    Re: Rebuilding Fev

    So if this magic lttle pill will render one nautious, unconscious etc how's that any different to how Fev's been living his life over recent years whilst on his apparent frequent alcoholic benders ? Maybe it's all just about having a legitimate excuse when he plays up.

      He looks fat as a rugby player on tv. I'm not concerned, we have James Mulligan

        Have you been drunk before?

          Re: Rebuilding Fev

          This was in an article on the AFL website:

          Meanwhile, as sacked Brisbane Lion Brendan Fevola set about training with VFL side the Casey Scorpions in Cranbourne, his manager revealed the Bulldogs intervened when their affiliate of Williamstown expressed interest in recruiting the dual Coleman medallist.

          "He was also at one stage keen to have a chat with Williamstown but the Western Bulldogs stepped in and said we don't think it's appropriate," Peter Blucher told 3AW.

          "We accepted that and chose not to take it any further. That's their prerogative, just as it's the Casey Scorpions' prerogative to say we understand and appreciate Melbourne's position."

            On the up side the VFL will draw more of a crowd. Come see the goal freak! He may set a new record.

              Its good to have that alliance. I wouldn't blame any VFL (even Willy) club for considering him considering the value he "MAY" present to the club.

              Well done Willy

                  Ron Todd kicked 188 for Willi in the 40's, Fev will have his work cut out for him.

                        Would be a nice little experience boost for a young defender to play on the Fev. He does rely on delivery a little though so the VFL may not be as good for him as AFL in that regard.

                        Lastly, he has kicked plenty of bags for Carlton in the past and they still got beaten so just having Fev will not be enough to beat the better teams you would think.

                        Lets hope he stays on the rails and the VFL benefits from his presence.

                          Could also end up being traumatic. Think Dawson on Rocca.

                          It will be interesting to see how well he goes. If he does play to his full potential 100+ goals is certainly not out of the question.
                          I should leave it alone but you're not right

                            Getting ahead of ourselves a little, how do we know he is any good anymore, he is 30 years old , put on about 10 kilo at least I think, footballs only 3 weeks away and he used to blow up even when he was fit.

                            Could be a waste of a spot.
                            Questions to ask, if he is horrid how long until he gets dropped?

                            Will he go back to being a dill if he is not getting a kick and if he isnt getting a kick I can imagine the uncomfort behind closed doors, and this is even if he does behave off the ground.
                            Melbourne has a right to be upset, but I can see Caseys reason if it does work, big big gamble though as Voss found out.

                              My work (school) is only about ten minutes from Casey Fields, so it's the talk of the town. Apparently his stepmother manages our canteen - didn't know this until this morning. Heard that last night's training which usually only draws a few dedicated folllowers, had a couple of hundred in attendance.

                                It's no joke this medication. It's a last resort for chronic alcoholics. If he drinks even a drop while on this medication he will become violently ill.
