Brendan Fevola is the latest football great using his sporting fame to make a move into real estate.
The former Blue turned radio host has filmed a clip spruiking a penthouse at 4P/228 The Ave, Parkville, listed for sale with a $2.9m-$3.19m price guide.
Fevola appeared in the online video at the behest of ex-Fitzroy and Richmond player and O’Brien property consultant and auctioneer, John Rombotis.

In the past, Mr Rombotis has recruited AFL legends Wayne Carey and Kevin Sheedy to appear in other home promos.
Mr Rombotis said that having footy icons in the videos was a good way to stand out in Melbourne’s busy property market.
He added that Fevola had displayed a deft comedic touch while recording the Parkville video, even leaping onto a bed in one of the home’s four bedrooms to soak in the views.
Fev has certainly been busy lately, also signing up as ambassador for Collingwood Hall of Famer Dane Swan’s new adult entertainment centre in Surfers Paradise.
Named Playzone GC, the venue will feature karaoke, a ball pit, pickleball court and an inflatable sumo suit arena, and is set to open in April.

The two-level penthouse Fevola is helping to publicise is located within the Arcadia building designed by the award-winning architecture firm Fender Katsalidis.
Featuring materials including marble and onyx stone inside, the residence’s kitchen is fitted with a colourful glass panel that can be shut to close off an area including Gaggenau and Miele cooking appliances.
Stainless-steel sinks and benches, with fridges beneath the benches, provide plenty of room to prepare food.
The living and dining area opens to a terrace.
A marble and timber-fitted bathroom could be set to turn heads.
The views include Ikon Park, in Carlton North, and Melbourne’s CBD.
The living and dining zone opens to a wraparound terrace with views taking in Ikon Park, parklands and Melbourne CBD’s skyline.
And there’s a walk-through wardrobe and a spa ensuite in the main bedroom.
“In the master bedroom upstairs, the views are to die for,” Mr Rombotis said.
“The isolation up there it feels like the only apartment on the top deck of the building, all you can see is the greenery all around.”
Elsewhere, there’s a video intercom entry, wine storage and display areas, three other bathrooms, an office, guest powder room, separate laundry and three car parks.
The penthouse’s furniture was custom-made and will also be available for purchase.
Nick Cody, Fifi Box and Brendan Fevola are Fox 101.9FM’s breakfast show presenters.
Fev checks out the views from one of the home’s bedrooms.
The abode’s Bang & Olufsen entertainment system includes speakers in each room.
Mr Rombotis said the penthouse’s owners rented it out as short-term accommodation, earning about $1500 a night.
The custom-made furniture inside the home will be available to purchase if buyers are interested.
Expressions of interest close on March 29.
