Barry Hall applied himself under the right coach, why cant Fev?
Fev is fit and physically capable unlike Lance who is decline with a wonky knee and weight problems.
Lance should have been traded a couple of years back when he was worth something...
Fev has kicked 50+ goals without really applying himself.....imagine if Ratten can get his head right and a half decent game plan.
Fev can improve his output...Lance will be battling to maintain what he has over the last couple of years which has been bugger all in reality.

I think the choice of who to keep and who to let go is easy.....

Interesting. So you don't have to be an out and out superstar at 18 years of age to contribute to a Premiership. You don't HAVE to be a number one draft pick to have played in a Premiership. I am totally aghast at this news! Whoever would have thought it??


This from a geezer whose sole purpose in life at the moment is to barrack against us, watch us lose every game so we can draft the A #1 buzz schoolboy champion who will lift us to premiership glory over and over and over again all on his own boot. This as an insurance policy so that he doesn't play well against us for the next decade or so.

Contradictions oozing out everywhere from this blokes mouth.


Sorry to point out your deficiencies from time to SB but a/ there are so many of them (and I don't even bother reading most of your dribble) and b/ they are so damned hilarious.

I am still waiting for the promised "Voss as coach" and now apparently it is gonna be Ratten. Well BLOW ME DOWN! Do you really think Ratten is in the mix?? God, whoever your source is must really be close to the club!

Shit, I'm still waiting on something huge to happen on a Friday.
But of course.. you were right about Pagan coming to Carlton 5 years ago.. along with half the populated world. Well done on that one!

Before this year Glass has regularly trailed Fev around the oval with his pants around his ankles...

And for all those who think that Matt Kruezer is going to be the panacea for all our ills and weaknesses and that we should go all out to get him, think about this.


In 20 years of drafts since 1986, a grand total of how many Top 10 draftees have actutally played in Premierships.


200 guys drafted in the top 10 in all those years.

And the answer.

19.

LESS THAN 10% OF TOP 10 DRAFT PICKS HAVE PLAYED IN A PREMIERSHIP!

I've always said we should trade away our First, Second and Third Round Draft Picks - and head straight for Picks 50 and beyond - thats where all the real Premiership talent lies.

What is it they say about taking a shovel and start digging and you end up in .................. the looney bin.

With 16 clubs in the competition you're only a 1 in 16 chance to play in a premiership each year - top 10 draft or not.

It all depends on the cattle around you.

Take a look at the percentages for ALL players - I'm sure it will be just as low.

Don't look at the draft from 1986-1994 as those years were more to do with the VFL,i think the real draft was after that.

Absolutely pointless checking Fev's stats vs the likes of the best defenders until we get our ruck and midfield sorted.
Once we can win the ruck contests decisively and consistently and pump the ball in quickly to Fev on the lead THEN compare how he rates.

Fev would have to be the best forward in the comp at the moment on the basis of goals kicked for the amount of opportunities presented.
IMHO, if we added even a B+ ruckman and a mature aged midfielder then Fev would consistently kick 100 a year.

Fev has changed his attitude and led the way with his tackling since his return.
We should only trade him for the "absolute deal of the century, " IF he says that he no longer wants to be at the club.

As for Big Red...........time to make way for the next generation.

for some reason the top draft picks always end up at the weak clubs...

Ummmmmmmmm

theres a reason Fevs trade value went up!!!!!!!!!!

Its cos hes the best forward in the league and anyone talking about trading him l have no respect for and have no idea.

If you watched his last few games, hes tackling, chasing, shepharding, handballing to team mates, doing the team things.

For you Fev trade talkers, how about u come to the games instead of watching it on tv

Lol, i guess we should win the next 3 games then

top 10 picks are a curse

Way to miss the point.

Fev's trade value just went up because the market for quality forwards just got smaller.

Supply and demand.

Nah didnt miss the point, l know you werent suggesting to trade him but a lot of people on here would take that as we could trade fev for a top player and have wet dreams over it

I'm just sick of hearing the fev trade thing, it wont happen unless he wants it too

You dont go on footy classified and say you wanna stay a blue with 3 games to go in the season then ask for a trade. and he holds all the cards at trade time not the club under his contract.

No, no, no, no and no. The club holds the cards. There is a rule that stops a player being traded under contract, but only in the year they signed the contract.
