It was only a month ago that the news was reporting how Brendan Fevola was happy as a Brisbane Lion, how quickly they can turn on him. Today the news reporting is all about how Fev is being sued by Lara Bingle for a nude photo he took years ago. In fact so extensive was the national news coverage that even Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard was asked about the issue!
So putting this latest Fevola controversy to one side, the question is can Fev win another Coleman Medal this year?
He certainly has the credentials, winning the Coleman Medal last year, and finishing runner up in the 2008 Coleman Medal (in a year when he kicked 99 goals). And as far as AFL Betting odds go, Fevola is definitely placed with bookies as the favourite to win.
You also have to read Brisbane Lions’ captain Jonathan Brown’s comments about Fev’s chances to kick 100 goals as a sign that Brisbane plan on delivering Fevola plenty of the ball inside the forward 50. Either that or Jonathan Brown is trying to deflect opposition defensive attention onto Fevola, so that he can make his own challenge for the 2010 Coleman Medal.
Either way it’s a tricky bet. Some might see a potentially rejuvenated Brendan Fevola as likely to return to his best goal kicking form, and that might make the current $3.75 on offer at Centrebet, good value.
