After a carry-on, that was edited for viewing purposes, Fevola is presented with a second gift of a PS5 gaming console, to which his reaction resembled that of a much more mature six-year-old, who has just consumed a bucket of red cordial and been told they’re allowed to stay up until midnight.

But Alex was no where near done in what was already: “One of the best days of (Fev’s) life.”

Just as the 623-goal-kicker collected himself and became accustomed to the prospect that this may actually be real life and not some lucid dream world, his partner dropped a final bomb to rock his celebratory world.

In front of his four daughters, while unboxing his final gift Fevola revealed a set of car keys and after a ‘sprint’ outside, driving up his street was his brand new Mercedes-Benz GLE 400d worth $102,800.

He said of Alex, “You're amazing what an amazing birthday experience you have made for me. Great stitch up I'm not often got - but you got me a bloody beauty.”

Fantastic effort from Alex and for Fev his movement from living room to the verge was his fastest lead since 2010 with the Brisbane Lions.
