This weekend Melbourne and Brisbane play an exhibition game in Shanghai, China. Infamous bad boy Brendan Fevola is travelling with the Lions team, despite being unable to play due to injury.
It is only a matter of days since the Brisbane Lions lifted a suspension on Fevola for yet another off-field incident which was under police investigation.
Are the Lion’s hierarchy out of their minds?
Despite his prodigious talent and at times jaw dropping skill on the field, Fevola is more notorious for his off-field exploits – and they make quite a list. So with Fevola not playing, that only leaves the ‘off-field’ and the Fev is about to hit China!
The Lions are sick of Fevola; they have a massive salary cap issue due to his contract, and sponsors’ concerns as a result of his antics. The AFL are sick of Fevola upstaging them for all the wrong reasons.
However, maybe there is a method to this seeming madness. Rumours are circulating both Lions chairman Bowers and the AFL’s No.2 Adrian Anderson were also on the plane to China.
Both recorded unusual excess weight in their baggage, an odor of cement detected.
Just few thoughts on their plan:
1. Bury the Fev down a crack in the Great Wall and cement up the gap.
2. Bury the Fev with the other 6,000 terra cotta warriors in the province of Xian.
3. Erect a statue inside the Australian World Expo building to add to the statues of famous Australian cultural identities. Along with the ‘Drongo’, ‘Bushie’ and ‘Yobbo’, you could have the Fev sealed inside titled the ‘Dickhead’.
One cannot help but think perhaps Fevola will feel the calling across the border in Mongolia. I could see the Fev dreaming of roaming the valleys of Eurasia 1,000 years with his spiritual leader Genghis Khan.
He would be known as Vice Lord Fevola or the King of Vice – sex, grog and a 100 on ‘rock’n’roll’ in the 5th!
Of course, if none of these plans work, Bowers and Anderson will need to find a teaspoon and … err … harden up!
