I appreciate your respect!
But before I answer something like this on a forum, I ask the people that make the decisions.
Agree with this.
But Miller hasn't accepted the deal yet has he? If he doesn't I could see us picking Fev up for peanuts to fill the same role. It'd be good if Griffiths came on and we didn't need him, but Miller proved to be quite valuable this year (in my opinion at least).
More likely to use it on Andrew Lovett if he is still available.
Us offering Miller another deal should put this ridiculous rumour to bed, it's not gonig to happen.
Wish there was as clear an argument as to why we'd avoid Lovett too, aside from the "surely no club is that stupid?"
Agree with this.

I think the "surely no club is that stupid" argument is the most compelling.
I am completely against recruiting Fevola. That being said, if we were interested, and that is a big IF I could see some positives in his recruitment. Yes, he has had his well publicised issues, but our forward is young. With all due respect to Miller, he isn't the most talented player, and is more at the club for his leadership. If Fev was here, we could almost guarantee a 40+ goal forward. Combine that with Jack, and Vickery and that would be in excess of 100 goals between the three of them. Don't forget, our KP forward line is still 23 and under (not including Miller). Fev was arguably the best forward of the last 10 years. Imagine the knowledge and experience he would be able to impart on Vickery, Riewoldt, and for the most part Griffiths, who I feel can be a carbon copy of Fev without the issues, fingers crossed. If we do get him, I'm sure Newy would be able to interject if Fev was going off the rails, and the knowledge he has, and can teach our forwards would make us a much better side.
That being said, I don't want Fev on the list at all. However, I would not object to him being on the Rookie list. He wouldn't play, but would still be able to teach TV, JR8 and Griffo a few tips and tricks.
I appreciate your respect!

Not sure that Fev and tips in the same post are appropriate.
The only club that would want him would be someone who is a chance to win the premiership in the next 2 years, which is not us.
When you consider the fact that Cuz was a premiership player, brownlow medalist and regarded as one of the fittest (if not the fittest) players in the league at the time, the wealth of knowledge and ability to teach, and not to mention the amount of Richmond supporters basically giving it to the club to get him. It's not hard to see why we took him, and our club greatly benefited from it both on and off field.we werent a chance to win a premiership yet we took cuz.
we werent a chance to win a premiership yet we took miller.
you dont have to be in a premiership window to take a mature player. there are all sorts of factors and scenarios why a club would take a player like fev.
Blair has said that they havent considered, or have not contemplated... both past tenths. That doesnt rule them out of considering it in the future.
Why invite publicity when the draft is not for another month. If they were ever going to consider it, it'll be 48hrs before the draft. Not ever before.
Not saying that he is/will be in their plans, but no club is going to want the attention for the next month if they were considering it. So everyone is going to be saying negative at this stage.
Simple.
