Fev needs to tone down the on-field whinging but the club needs to make an approach to the Umpires Department because Fevola is clearly being treated differently to every other Key Forward in the AFL.



very important this aspect i think.

he gets nearly flower ass raped at times, yet gets nothing

I just watched the Essendon* replay and think people may be focusing on Fev too harshly IMHO.
There were several times where Fev let others - Sentanta among others take marks around him, worked hard to clear space, congratulated others after kicking goals and to me looked to be clearly under 100% fitness. Yeah he spat the dummy once against Mal Michael... But if you watch most games most full forwards do and thats a sign of their frustration.
To say that Fev lacks versatility is incorrect as he has moved to half forward and in to the back half occasionally. But isn't he the full forward? He's there to be a target and is usually double teamed. Allowing others lesser opponents and opportunities to crumb.
As others have said he wants to stay... Just because it's uncertain when the next premiership does not mean we should trade our full forward who's got 5 - 7 years left. Really good forwards should not be traded when we are starting to turn the corner.
And if people think he is such a bad team mate, a trouble maker and not in the team spirit etc, what makes some say we should be entitled to he best young talent on offer for him. Other clubs are not going to open up their lists for us to pick from.
It's not a dig at anyone, IMHO I just think he's a required player.

I'm more in favour of keeping Fev then letting him go but if we think about it, it could be worthwhile.

If we were to trade Fev and say we get a decent player (midfielder or backman) plus a first or second round pick (would depend on the player we got) then add this to the possible draft picks.

Lets assume we get picks 1 and 3 for starters. We pick Kruezer at 1 and then say Bongetti from the Northern Knights (leading goalkicker/forward) with pick 3. The midfielder we may have picked up with the third pick would have come via the trade we got for Fev. Next picks if we are lucky may be between picks 3 and say pick 20. We can then use these two picks to get another midfielder and KPP.

With players such as Palmer, Grimes, Cotchin, Hurley, Rioli, Selwood, Meredith, Vezpremi, etc there is still a chance we could get one of these midfielders or other.

Example 2 - Say the Bulldogs wanted Fev and they gave up there first pick say '8' plus a decent player then we would definately have a chance at an all round win.

Worth thinking about!!!!
Bongetti at pick 3,did i miss something,never heard of him.

Bongetti is full forward for the Knights. Kicked 40 goals in 2006 and is currently on 47 goals for the season so far. Not sure that his the best full forward going around but have been keeping an eye on him over the last couple of years.
