THE MANAGEMENT group of fallen power forward Brendan Fevola is standing by its assertion that multiple Melbourne-based AFL clubs have shown interest in the former Blue and Lion, despite club denials.

On Friday, Fevola's manager Rick Olarenshaw said an AFL club's list manager had made inquiries about the 30-year-old's health and mental wellbeing.

However, all 10 Victorian clubs have since reportedly denied any interest in the former Coleman medallist.

On Saturday, former North Melbourne forward Nathan Thompson publicly questioned Olarenshaw's colleague, Marty Pask, about the claims.

Pask, speaking with Thompson on AFL.com.au's Trade Week Radio, said the claim was legitimate, confirming more than one club was interested.

"In terms of Brendan's inquiries from clubs, that is confirmed that clubs have inquired about Brendan, there's no doubt about it," Pask said.

"If you've got interest, you've got to have serious interest and look, there is.

"They inquired about his wellbeing, what he's doing, is he prepared to move interstate, all those factors."

Pask said no interstate club had inquired about Fevola.

Fevola, meanwhile, says he is willing to play for a rookie wage in 2012 if he is given a third chance.

The 30-year-old told Trade Week Radio he would be more than happy to play for minimum wage next year, even if that meant recommencing his 204-game career as a mature-aged rookie.

"It's obviously very raw at the moment and the only thing I'll be a chance to get on is a rookie list, which I'm happy to do," he said on Friday.

"It's probably to the benefit of a footy club out there [to draft him as a rookie] because I've obviously got no value, which is great for a footy club.

"I can go there as a rookie and play as a senior rookie and do my time in the twos and if a spot comes up in the ones, I'd be jumping at the bit to take that opportunity and train as a rookie and earn your stripes and get paid minimum wage.

"I'm quite happy to do that, I want to finish off my footy on an AFL arena.

"I went out on circumstances I don't like, which wasn't very good and I'd love to get back and try and prove myself."

Fevola was dumped by the Brisbane Lions on the eve of this season after a string of off-field incidents. He was also sacked by Carlton in September 2009 following a similar list of offences that culminated in his drunken Brownlow medal count controversy.

He had only just learned of the approach before he was interviewed on Friday, and said the expectation between him and his management group involved the December 13 NAB AFL Pre-season or rookie drafts.

He also said he believed if he could get back onto an AFL list after spending this season playing for the Casey Scorpions in the VFL, he could push his way into the senior side.

"If something happens, I'd chuffed at the opportunity to play at a club whether it's rookie or senior," he said.

"Rookie is my best bet at the moment. The main objective is to play footy and if you get on a list, I'm pretty confident in my own ability that I could prove myself and get put onto a senior list pretty quick.

"I doesn't matter if you're pick one or pick 1000 in any draft; once you get to a club it's all about establishing yourself, working hard and having a great pre-season and playing well in the trial games and stuff.

"Then you get your opportunity and if you perform … everyone starts as a 'zero' player when they get there, and even when guys are on the list they're vying to get into that top 22.

"If you're good enough to get into the top 22 on your ability and your work rate, I think you'll get picked round one or in a NAB Cup game, and if you're not, you've got to work hard to get into that position.

"The hardest thing for me is getting on a list, and once I get on a list, I'll be able to prove myself."

The Northern Territory News reported on Monday Fevola was poised to line-up for the Waratahs in the NTFL, potentially as soon as this weekend.

No trades are official until paperwork has been accepted by the AFL and formally recognised after 2pm on Monday, October 17.
