Brendan Fevola was shocked by his 17-year-old daughter’s antics at Schoolies in Byron Bay.
The Carlton football club legend, 43, who currently co-hosts Fox’s Fifi, Fev and Nick Show, He admitted that after a FaceTime conversation with his daughter Leni on Wednesday, he felt like he had “failed” like his father.
After instructing Leni to follow in her footsteps and do Schoolies properly by being ‘beaten’, the AFL star was disappointed to learn her teenage daughter had celebrated with her friends in a relatively low-key manner.
‘They’re at the cinema, they’re watching Wicked! “I’m very disappointed,” exclaimed the radio host.
“I sat there, drank ten beers and said, ‘I don’t know what I’ve done wrong as a father, I’ve failed.’
“I did my school studies while playing football and it didn’t end well,” Fevola added.

Leni plans to attend Swinburne University of Technology in 2025 and was even hired by the university to promote the Melbourne campus on social media.
In a carousel of photos shared on the teen’s Instagram account last week, Leni declared that “pajamas are the most important thing on the packing list” for schoolchildren.
She shared a photo of the outside of the sprawling Airbnb where she and her friends are staying for their week-long end-of-school celebration in Australian tradition.
The modern mansion features a large outdoor pool and a beach location, perfect for wild parties.
But Fevola’s second eldest daughter shared that she had instead spent the week enjoying quality downtime with her friends, driving, reading books with cups of tea and relaxing at the cinema with Ariana Grande’s hit film.
