AFL great Brendan Fevola and Aussie musician Guy Sebastian have combined to help a battling Melbourne local footy club to a drought breaking win.

The pair pulled on the boots for Masala Dandenong in a Victorian Amateur Football Association Division 5 clash on Saturday morning, where they held on for a 7.13 (55) to 8.5 (53) win over South Melbourne Districts.

Fevola was the start of the show, finishing with six of his side’s seven goals, as the Tigers tasted their first victory since 2023.

The team Fevola and Sebastian played for was Masala’s reserves side who had come into the weekend having lost its opening four games this season by an average of 117 points after finishing bottom in 2024 winless.

They had a 20-game losing streak before Saturday.

Sebastian didn’t just run out in the number 03 guernsey either, providing entertainment to the crowd at halftime, with some of his hits.

The game was part of a promotion on The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick radio show to help battling clubs.

Fev’s day isn’t finished there either, as he is expected to pull on the boots for his for this season, East Sunbury, in their Essendon District Football League Division 2 clash against Hadfield on Saturday afternoon.

Former AFL star Brendan Fevola has hit out at local footy club presidents for scrutinising his appearance for a battling club this weekend, where Aussie musician Guy Sebastian will also play.

Fevola and Sebastian became the subject of a Victorian Amateur Football Association investigation this week after it was revealed they would pull on the boots for Masala Dandenong in the Thirds Division 5 competition.

Fevola claimed rival presidents queried whether he was being paid for the one-game where Aussie musician Guy Sebastian will perform at halftime.

Under VAFA rules, no players are allowed to be paid.

Fevola is scheduled to play in the club’s second side which has lost by an average of 117 points across four games this season.

The Tigers finished bottom of the ladder last season with no wins, 16 losses and a percentage of 18.5.

“Everyone thinks I’m getting paid to be doing this but they don’t realise we’re doing it for radio,” Fevola said on The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick.

“All the other presidents around the VAFA have blown up. What’s wrong with these people? Pull your head out of your butt.

“We are doing this for a team that is bottom, bottom, bottom of the ladder in Division 5.

“There’s no cash here.”

A VAFA spokesperson confirmed Fevola’s appearance had been approved by the competition.

The game will take place on Saturday at Lois Twohig Reserve in Dandenong North from 9am.

Fevola’s main club this season is Essendon District Football League outfit East Sunbury.

In round 1, he helped the Thunder end a 1344-day losing streak.
