We will not get Fev so lets move on.

Sure. I have a genuine question though that I raised above -- does a club take on a player's existing contract (if they are still under contract to their previous club) when they trade for them, or do they negotiate a completely new contract?

ps. Quite a few in the media are suggesting that we've got our feelers out for the Fev situation.. groundless speculation or smoke where there's fire?

*shrugs* Backend Fev's contract? Does a club take over an existing contract when they trade for a player? Don't they negotiate a new contract with the player? One would think that he can't be asking for TOO big coin if he's being traded out for behavioural issues.

He's got a 2 year contract worth 700K per annum. Someone has to pay him this. It doesn't get negotiated down.

This is why they wanted a 'dickhead' clause in his contract. It's ridiculous that he could essentially end his own career and potentially still get $1.4m for doing nothing over the next two years.

Lloyd did

Seeing as he's only 27, too, he would be there for the next 5 years at least.

Fev was born 20/01/1981, making him 29 next season
It would take to be a big chunk of his salary paid by Carlton and Lake leaving for us to be a chance salary cap wise you would think, and even then what do we give Carlton for him and what do we do for a FB? I think the Hall deal will get done and we won't chase another old KPF

Woofer should have been knighted for humping the magpie, thats surely a positive not a negative.
