Brendan Fevola Trade Thread

Re: Blues to trade Fevola

Will Fev make us kick the ball up the guts?

Re: Blues to trade Fevola

They haven't decided to dump him at all, they have decided to put him on the table and see what eventuates, not unlike Hamish McIntosh last year.

If they don't get what they want, they won't move him on, simple.

Sounds more serious than that I reckon. Pretty sure there are now irreperable strains with sponsors, board members and players. Pretty certain it's violins for Fev.

Re: Blues to trade Fevola

I love it how now we are all happy to part with our young guns to get a qualuty player in Fevola, pitty he's still a F#@Kwit!!!

I'm not so sure on Fev, gun player but do we want to jeapodise our culture now that we are just getting over late 2008.

I'd like to see 2 X Clokes at Carlton TBH. Cloke and pick 14 maybe to secure Fev.

2nd round pick to secure Ball from saints

3rd pick + Player to secure Drum from Freo

Only concern now is a ruckman.

I hope we dont look at on-forwarding Fev for a inside 5 pick though to get Butcher, that would not be cool.

The difference is Hamish wasn't put up for trade after a string of serious off-field indiscretians. Carlton and Judd would lose alot of credibility if they went back on their word of trading Fev.

Wouldn't Carlton just deal directly with a bottom four team if they wanted Fev and get a top five player / trade themselves?

Come on now. They've dumped him. They don't want him there anymore. Chris Judd and other players have had enough. His time at Carlton is over. Instead of sacking him, they have offered him for trade because it's better for Carlton to do it that way.

If they don't get what they want, they won't move him on, simple.

They will do whatever they can to move him on to the club that has the best offer, whatever that may be. It was only two years ago when they went through the Chris Judd deal and how it's best to work with a club to get it done.

Re: Blues to trade Fevola

It's more than fair considering not one of the other 4 contenders had a player that did it either.. in fact the one defining characteristic of all the top teams this year was they didn't rely on a Fevola to kick 80+

Forgetting Riewoldt?

Kicked 68 in the home and away and 10 in three games of the finals, 5 against us, 4 against the dogs and struggled in the grand due to 2-3 manning against him.

Given the scarcity of big forwards, a lot of teams don't have them and are far lower on the ladder than Geelong. Their position on the ladder is not a means for validating the theory that big forwards belong to sub top 4 teams. This should be of no surprise given that we now may see three top four teams (pies, saints and dogs) chasing a key forward in this trade period.

As for Geelongs forward line, it's very much a two man band with them being Chapman and Johnson reliant. What makes their forward line great is the delivery they recieve, their midfielders don't bomb long, rather they pick their man well and expect leads to be presented.

Our forward line looks a bit like a young Geelongs (it needs 5 years). Provided we keep our delivery even and ensure people like Jack can kick 40-50 and someone like Fev could kick 40-50 we'd be laughing. If it became the Fev show, yes that would be problemattic, but that's what coaching staff are for.

All and all, he's a good option for any team, provided all the traffic doesn't go his way.

Re: Fev trade

Cant see it happening just all a hoax imo.

BUT COLLINGWOOD IF THIS IS TRUE GET THE MAN IN THE BLACK AND WHITE ASAP

if we land fevola we will win the premiership.

he is 29 with about 2 quality seasons left in him, perfect timing for malthouse, i dont think bucks is the biggest fev fan. We eont have to give the whole list for him as he is 29

pick 14 and dawes should do the job.


Didak, Cloke, Davis
Anthony, Fevola , Medhurst

that spells arguably the best forward line in the league if cloke is firing.

please collingwood and throw our 3rd or 4th rounder at coughlan or tuck and we have a grandfinal mix.

Unfortunately our finals problems have been that 5 of those guys havent been firing at all.

Throw in Fev and we may have 6 not firing, but i would hope that Fev would change the dynamics immensely.

Does look good though, but i honestly can't see Dawes getting the deal done.

What trade a genuine AA goalkicking machine for basically a dud pick 14 and a guy who can't get into the Pies senior team.

Carlton supporters would piss em self reading that.

If someone was willing to give up pick 5 for Fev Carlton would just take pick 5 and cut out the middle man.

Give them what they want.

Re: Blues to trade Fevola

I'm a bit sceptical of what we have to give up to get Fev.

I'm prepared to part with our 1st but not a Ben Reid/Nathan Brown too.

Can't see us getting a deal done with the Blues.

However, if we did secure Fev, the Collingwood poster with the name "Fev to Pies" won't look so stupid now.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Re: Blues to trade Fevola

I would offer Pick 14 plus one of either Jack Anthony or Chris Dawes.

I don't think two leading full forwards will work in the same side which make Jack Anthony expendable. Chris Dawes is definitely expendable as I don't really understand the hype about him. Chris Bryan out played Dawes in the VFL while playing up forward. Nathan Brown and Ben Reid should be off limits as they are needed to shore up the defense when Presti and Leigh Brown retires.

