To save Fevola or not you decide the outcome.

[mickeyblueeyes37]

Doesn't not bother if you don't sign Browndogg but please keep it to the yes or no answer and stop clowning around.And thanks Irel I'll actually ask him on his twitter or send a E-Mail to his office.I'll ask him what he thinks on the matter and if he would simply apply a yes or no answer to the subject or a written statement to sack or save the man.

Might as well take to AFL house to since its there.So looks like Friday is suit day.Did you actually to that with the jumper subject or just the club ?

 

[Hollow Knight]

Much more real factors for the powers that be to weigh up in this troubling scenario. An e-poll from a football forum is entirely irrelevent.

 

[mickeyblueeyes37]

Doing It on the Facebook Page to.The Australian newspaper tend to say they all said sack him,So see where I get if it goes no where at least we all had a shot and at the end of the day we pay this pricks to play so with out us there nothing.=)Yes I'm Michael Savage =)

 

[Stocka]

Forwarding on to the club... lol.

Didn't you read the OP?! This is the LAST CHANCE that people have to save Fevola! THE LAST CHANCE!

[mickeyblueeyes37]

Stocka If the board have there way they will be pressing the AFL commission to sack him think we all know that.So as fans we can have one last crack.If it fails oh well there's always the Suns for some and there is always going to be a Lions fan here.

 

[Football Pope]

Yes the end is nigh.

 

[Grimreepah]

No: Grim

(presuming I read the OP correctly)

 

[Linc]

No, Linc. If i put my real name down Fev might smash me! Much too complicated for yes or no answers though really

 

[Reardo]

Yes - Reardo 44.

Before you do MBE - please consider punctuation and grammar -if you want to be taken seriously. Probably a spell check as well. Good Luck

 

[The Golfing Lion]

No from me - Club comes first but with McMum on this, yes to helping him. Rehab in Melbourne so he's close to his kids! I sincerely hope he finds a way through this.

 

[Jemima]

No from me - Club comes first but with McMum on this, yes to helping him. Rehab in Melbourne so he's close to his kids! I sincerely hope he finds a way through this.

I agree about rehab - I would like to see him receiving treatment for his alcohol (and any other) issues in Melbourne. The importance of family involvement and support is vital in achieving the best outcomes in these situations.

We can hope he may experience an epiphany during treatment and get his life back in control - after all, others have managed this - and sacking him now would likely only result in him sinking further into depression if that is what is dogging him. Having lost a close friend to the black dog in the middle of last year I would hate us to sack him now and erode more of his self esteem.

And yes, club should come first BUT it seems even he was sacked we would still have to pay him out - this would be money down the drain which we can't afford after our loss in 2010.

So, does his future need to be decided right now, this minute? Wouldn't the club be better off to allow his contract to continue for now?

Anyway MBE, after all my windbagging, please note:

YES - JEMIMA

 

[irish]

yes . irish. he is a lion and he needs help no footy and who knows what will happen ! 1 last chance brendan or its history

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Too complex a situation for a simple digital yes/no response.

 

[Nuggo]

Too complex a situation for a simple digital yes/no response.

Not really. If he can be removed from our hands without that 1.2 Mill coming from our pockets and it releases the salary cap then it is a yes from me.

In regards to his rehab if we move him on - he is an employee of the AFL. They should handle the this side of things. As for keeping him employed so he doesn't fall in a hole I am sure the AFL can find a role for him to keep him busy.

The club and supporters has been made to look like fools over this. Some are hanging on to the motion that he will come back and kick 80 goals a season.....come on people think.

 

[knaf]

The Judge said

"A bit torn, to tell you the truth.

What about we put say $250k into a rehab/counselling account (joint signatures required, ex-salary cap) and wish Fev the best of luck? AFL can match us dollar for dollar, with Carlton chucking some in on an ex gratia basis!"

Very good summary of the sort of solution I would support.

