With a crowd of about 1000 people looking on, Fevola and teammate Chase Strawhorn toyed with the opposition’s defence in the 73-point win.
Only inaccurate kicking prevented Fevola from kicking a double-figure bag.
The Yarrawonga premiership hero will back up for Melton South against North Ballarat City on Anzac Day.
Club president Andrew Starr said Fevola had made a big impact on and off the field.
“We had about 1000 people here and normally we would get 200 or 300,” Starr said.
“He played well and was great with all the players and our supporters.
“It was another good day for the footy club.”
Fevola played as a favour for Rennie coach and good friend Craig Ednie.
Rennie, who broke a 42-match losing streak by defeating Dookie last weekend, won all four grades for the second successive week.
Matt Pendergast was outstanding for the Hoppers while Ednie, Gareth Oughton and Strawhorn also created plenty of problems for Waaia.
Flag fancies Tungamah and Shepparton East scored massive wins over the weekend.
The Bears belted Dookie United by 73 points with Kade Rowe dominating and Shepparton East hammered Katamatite by 140.
Katunga defeated Katandra by 70 points.
Rennie should make it three in a row by defeating Katandra on Saturday.
“I thought we played better against Waaia than Dookie,” Starr said.
“Hopefully we can keep improving next weekend.”
