Hate to say it but Fev wouldn't let anyone stand over our blokes and quite often deployed a few standover tactics himself. Love him or hate him, he was the heart of the side.
The culture and improvement of the side has been nothing short of remarkable since his departure.
It certainly has. We have become the well behaved, clean skinned models of gentleman sportsmanship both on and off the field. It's no wonder Essendon's blatant disregard for rules pertaining to use of substances in sport has offended Carlton folk more than any other. Both the AFL and some of our own supporters have well and truly achieved a long fought goal, we are now fully reformed and re-cultured. It shows.
