Brendan Fevola

Simondo, Lions/bears fan....and I loved the Fev

When he was 100% fit, he was pretty much unstoppable, like Franklin, or Ablett.

He had some lean periods when he carried injuries.

My brother and I think he should be at Melbourne (or Dogs), on minimum chips (using Fev's words!), providing them with a target, teaching some of the young kids like Jack Watts on the finer points of playing Full Forward and Centre Half, and teaching them how to kick. Coaching staff would just need to hand out an A4 sheet to the young kids, with bullet points on the best bits of Fev, and the worst bits. Any numpty knows to learn from the best bits...

Is that idiot still allowed out in public?

Messy...







In 2001, he was involved in an attempted theft of jackets from a drycleaners in North Melbourne; he was fined $8000 by Carlton for the incident.[4] On 8 March 2004, he was involved in an incident at Crown Casino; no charges were laid, but he was suspended by Carlton for a week.[25] In 2006 Fevola assaulted a barman during a tour of Ireland in 2006 with the Australian International Rules team, and was sent back to Australia.[26] In March 2008, Fevola was fined $10,000 by the club and stood down from the leadership group after urinating on a window outside a Melbourne nightclub. After this incident, Carlton did not suspend or delist Fevola, saying that taking such action would not assist Fevola in addressing his problems, but he was put on his final warning.[27]
In September 2009, Fevola was fined $10,000 and banned from appearing on the Grand Final Footy Show after behaving inappropriately at the 2009 Brownlow Medal count. Fevola withdrew from the traditional lap of honour by the Coleman Medallist at the 2009 AFL Grand Final and did not attend Carlton's award night.[28] As a result of the incident, he was traded to the Brisbane Lions, and did not return as a panellist on The Footy Show in 2010.
On 2 March 2010, Lara Bingle started proceedings to sue Fevola for breach of privacy, defamation and misuse of her image for the release of a nude photo in Woman's Day released on 1 March 2010;[29] but on 9 April, Fevola was cleared of the charges against him. In September 2010 it was announced that Queensland police had launched a formal investigation into claims that Fevola had flashed a woman at a Brisbane park during a football clinic, but again there were no charges laid;[30] the Brisbane Lions Football Club also suspended him independently while it conducted its own investigation into the event.[31]
Early on 1 January 2011, New Year's Day, Fevola was arrested in Brisbane on charges of public nuisance and obstructing police. He was released on bail and is scheduled to appear in court on 18 January. The Brisbane Lions Football Club granted him indefinite leave,[32] before terminating his contract after receiving medical advice.[33]
Gambling Issues

In 2010, it became public that Fevola was addicted to gambling, mostly playing poker and punting on horses. He accumulated significant debts from gambling.[34] In a paid interview with the Footy Show in early 2011, Fevola further discussed his addiction, revealing that he spent 65 days in rehabilitation, had lost almost a million dollars gambling, including $365,000 in one day of horse punting, and that his addiction almost drove him to suicide during Christmas 2010.[35]

Cheers sp - that is a classic.

And now the fool has put out a biography that doesn't even go into his 'dealings' with Lara bingle. Not that I'm one for gossip but it annoys me that he has chosen to dodge certain issues. If ya wanna keep secrets them don't try and make money from a book.
