Are you blokes for real ? You wouldnt take back Fev if he was the last piece of the jigsaw ? our window IS starting to open.What we desperately need to complete the picture is a big strong goalkicker.And a reformed Fev is that man and he is one of ours.With all due respect to the young 'uns coming up,they aint in the same league as Fev..........the young'uns are very promising,its just that they dont kick goals.......................Fevs manager Lynch played in a premiership when he was 34 so dont give me he's too old.

Its not the age factor for Fev - he's a bad influence, how nice is it when as a supporter you only read about what we are doing as a playing group to get better rather then why about a disruptive influence around the club

you'd still haev Angwin at the club too, am I right in saying this or did I misinterpret what you said once before????

BlueDW · **Posted:** Fri Mar 04, 2011 8:16 pm

I can't believe that there are still supporters out there who would take Fev back with open arms???? The mind boggles.

Give me a Waite, Hendo, Walker, Garlett, Betts combo over a ninety goal, selfish, non tackling, pPrima Donna FF anyday. We are clearly more able to win a premiership without him!

Go Blues!

The amount of discussion Fevola attracts on other topics shows how much of a distraction he would be.

If I was a betting man, I would think the odds would be around 1 mil to 1.

But my imagination is picturing a reformed, remarried, church going, AA member, gamblers anon member, reinvented Fev, playing in a Premiership with the Blues and being a role model for new recruits. ( I did say it was my imagination - which can get carried away under certain conditions :beer:

)

It would be the football equivalent of Kerry Packer selling Channel 9 to Allan Bond for Billions (?) and buying back a year or so later for a few hundred mil.

Even as an ardent Fev hater, after watching a few of his highlight packages in big games, the suggestion has an unexpected appeal.

I have a dilemma. I used to own a Ferrari but sold it a year back. Evan though it was expensive to maintain, I loved it and really enjoyed it when it was performing at its best – which was superb.

However, I eventually decided to sell it after it developed performance problems. I realised that the running costs of around $600k per year were not worth it and an offer I was made was too good to resist. The purchaser offered to trade me two less expensive sports models that I considered had the potential to develop into classics. I accepted and the deal thus far has proven to be a great one for me. The Ferrari has continued to break down and has been confined to the workshop in recent times. The new owner had to deregister it and yet still pay for repair work and continue to pay the extremely high hire purchase fees. The two trade-ins I received have performed well, with every indication that they will continue to improve with further fine tuning.

The dilemma that I am faced with is that I could buy back the Ferrari at a fraction of its earlier value and still retain the trade-ins that I originally received. The main issue that I am concerned about is that I would have to house the Ferrari in a secure environment which would force one of the newer models out of the garage. Whilst I would still own the newer models they might not continue to develop if I have to dedicate my resources to servicing the Ferrari.

On reflection, I think I will let someone else enjoy the fluctuating emotions involved in owning such a cantankerous, demanding high performance vehicle

He may not be too old Mick, but surely he is too stupid. He used up about ten last chances at the Blues and proceeded to demonstrate that he has learnt nothing by getting sacked within a year by the Lions. He hasn't changed in 12 years of AFL, if anything he has got worse. No chance he'll be at Carlton next year, we need the talent, but not the childish, disruptive, selfish behaviour

Always love your stuff Gerry...............agree with everything you say Gerry.Im saying i would take him back if he is reformed............thats a longshot i know,but nevertheless,if you aint in it,ya cant win it.And Fev is in it.He is obviously getting expert treatment that he has never had before,It MAY just work,and if it does,bring him home.

Giday Bomba..............never said that i wanted Angwin back.I have just stated many times that the CFC with our history is not a place to cast aspertions on peoples character.You have been around a while Bomba,and you know plenty of our past champs would make the likes of Fev and Anwin look like choir boys..........
And on the subject of Angwin,if he did reform and turn over a newleaf,YES,i would take him back.Im just prepared to give people more than one chance.People CAN change.

Fev has had more than enough chances. he is an amazingly talented, yet selfish footballer with a destructive influence on the club he plays for. we did very well in the trade for him, and are nicely placed right now. he is an enigmatic part of Carlton's history, but he shouldn't be part of its future.

Sorry Mick but I dont believe Fev will ever be reformed. He may have depression issues and he may have gambling and grog problems but they aren't the biggest issue for a football club. Fev is a petulant brat who needs everything on his own terms. Everything must be about him or he sooks up and chucks the toys out of the cot. That cant be fixed by medication or threats.
It's an inherent aspect of his personality that makes him who he is. IMO he can alter his actions and try to contain his behaviour but when the pressure is on or things dont go his way, he''ll inevitably revert back to who he really is.
It's time to look forward IMO.

From what, gambling? drinking? poor onfield attitude? poor attitude to training?

If Fev managed to find himself back at carlton, I'll fair dinkum organise a spill of the board.
Best thing we did in 10 years was sending him to Brisbane, now you want to bring him back,

People keep saying Cousins did this and Lynch did that. Those guys were committed footballers who never let their teammates down. Cousins had an addiction that he admitted to and worked on. Lynch had an illness that kept him out of footy for years. Came back fresh and free of soft tissue injuries.

ahhh, a refreshing dose of sanity. Couldn't possibly see a reason to take him back.

Mate, there would be no Carlton fan that wouldn't take him back in a heartbeat, provided that condition can be guaranteed.

History though tells us it's safer to own BP shares atm...

I don't want him back regardless of what conditions are attached. No condition could ever be guaranteed with Fev. We tried that many times and it failed.

We are moving on and our team is better off without him and always will be. I appreciate all the great games he played for the club but he is yesterday. I don't like it when clubs trade someone and decide they want them back a few years later. Except for maybe J.Murphy but only because of that memorable day at Visy Park in 2001. There was a nice story to it but at the end of the day it wasn't worth it, he didn't play great footy.

I can't think of one success story of a player coming back to Carlton after time away and having a big influence.
