Fev up for trade

Re: Fev up for trade

Why the hell would i make i up? It was reported last year that Rocket spoke to Fev & his management team, and we baulked at the $800,000 he put on his head per season!

I am not in the position to know if that was fact, just as i stated, it was reported.

SHEESH!

Sorry. I apologise.

The journo who wrote the article you read made it up.

Re: Fev up for trade

I can recall Eade talking about how he had enquired about a well known key forward but would not meet his financial demands. It was obvious to me that it was Fev at the time.

All good SS, it was actually on the news one time, and i remember them showing pictures of Rocket running from some sort of meeting in the city, it may have been 2 years ago and confused it with last year, maybe it was one of Hutchy's stories gone wrong!

But yeah, was definatly reported.

Re: Fev up for trade

There is no way Fev would kick 100 goals at the Bulldogs. We have a different forwardline set-up that is based on unpredictable leading forwards, both making space for one forward, one goalsneak & hoping 4 others can contribute.

Hall leads up the field further than Fev which I see as a positive - we have struggled to show any semblance of HF line when teams zone hard against us.

This is before we weigh up the cost in terms of $$$ and trade value. On balance, Hall looks a much better option than Fev.

Carlton is the perfect team when it comes to Fevola kicking most goals as possible. Their midfield/runners care a lot more about attacker than defending and they don't have any other avenue to goal.

Re: Fev up for trade

I have had that feeling all the way along, but feel a little less certain after the last few statements.

Fev to stay with Carlton is paying $6, sounds like pretty juicy odds to me!

Where do I find these odds?

Re: Fev up for trade

Fev for our 1st round pick, Hahn and Everitt

Havent we been looking for a class forward to get us across the line and win the big one, why wouldnt we go lock stock and barrel to get Fev (Coleman medalist) we are going after big bad Barry who's reputation is no better than Fev's.
For pete's sake do anything and everything we can to get him, he could well be our saviour!!!!!

Channel 10 had them displayed during sport news, but I think they might have made an error. Checked Sportsbet site (which I think they referenced) and they aren't taking bets for him to stay. If he stays, all bets void.

Pump the breaks.

The day Fevola is a saviour of any kind should signal the beginning of Armageddon.

And to suggest Barry's reputation is anywhere near as toxic as Fevola's is just wrong, IMO.

No really, but the media have it seems. I think it has been argued adequately in this thread that the club is risking less trading for Hall than Fevola (have a read over the thread).

Fev will not be our savior. I am of the line of thinking that Fevola can kick 75+ goals for us, but we can't sell our soul, our own reputation and risk the young impressionable players having a madman like Fevola in our midst. I want a club I can be proud of first and a Premiership next, they are mutually exclusive in the Fevola sense.

Has everyone missed the whole we-don't-have-enough-money-to-keep-the-AA-full-back thingy?


Leon Davis > West Coast for pick 7
Ben Reid > Dogs
Dre > Carlton
Pick 7 > Carlton

Re: Fev up for trade

Although unlikely (hopefully) going into '10 with NO bookends is a possibility. Scary thought if we don't have any of Lake, Hall or even Fevola or equiv..

Re: Fev up for trade

Geez, we are a bit harsh on posters simply mentioning trade rumours that have heard from journalists. It's not like they are just mentioning stuff from BigFooty (I know it can often be practically the same thing). As much as I appreciate it, not everyone has great sources. By all means inform a poster how they are misinformed, just don't see the need to be condescending/snide/insert superiority complex related adjective here.

Posting rumour by journalist is fair enough but saying things like 'Rocket wanted him' is poor when its heresay and highly unlikely.
