And doubling down on his dismay at the state of his once powerful club, the footy player turned radio star has announced he wants to join the Blue’s board.Fevola’s passionate public flaying of the footy team came after last week’s poor showing against Port Adelaide.“I reached out to the coach, sent him a message, said, ‘Mate, I am happy to come down for nothing to help the boys and I mentioned one player in particular’,” Fevola recounted.“He said, ‘I will pass this on to him’ and he (later) wrote back, ‘I passed your message on to that certain player and he said, ‘no I’m good’.’“Sorry, what?”Speaking on his Fox FM show Fevola said he was stunned his offer of expertise was rejected recalling how Brian Taylor reached out and helped him with his goal kicking when he was starting his AFL career. Fevola won two Coleman Medals as the AFL’s leading goal kicker during his career.Describing Carlton as “absolutely woeful” he said fellow celebrity supporter Dave Hughes should join the board before adding, somewhat surprisingly, that he thought there might also be a role there for himself.“I’d love to flip the board,” he said.“Hughesy would be a great man to be on it.“I want to go down there to help.“I want to be on the board. “I want Carlton to be better again because they have been crap for a long time and I was part of that. I played in a team that was no good.”fiona.byrne@news.com.au