And finally, speculation of offloading Leon Davis is ludicrous. The man had his best season to date, named an all Australian and recently signed a new contract. Leon is going nowhere.

Re: Blues to trade Fevola

And we won the flag because when it counted all we had to do was shut down their main avenue to goal, easy peasy when you rely so heavily on one player.

I'd say their inaccuracy in front of goal had a bit more to do with losing than Reiwoldt. I'd be pointing fingers at Milne, Schneider, Montanga and Clarke among others before Reiwoldt.

I think it's that Calrotn Troll again who was carded pretending to be a Cats supporter. Sorry Blues, you lose.

Pick 14 and any 2 of Wellingham, Dawes and Goldsack.

Yep, but why does Carlton have to know?

I'm just concerned about all the rumours about how we desperately want to secure Butcher with an inside 7 pick. I couldn't ever see this being possible yesterday, but now!

I'm not sure how it could be done, and your right, Carlton would rather deal directly with the pick maybe, but they dont look like they have anyone to fill this void left by Fev, young or old. So maybe they will be keen on Cloke from us or another established goalkicker.

I mean your taking potentially 80 - 90 goals a year from the Carlton side and they are going to need to find these goals elsewhere. They won't come from a 17-19 KP prospect. They need a replacement as Cam Cloke/Ohailpin/Kruezer are not going to do this.

 

[BlueTouchPaper]

Re: Blues to trade Fevola

Get Fev, but don't give away Dawes. Fev is getting on, Dawes will develop.

We'll be looking for a complete forward line replacement I daresay, JA and pick; or Dawes and another, but, I'm not sure what you guys think - we could demand anything.

Doesn't mean we will get what we want.

Best FF in the league over the past 3 or so years, and would give you guys a real boost. I think Carlton will accept genuine players with the best part of their career ahead of them.

I 'think' we value the Cloke brothers approximately the same. Both are too inconsistent. And not natural goal kickers

Kreuzer has the potential to be anything. And as far as I'm concerned has more potential as a centre-half-forward than anyone else on either of our lists. This might be a career changing trade for him.

Re: Fev trade

Would I want him at Collingwood. Hell yeah! If he has as suggested nominated us as one of the clubs (due to Eddie's influence I believe), we would be silly not to entertain the possibility and try and work out a deal. This youth policy in place currently can only get you so far, we have deficiencies up forward, in midfield and the ruck. This would go a long way to fixing up the forward line.

He may only have 3 or so good years left, but that may be good enough to get us over the line come GF day in the short term.

I wouldn't think twice about putting Dawes name up in a potential trade. The only sticking point would be whether Carlton would want to trade with us considering our premiership window is nigh. That is the biggest hurdle to overcome.

 

[shawthing09]

Re: Fev trade

No point saving for a future that never comes.

Pick 14 in a weak draft is no garunteed gem. Medhurst is 28 too. Cloke has never shown an ability to be the number 1 foward. Dawes is a slow KPP who would have more luck marking over head if he shut his eyes. Goldsack is a HBF of which we have many and Wellingham is a talanted player who is yet to show the desire and work ethic to make it in the big league.

Meanwhile Fev is 28, will be at a new club, new restrictions in his contract will hopefully have recieved the wake up call he needs. Is a FF whose body has been sound, easily has 4 years of good football left at least.

I would trade pick 14 and Dawes for Fev in a heartbeat. I think now you have taken the moral high ground to trade it lessens your bargaining position considerably. What you get for him will depend on competition for his signature. I just can't see him staying at Carlton now. The whole club would lose alot of credibility if they kept him now.

To quote myself "and struggled in the grand due to 2-3 manning against him."


Go troll elsewhere you noob, or grow a spine and post on your main account.

Re: Fev trade

It will be interesting to see the outcome. The problem Carlton faces right now is that by the time the players at the football club are really challenging for a premiership, Fev may be finished.

Do they have the balls to trade Fev, move backwards for a year or 2, recruit a player with a first round pick as well as trade for a player like Dawes and maybe Wellingham and develop them with their young side to be a premiership threat.

I think if they traded Fev, their football club would be stronger in the years to come.

Now way would I have JA as part of any deal. He has the potential to play in the backline if we need him to. And he is one of the only decent kicks we have!

Re: Fev trade

I dont see him going anywhere in the end but think Peter Everitt and Tony Lockett.

Thier clubs never suffered with them leaving.

Re: Fev trade

Seems that Fev is on a 700k a year deal, with 2 years left on it.

This allows for a "different" trade then normal.

A club, may offer to pay the full contract, in return for not giving away as many draft picks/players as Fev would normally be worth.

I wonder whether we have 700,000 room in our salary cap, my guess would be at the moment, yes, but after adding 3-4 draft picks and maybe promoting Blair, the answer would be no.

Just throws another "spanner" into the Fev Trade Works.
