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