Fevola, along with a host of former AFL champions including Wayne Carey, Matthew Richardson, Jonathan Brown and Nick Maxwell, has been approached as a marquee player for a 12-a-side competition that would be played over three weeks in February, 2016.
Fevola said the competition could be a winner.
“I just had an informal coffee about six months ago just to see where it was at but I don’t think it’s gone any further than that,” Fevola said.
“It does sound exciting, though.”
The four-team tournament, with a modified ground and rules, would be played over three weeks, with two teams based out of Victoria.
The others would come from Western Australian and South Australia.
The competition would run in opposition to the AFL and could give delisted players a chance to revive their careers.
Players could earn more than $50,000 to play a handful of matches with one television network believed to be aware.
