Fevola in the Headlines (again) - Now Sacked..

[Dirko]

I think he needs to get the sack.

Or stop exposing it.....

Fev hasnt done anything wrong

Fev hasnt done anything wrong

I saw on the news that he is denying it. I suppose we should wait until the truth comes out until we make our judgements. Having said that his prior record isn't going to help him.

[Psyber]

Fev hasnt done anything wrong

The Lions' response suggests they don't believe his denial.

[Hondo]

I cringe sometimes at the labels the media put on people. I keep reading "mother of 4". Is whatever Fev did or didn't do any worse because the alleged victim is a "mother of 4". Isn't such an offence just as bad if the victim was a woman with no children? If she had a sister would she be "mother of 4, sister of 1 and daughter of 2"?

it just seems like a way to juice up the headline unnecessarily

I'm not defending Fev here BTW.

I just posted something similar on another forum. That does my head in the way the media carry on, as if someone is pure as the driven snow as soon as they spit out kids.

For all we know she's a crack head and the kids have four different fathers.

And for the record: I reckon he didn't do it this time.

in this case, there is no difference between, say, a meth head, a "mother of four", and your avergae joe...

Wow i don't believe it.

What a muppet.

As much as i admire his footballing ability, I think he needs to get the sack.

here I was thinking you only got sacked for not doing your job properly...

Perks of the job ... role model.

An AFL footballer these days is a brand.
If that brand isn't up to scratch then it gets tossed.
They are entertainers these days.

[dodgingandweaving]

I think it's fair to say that the Lions hiring of Fev was a total balls up.

Geez top shelf stuff shown by the lions, shoot first and ask questions later at the moment, how about waiting until investigations have been released.
I know he has past history working against him, but at least wait until some evidence has come out before suspending him indefinitly and looking to get rid of him.

Agreed - that's why they are paid so much, and that's why maintaining the image is part of the deal!
From the start they know "role model" is part of the job description, if they choose to step up out of the minor league into the media eye.

I suspect they may have information not available to the public about this incident, or others that have been kept under wraps.

One area the NRL consistently trumps the AFL is scandals... salary cap rorts, betting issues and player behaviour:

I just wouldn't find that funny.

Very odd behaviour.

When i first saw that headline on adelaidenow, I thought it was about Stirlingate....

[Dog_ger]

How can we get rid of this $900,000/year idiot...?

Lets set him up.....

"What we learn from the police is relevant and important, and if the Queensland police determine they want to take matters forward, that is relevant," he said.

"If they determine they have no further action to take, we would still reserve the right to conduct a further investigation.''

The AFL had already interviewed the woman before she laid the official complaint to police on Thursday.

Errrr... which branch of law enforcement do the AFL come under again? Cant recall that one.

The Victorian Police run the Brisbane Lions?
Methinks Carlton fed Fev to the Lions 12 months ago with a distinct lack of Christian kindness...

None, but they are interested in his behaviour as an employee and representative of the club, whereas the Police are only interested in whether their is evidence to support a charge for a criminal offence.
These are totally different issues, and the outcome of one does not determine the outcome of the other.
