Fevola publicly visited a specialist in Adelaide together with Captain Jonathan Brown two weeks ago and is beginning to reap the benefits.
“I’m starting to get back to full fitness,” Fevola said.
“I started training last week and did a bit of skill work for the first time in about three or four weeks.”
The 29 year-old brought the crowd to life with some individual brilliance during last Saturday night’s stirring victory over Collingwood and currently sits second on the AFL’s goal-kicking tally with 34 goals from 10 matches.
“If (Jonathan Brown and I) can kick four goals each per game, then we’re going to win most games,” he said.
“I thought my form was pretty good on the weekend and last week wasn’t too bad either.”
“I’ve probably played one bad game for the year which was against Geelong, but every other week I’ve kicked either 3, 4 or 5 goals - so I’ve been pretty consistent,” he said.
“I’ve had 60 odd shots at goal this year in 10 games so I’m pretty happy with that.”
Most recently Fevola has been entertaining Lions fans with some of the more amazing goals seen this year.
He has been nominated for the AFL’s Goal of the Year on three different occasions this season and produced one of his finest snaps at a key moment late in the third quarter of last week’s game against Collingwood.
“I actually don’t (practice them),” Fevola laughed. “It might be the Italian in me or something.”
“I actually haven’t done much goal-kicking training for the past couple of weeks. The one on the weekend was a bit of a fluke I think.”
“I’m just lucky enough that it went in.”
The two-time Coleman Medallist also praised the Gabba crowd for helping lift the team against fierce rivals Collingwood in the second half.
“The crowd got really loud in that last quarter against a team that everyone wants to beat,” Fevola said.
“There was a lot of black and white in the crowd, but our mob got hold of them in the end. When I kicked that last goal, the sound around the ground was deafening.”
“The Queensland supporters really do get behind us up here and helped us get over the line.”
