CibbuanoFevola hindered by injury

CARLTON star Brendan Fevola has admitted his bruised heel was partly responsible for his poor kicking in front of goal during the Blues' four-point loss to Essendon at the MCG on Saturda night.
Fevola was too good for Essendon youngster Darcy Daniher but failed to convert his chances, booting a wasteful 4.7 and one out on the full.
Speaking on Channel Nine's Sunday Footy Show, Fevola said he has not been able to practice his kicking for goal at training in recent weeks because of the injury.
"I haven't done too much goalkicking practice in the past month because I haven't been out on the (training) track so I have just got to try and get myself on the track and try to start kicking straighter," he said.
But Fevola said while his bruised heel had cost him valuable goalkicking practice it was still no excuse for his inaccurate kicking in front of goal.
"My heel is pretty sore but if you put yourself out there to play you are 100 percent fit," he said.
Fevola also ruled out missing a match to give his injury a rest.
"It is not going to make any difference whether you play or have a rest," he said.
"I am playing pretty good footy at the minute so it's not bothering me too much - I have just got to kick straighter."
