Fev's worth 800k a season to any club. There is room in our cap to give him what he's worth and his management know it. The Blues will give him 2.4k over 3 years and everyone will one happy. 
Sydney should make a play for him.

Not worried at all. Just the normal argy bargy that happens with contract negotiations. He'll stay at Princes Park.
Is it not a concern to any Blues that Fevola may baulk at a contract that has a couple of behavioural clauses in it? The vast majority of footballers are disciplined enough to try and do the right thing by both their club and their own career. If Fevola is so worried about a 'no alcohol' clause or some such, is that a suggestion he lacks the mental fortitude to give his best, and do what is needed to be done for the Blues to be a serious premiership threat? Or is it a signal that he isn't willing to show the discipline that is needed for team success?
I am sure that no Cat players would now need to be on such a contract, although Steve Johnson obviously had his issues in years gone by.

It's probably more in the realm of old habits are hard to break.

If I was Carlton I'd be thinking very carefully before offering him more than 650K/season or 3 years. To me the offer sounds quite fair.Not worried at all. Just the normal argy bargy that happens with contract negotiations. He'll stay at Princes Park.
With all the high draft picks Carlton have scored recently they will need some room in the cap in the coming years to keep those players are Princes Park. Could be tough to do if they give in to Fev's greed now and up the offer.
If Judd is on the supposed 1 million I think Fevola expected to be a lot closer to the mark especially as he is older and this may be his carreer high paying contract, Like Jerry Maguire - show me the money.
Fev wants Judd's deal.
Imagine if it didn't get signed. Fevola to Melbourne and Blues get Naitanui????

Ffs.
No. Only teams who have a chance to win a flag in the next 1-4 years would be interested in snagging Fev.
If true this bloke is ####ing kidding himself. Don't get me wrong he can turn a game like few else. But geez he has given Carlton head aches for years. Incident after incident. Onfield and off. They could have been forgiven for de listing him before the season. So he manages to keep out of trouble and kick some goals for half a year. Now as a 27yo he is knocking back 2 million for three years? That is pathetic. Seriously I would not want a guy like that at my club. Supposedly another club is happy to pay about $800k a year? If I were Carlton I'd be tempted to say gtfo.

Umm OK....
I doubt Fev would be unhappy with the money, just the behavioural clauses and behavioural based bonuses. From Carlton's perspective i think its fair enough and if Fev doesnt want to agree to the terms they should trade him. But i doubt Fev will leave now that the club is on the rise.
Wouldnt most of their players be put on the veterans list freeing up their salary cap??
You can only have 2 players on the "veterans list" and currently the Swans veterans list is full.
The problem is that Ryan O'Keefe's contract is expiring at the end of 2008 and he wants a new contract aswell as a pay increase (which he certainly deserves). The problem is our cap is completely full and wont be freed up until the end of the 2009 season.
At the end of the 2009 season we will have a tonne of room in the cap as players like Leo Barry, Michael O'Loughlin, Spida Everitt, Tadhg Kennelly and possibly Barry Hall will all be retiring and as you all know all those players are being paid quite alot.
The last big contract is always problematic, Fev knows this is the retirement plan contract, he can't really afford to go into it with a weak contract if he wants to maximise his nest egg from football.

The thing is Zvim, I don't think a nest egg is really relevant for Fev. 10 or 20 grand is not going to make too much difference for him in the long run.
I think it's coming down to his management who are going to try and screw Carlton over. Carlton have stuck by him, he should learn to re-pay the faith so to speak...either that or he can hit the bricks as far as I am concerned...

With Pratt punted there may be serious doubt on where the future money would be coming from
