoming under-rated. We should have won last night, no ifs or buts about it, unfortunately we were not the better team on the day. Sometimes the best team does not win, we got outplayed by a team that we are better than, it happens all the time so we should just get over it. This season is going to have a lot of ups and downs, all I need to do is look at the first half of the second quarter to see what we can do when we get going.

On this logic do you agree that Jamison got panced then? Richo was often double teamed, but went the game was there to be one he stepped up and Fevola went missing. Fev had a very good 1st quater, but in reality he kicked 2.2 (one from Jake Kings out on the full) and simply didn't present enough because he was rarely seen in the second half
Richo was hardly double-teamed, and when he was, our defenders ****ed up and gifted you a few goals
And everytime we went forward in the 2nd half, we kicked it to Fev

Well then he simply should do better, or you're team should be smater and look for small or medium size players lie Betts, Murphy. I mean, in that last quater when Fevola and Edwards were two-on-one against Thurstfield in the goal square and they ran into each, it really was pathetic.
More importantly, Quaters and Walls nailed it on the head when Fevola was puffing as hard as has in that last quater. They said that such things will happen to you when your up to 5am smashed in the morning 4 days before the opening match. He ran 5km less then Richo but Richo was easily the best player in the last quater
Well, yes, obviously our team must be smarter and look for other options
Up until about half way through the first quarter, i thought that he was just about or best player on the ground. Only kicked one goal, but set up 2 and presented well. From then on had no real impact, and that would probably have a lot to do with the fact that we were shocking in the second half.
exactly
so that begs the question, if fevola is a distraction both on & off the field
would carlton be better of without him and perhaps have a multi pronged attack. the same thing has been discussed on the richmond board where alot of supporters believe we are too richo centric & would be better post richo eg
hf pettiffer hughes brown
ff reiwoldt deledio collard/edwards
would be intrested to see how the carlton foward would setup post fev.

Deledio has to become a midfielder surely... Brown's not much younger than Richo (in footy terms a little older, he's pretty slow these days and his kicking distance is pretty poor).. Hughes is a monkey too. You want to hope you guys shape up differently in the future.

One point in the first quarter he marked about 60ish out. Cloke was about 20 out with 15 metres free space either side for a fair while. So what does he do, try and kick the 60 metre long bomb and not even make the distance. It was pathetic.

No he didn't.
In almost every one on one contest, either on the lead or body on body, Fevola beat him. Though when Fevola has two or three players on him all game where the players keep on kicking to him in those situations, it's easy to say he was pantsed.
Before posting I must point out that in my clubs' cases i have been critical of handling of similar issues but the bolded question has to be asked.
The night before the 'pissing' incident Fev was extremely intoxicated at Crown Casino behaving quite erratically. Although we laughed at the time, that effectively means in the week of round one he was blind two nights in a row and staying up till the early hours of the morning.
With carlton recruiting well and finally having a 'buzz' around the club, is this how you want your star forward behaving? Not too committed to the task at hand by the sound of it.
By all means shoot me down but just telling the facts quietly in this thread. I have been p...ed off with the way the pies have dealt with issues in house as they haven't solved the problem, and I would be again if I was a carlton supporter at the moment.

Richo was rarely double teamed you goose, and that is exactly the reason he had a night out, against a kid like jamison, wait until the likes of scarlett and Glass go to him, he will go missing as usual....
I saw Thursfield beat him 1 on 1 at least six times, I think Thursty got the best of him in the second half. That being said, it ddn't help that your midfield dropped off in the second half as well.
