No! Cuz had a work ethic whilst still having problems, Fev does not have the work ethic. Cuz is/was a good teacher and on field role model, Fev is not! Cuz is a brownlow medalist and premiership player, Fev is not!
what utter rubbish.
it was only when cuz started missing training and not meeting obligations that it became a problem for wce.

im all for taking QUALITY PLAYERS and no one in his or her right mind can say fev is not a quality ff.
richmond or any other club would be mugs if they did not take fevola when reasonably sure he is doing everything he can to overcome his demons.
and to finish you would have to be a blind fool to think our young kpfs cant learn from fev.
give him a go i say as long as we are sure he is truly doing his utmost to overcome his problems.

hmm lets see how many 100plus game players do we have on the list again oh thats right 3, 4 if you count rookie miller. hmm a fit and healthy fev or brad miller.

The Coburg Tigers yesterday ''categorically'' ruled out an approach to Fevola, despite some initial interest.

Coburg football manager Craig Byron suggested that it would be ''too much to handle'' for first-year senior coach Adam Potter.

Coburg's initial interest in Fevola is understood to have angered its AFL affiliate Richmond, which sparked controversy recently when it announced that it wanted to field its own VFL team.

Read Cuz's book claw? It became an issue at WCE when he started getting in trouble with the cops! He had work ethic toomate! You only had to watch him play to see that! Fev does not chase, will not put in second efforts on occassions either! And on the Miller issue, who said you had to be a gun forward to teach a kid a thing or two! Its how you prepare, work on the track, react to adversity and how you communicate that decides most of the leadership qualitys a player has! Hmmmm!

 A fit and healthy Fev over Brad Miller? Come and ask that question when Fev gets himself fit and healthy, it may never happen, at least enough to play AFL!

Which one of these two would you prefer to be influencing your kids?

Fev is not the player he used to be. At Brisbane right from the start he looked slow, lazy and disinterested. Only averaged 8.8 disposals from his 17 games in 2010. So despite all of his off-field drama's, he is not showing any of the intensity that Cuz did when he was at the Tiges.

Tigers ice-cold on 'Fev' (Leader)

Tigers ice-cold on 'Fev'
By Sam Landsberger
Moreland Leader
1 Mar 11


THERE is one spot left on Coburg’s 2011 list but it will not be filled by sacked Brisbane Lion Brendan Fevola.

Tigers football manager Craig Byron revealed the Victorian Football League club was “not even entertaining” the idea of throwing the troubled spearhead a lifeline, adding it would not be fair on new coach Adam Potter.

“We’ve basically decided on our list and Fev’s still in rehab so you don’t even know when he’ll be ready,” Byron said.

“It’s something we’d have to clear with Richmond and I don’t think they’d be keen on taking him on and then (if) something happens it gets linked back to them.

“We’re not even entertaining it because we don’t want to get involved in the circus and I don’t think it’d be fair on (Potter) in his first year to have to worry about answering questions about Fev every three minutes.”

Byron said he had not even bothered calling close friend and Lions assistant-coach Jade Rawlings to ask what state the 30-year-old is in.

Similarly the Tigers will not ask assistant-coach Sam Power to phone brother and star Lion Luke Power for a Fevola update.

Any guesses?

A replacement mouth for the Luna Park Entrance? He would be perfect as he does not discriminate as to what goes in or out of it as long as its "just for fun".

If there is one thing Fev has failed to do so far is to take responsibilty for own actions! Cuz has!
