While the AFL Coleman medallist is in the pool for any potential AFL suitors looking for an undoubtedly talented but also troubled forward, the ex-Carlton star said today he is not expecting his name to be read out.
And in planning for the future, Fevola has been in training for a crack at the NFL, hoping for the possibility of following in the bootsteps of Ben Graham and Sav Rocca as a punter.
“Playing footy is something I love to do and is a passion and playing at the AFL level is what you want to do – but if it is not I can't wait to play local footy," Fevola said.
“I was hoping to get drafted, but I didn’t think it was going to happen. There was a slim chance and there is a slim chance it still might
“But I am not hedging all my bets on that. I am going to plug away and see how we go for the next week.
“Then see what interest is out there for local footy and get back into the footy system.”
It was in the holiday season last year that Fevola's frayed personal life finally unravelled completely, with an arrest in the early hours on New Year's Day prompting his eventual exit from Brisbane.
Fevola has since been attempting to rebuild his life back in Melbourne, with a spot in the VFL at Casey Scorpions causing some angst at the Demons, but proving a hit with fans.
A stint in the Northern Territory has proved Fevola still has massive footballing attributes, which he says he hopes to pass on.
“I have got a lot of experience, I have done a lot in my footy career … and I can teach kids what not to do," Fevola told SEN radio.
“The one thing I am good at is knowing the game of footy and I would love to teach kids how to play in the forward line.
“I would love to go down that line in the coaching sense,
“There is a lot of politics in footy, but the main objective is to win games and I think I can contribute to that for another three or four years.
“Most clubs need a big forward the opposition can worry about.
“Kicking goals – that is what footy is about isn’t it?"
Fevola said his gambling problem his under control and his personal life is on track - but if that is not enough for the AFL, the NFL maybe his next sporting port.
“I haven’t had a punt for a long time which is great, the Spring Carnival was obviously a big test … and it didn’t even bother me to have a bet," Fevola said.
“It is a quite a funny feeling but a good one and you have got a bit of coin in the pocket which is handy.
“The family life is going really well, where this time last year was a bit of a disaster.
“The gambling took over, the family went home and that put me on the back foot.
“I am training for the NFL, that is going really well at the moment – the hang times are really good and the distance is above average to what the NFL punters are doing.
“But obviously I have not got the big linebackers running at me, that might cost me a few seconds.
“I have got a few fingers in the pie.
“Life is not going to be all over if footy does not work out."
