TalkingCarlton :: View topic - Fevola's signature allows Blues to focus on finals

Can the Blues win a premiership with such heavy reliance on one goalkicker?

Maybe not, but with Judd, Nick Stevens, Marc Murphy and Bryce Gibbs (and maybe Daniel Kerr) pumping the ball forward from the centre-square, who's to say definitely not?

Fev will top the goalkicking at Carlton this year for the sixth year in a row. For the purposes of the argument, let's give him another 24 goals this year for a total of 99.

That would give him 420 in six seasons, an average of 70. As frustrating as he can be, that's why he isn't going anywhere.

Is he really on 750,000 a year ??? I thought it was 700 !!!!!!!!!!

I REALLY HOPE THAT FIGURE IS INFLATED !!!!!!!!!!!

other way around, darknavy.

09 and10 aren't when we'll want salary cap relief: we'll want that in 2011 when Gibbs and Kruezer and Jamo and Murph are up for seriously big dollars.

We'll be most likely trying to front-load the Fev contract, because we''ve got plenty of room now.

It is probably right but I doubt that the figures would be that evenly spread - he will probably get something like 550K for the 1st 2 years and then $1.1M for year 3 where they only need to claim half in the cap

A real "8 point" game. As important a game as we've played for a long time. At least since last week's important game :lol:

As an opposition supporter, who just loves footy, I have to say I was pleased when Fev signed. Aside from not minding the big fella, it's always nice to see players showing loyalty and sticking with the one club.

I sympathised with what you guys had to go through during the past few weeks and understood your frustration.

It was good the contract was signed and he (and you) could move on.

So in having said all that, was disappointed to read this article this morning. Was it really necessary? Shit article full of fluff that adds nothing to anything. Especially Brendan or football. It's rather embarrassing really..

I think it's great publicity for her upcoming book....she is a successful businesswoman, don't let's forget.

"I am writing a book about inspirational Australians.

Brendan isn't in it, only because it's too close to home.

But I do think he's an inspiration and role model to kids, in a football sense"

There has been no official mention of what he is earning. The figure is speculative, so hold with a grain of salt.

This is the first chance i have had to come on since he signed and by GOD it's awesome! Knowing he isn't going anywhere makes such a difference when you watch a game. Every time he marks that ball, scores that goal, I won't be thinking "too bad it's going to finish soon" I am now thinking "he will be here for his entire career, no other team will have the joy of his services" With everyone else at the club knowing that you would have to think that would boost morale & that can go a long way into giving hope for a finals campaigne when most of the odds are stacked against us.

I think the idea was that in his third year Fev will be eligible for the veteran's list whereby only half his salary will go towards the salary cap. The value of loyalty.

Only have his average salary per year is included in the Cap. In other's wprds, front-loaded/back-loaded it will be still be $350,000 (assuming $2.1 mil over 3 years). Fev's contract's, as well as Judd' is front-loaded while there's still room in the Cap.

A win would also put us level with Collingwood if the Pies lose to Hawthorn and above Richmond when they lose to Geelong. Go further again, and draw a long bow, if the Swans lose to the Dogs we're 6 pts off a double chance and we get to rue our 2pt loss to the Swans. All the with Port Adelaide at home to come next week. On the other hand, in a close competition for places, a loss could stuff us completely for the year. A real "8 point" game. As important a game as we've played for a long time. At least since last week's important game .

Gee I don't know Mandy....I learnt from that article that Fev is just an ordinary bloke. I had no idea before that.