"Hard to know what to do with him without having some insight into both his physical and mental health" - Agreed

But I am a NO. Never reinforce failure.

(Sorry Mickey if I am not following your instructions, but I am not very good at understanding languages other than English. )

 

[mickeyblueeyes37]

Sorry for the inconvenience Knaf I was never good at English as I only did pass year 7 so bare with me on my English writing skills.

 

[Voss the boss]

This is a hard one MBE - but the club is more inportant than the individual

No - VtB

What’cha talking about Nuggo? A blokes not meant to think with his pockets… more with what’s between the pockets, no?

Another Yeah-Nah from me...

"What would you more? each tree through all that wood
Hath sense, hath life, hath speech, like human kind,
I heard their words as in that grove I stood,
That mournful voice still, still I bear in mind:
And, as they were of flesh, the purple blood
At every blow streams from the wounded rind;
No, no, not I, nor any else, I trow,
Hath power to cut one leaf, one branch, one bough." -- Torquato Tasso

“The moon is no door. It is a face in its own right,
White as a knuckle and terribly upset.
It drags the sea after it like a dark crime; it is quiet
With the O-gape of complete despair. I live here.
Twice on Sunday, the bells startle the sky --
Eight great tongues affirming the Resurrection
At the end, they soberly bong out their names.” -- Sylvia Plath

Life has been some combination of fairy-tale coincidence and joie de vivre and shocks of beauty together with some hurtful self-questioning. -- Sylvia Plath

MBE37, with the ‘suggested’ information available I'm unable to commit one way or the other. I’m happy for macmum to captain my boat here and I’m not apologising for the possible OTT quotes… sometimes the words and emotions of others far more knowledgeable than me just seem more apt. – freddie

 

[1980GFVideo]

Dont believe Terry Wallaces' claim that we took Ben Cousins on for the good of the player.

Clubs make decisions for thier best interest only and shouldnt apologise for it.

Not comparing the two situations (someone will think I am) just simply making the point that clubs do the best for thier club and are entitled to do so.

If Brisbane feel its in thier best interest then they shouldnt have to take into account the players emotional needs in any way.

When a low profile gets cut because of injury no one inquires as to the importance of football to him. Plenty of blokes who have been cut who maybe were dependant on the game in some way.

Cousins and Fevola put thier careers on the edge by thier own making and Cousins was simply good enough to get another gig. Its the only thing keeping Fevola still in the mix.

..thanks for the faith b_f, but I fear I would steer us onto the closest rocks..

 

[Jimthegreat]

Doesn't matter. Brisbane salary cap won't allow them to pay him out and the AFL can't de-register him just for being a silly drunk.

Maybe in a year when he only has a year left to go on the contract but by that time he'd probably have kicked 80 goals, barring injury, then, by that time, no-one will want to get rid of him. Worked that way at Carlton for years. Then summer came again, he got drunk, everyone in the off- season had nothing better to do than to argue whether he should stay, he did (until that Brownlow night), kicked a pile of goals, won games of his own boot, and everyone was happy again. Sort of went around in the same circle each year. Even last year he wasn't far off 50 goals with an adductor torn off the bone, meaning he couldn't lead, and missing alot of games.

Only one thing that counts, Fev kicking goals and the 4 points. Is there anything else really? After all, that's the name of the game. Simply can't lose all those players and then get nothing out of Fev would happen if he was kicked out.

Yeah, so you keep saying, as if repetition somehow makes it truer.

No one really knows the exact specifics of how the rules apply. The "Bringing the Game into Disrepute" rule has significant wiggle room.

Also, if the AFL deregister Fevola it won't be for being a "silly drunk", it will be done on the back of long running path of negative behavior that embarrasses the code.

BigFooty is full of lawyers, and they are all over the shop in their analysis of how it could play out.

We know where you stand, so spare us the next 10 repetitions if you can. Can't help but think though that there is a little hope mixed in with your analysis. Just a little bit.
