The fact that he's wanted to play for us for years would increase the chances of it working, as he would be extremely keen to impress and not stuff up. The fat that he's now back near family is also likely to have been extremely beneficial for him.
Some are comparing him to Lovett. Lovett was convicted of assulting someone in a car for 30 minutes, wasn't he and now is on trial for rape. What has Fev done to compare with that?
He had/has addiction problems that he's admitted to and is seeking help for them and now has a job and is apparently doing charity work. He's apparently also lost a heap of weight and is now kicking goals in the VFL.
Tom Hawkins wasn't kicking 11 goals in the VFL and yet he's back into the Geelong team and being lauded for kicking 3 for them on the weekend. If Fev can kick 11 in the VFL he could kick goals in the AFL if Hawkins can.
Imagine what we'd say if someone on our list kicked 11 goals for Sandy???!!!
If Roo continues to struggle and we don't get someone like Mitch Clark, then getting Fev may be the thing that wins us a flag next year.
Yep... big ifs, but if he proved he was healthy and fit... he'd be cheap and worth a shot on a very strict one-strike contract.
He never bashed his missus or snorted half of WA up his hooter.
Put him on minimum wage with incentive based payments for good performances. If he screws up then big deal we write off $50,000. If he shapes up then I dare teams to double and triple team Roo when we have a dominant full forward again. Is no coincidence Roo was at his best when the G Train was there too.
Fev could urinate on my windows all he wanted if next year he was averaging 4-5 goals a game for us
A true king doesn't glass his girlfriend.
A true king doesn't smear his blood on an opponent when he cannot break a tag.
A true king does not label umpires disgraceful.
A true king is Robert Harvey.

11 Goals against Frankston doesnt mean much at all.
Give Tommy Walsh a go up front
Yeah Sauntner would've/could've kicked 11 against the Dolphins and we wouldn't consider picking him up.
And in the past Podsiadly would've/could've as well, and we wouldn't have considered him, either. Â
Fair enough.
But Pods wasn't drafted by the Cats on the strength of one great game against the VFL minnows.
And Pods, although a mature age recruit, was a few years younger than Fev.
And Pods didn't come with baggage such as drinking, gambling and assaulting people.
If Pods, Sauntner or any other VFL player had kicked a bag against the Dolphins, but had done little else for the year, would there be a thread here suggesting we pick them up?

Yes Doctor, but out of pods, Sauntner and Fev, who has kicked the most goals at afl level?
