Fevola

I'd just like to say, congrats to Brendan (and fans) on what has been an exceptional year.

He might not have got the 100, but to kick 99 goals in a season is a remarkable effort.

And his post-game interview was all class.

Much respect for the man, and worthy of a spot in the AA team this year.

Spot on

 

[The Cranium]

Would be an awesome forward line for the AA with Buddy next to him.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Poor Bloke, still 99 goals is pretty damn good, he'll have another 1-2 chances, to try to hit the ton.

That's not what you were saying in the gameday thread.

Damn that poster in the first qtr

Sean.

Season performance vs an in-game.

As I said in that thread, no issue with Fev, or the blues for focusing on getting him there (christ knows we've done it the last few weeks with Franklin). It's the umpiring that bugs me.

 

[Windas_Magic]

As an Essendon supporter, i obviously have a hatred for Fevola, but i couldn't help but yell "Kick it to FEV!!" in the dying minutes.
Bad luck to him, it would've been grouse if that free kick was awarded to him and he kicked his 100th after the siren.

All well, i guess it's good to see him just miss out

 

[Dude Lebowski]

Yeah, but you were going on about Franklin not getting any free kicks, he got some very dicey ones tonight that I didn't think were there. Fev got mauled all year and would never get anything like that. Granted the last free kick probably wasn't there.

What I like about Franklin though, he doesn't complain to the umpires and that's Fevs undoing, umpires don't like him.

 

[Simon_Nesbit]

Franklin is HATED by the umpires. He's made it worse by complaining when he doesn't get frees.

He got 2, one of which was very soft/not there at all, and we were running into an open goal anyway.

He had 17 contests (where he was the main target anyway), and was infringed on eleven occassions, though probably only 3 or 4 that should be awarded a free. He got one.

He had five free kicks against. 4 were for in the back from tackles - 2 were dives, 1 was there, one blatantly wrong. Not sure what the 5th was...

..and those numbers are pretty consistent for him this season.

but not the point of the thread.

dont winge, u flogged us!!

Worked out well I think, just lets Fev know that every goal counts whether it's round 1 or 8 or 22. More upset at losing than Fev not getting 100. Please trade Nick Stevens and Russel.

edit: piss off hawthorn posters.

Hard for people to keep defending Stevens when he continually throws up efforts like that, Fisher, Thornton, Simpson and Bentick are big worries also.

cant see why every1 hates stevens afta he has a shit game...

if juddy had a shit game every 2nd week, would u want to trade him. no!!

Does Judd cough up so many clangers week in week out? For a so called player with great disposal skills he aint much chop is he?

because Strvens chooses to have a shit game, he just doesn't bother showing up.

 

[TheBlueblood]

W.O.G tonight Nick Stevens.. Had some friends though but i expect more from him than some others.

 

[Simon_Nesbit]

Not meant to be a whinge, just response to DL.

Back to topic...

Fevola - the 2nd best forward in the AFL.

 

[DamianBis]

Buddy - The worst Accuracy of any forward to ever play the game.

I think Russel (yes. the hack himself) has better accuracy infront of goals than buddy

Agree. Th ething thats shits me about stevens is whenever he plays on a good young fit player like that feral f***ing hippie tonight he gets smashed and he is so slow across the ground its rediculous. Basically he is fu**ed when the bloke hes on has got the ball. Time to park his arse in the forward line for the rest of his career.

Doesn't have the likes of Kerr running alongside him...yet.

I was yelling at the screen when Fev didn't get that free kick in the dying min's! Even tho he technically interfered with his man, I still wanted him to get the free Would have been a fitting finish.

****ing twat.

Fev's best > Franklin's best.

 

[Dramoth]

I reckon next year, Fev will kick a ton and Buddy will be behind him

Gratz to Buddy, commiserations to Fev...

 

[Simon_Nesbit]

Suppose I'm on an opp board so should expect the personal abuse...irregardless, this thread hasn't achieved what I wanted (acknowledge a season I can see otherwise being overlooked in the media's franklin focus), so maybe the Mods should shut it down.
