Re: Fev trade
Ewww no.
MM is always talking about character and how he recruits players based as much on their character as their playing ability.
Fev would ruin the whole created culture of our relatively young playing group, let alone ruin any chance Dawes or Anthony had of progressing as key forwards.
Would cost at least a first round pick, and probably more also, so no.

Re: Fev trade
Maybe. If our young guys stand up and improve their performance from this year then having a gun forward like Fevola would go a long, long way towards making the Grand Final.
But his character is a real concern and he's reaching his use by date rapidly. Overall I think it would be safer to just rely on our own developing forwards and have faith that Anthony, Dawes and Cloke become the players we hope they will be.
Besides, Carlton will not give Fev the arse. He's way too important to them.

Re: Fev trade
Around the club he would not bring down the culture, he is reportedly very good with younger players and is a team player despite perceptions.
The off feild issues are a real concern, if we got Fev i would be filthy for one reason, the club stood by its morals and said no to Cousins in the case he may disgrace himself again so i cannot see in any way shape or form that if he were up for trade that we would even entertain the idea.

Re: Fev trade
Carlton won't trade him, can you imagine how their forward line would go without him?

Re: Fev trade
Carlton would be stupid to trade him. It would end up being like how Boston traded Babe Ruth to the Yankees.

Re: Fev trade
Fev's character is fine when he's not on the drink... and he doesn't drink during the season. Yes he can sulk during games when things don't go his way, yet he still baggs his second Coleman.
As for what you have to offer... looking through your list the only player I'd instantly snap up is Harry, and Collingwood would never part with him.

Re: Fev trade
Only Harry? what Swanny and Pendles are not good enough to work for Visy? anyway FWIW i wouldnt trade Fev if i were Carlton, Gun player even if he is a tool, but blokes get paid to perform ON THE GROUND and Fev does just that.
Re: Fev trade
McLean i rate many others do not, i reckon Carlton have done very well out of this deal and liken it too the Saints getting Ray a player that suits a teams needs.We don't need more mids... just bagged Macca.

Re: Fev trade
if he's put up for trade remember where you heard it first . if he's not ,then sh1t call by me.
my personal opinion is we should get him and try and win a flag straight away. As much as i am a fan of all of the young forwards we have, we've been trying to develop players for years and havn't won any flags ,get fev and we're a huge chance. I'm sick of waiting. are we starting to be content with being around the mark every year but just not being good enough? i'd be happy if we won the flag every 5th year and didn't play finals for the 4 years in between. Rather than finishing in the top 8 every year and never winning 1.

Re: Fev trade
I love fev and his antics, he seems like a good bloke. I don't see why the media place so much shit on him, he really hasn't done anything that bad.
Carlton won't get rid of him tho.
Also why does it matter if he gets in the paper for getting drunk or mucking around with a sex toy? Reputation is overrated and it doesn't reflect on the club if only one person is doing it.

Re: Fev trade
I'd have him. but only to play him in the VFL so Carltank have no forward option at all.
