The 'post-season' began about two months ago Mrs C.

At least this year there isn't all the off field stuff to deal with as well though Mrs Cazz

Yep....don't think we'll need "Warby's Scrapbook" this post season.

That doesn't really matter Mrs Caz!!! We just need Monday to get here so we"Carlton Tragics" can re-focus on our "Never Ending Season".

And ....... I don't think Fev is gonna go anywhere!! I can't see another Club sacrificing enough to make a trade feasible ..... and we need him!! On & off the field. All the kids worship him.

And Lance ...... I've always loved Lance .... but ... It kills me when he struggles to chase & jump & kick. (Although it was a Big mark he took against the Roos) ..... I don't know ...... Maybe it's time to move on to Coaching!! Life sometimes just isn't fair!!

C'mon monday ....... just hurry up!!

From today's Hun re Lance.

Apparently Ratts is sitting down to talk things over with Big Red next week. If Ratts made the hard call on Skinny, then I wouldn't be surprised to see him make the hard call on Lance. We'll see....

Great column.

It's a no-brainer for Blues - Trade Fev and tank:Dermott Brereton

If Fevola gets traded I will lose a great deal of respect for the club

And I will gain a great deal of respect for it, so the club's nett respect levels will remain unchanged

Whos gonna kick the goals? Fev may not kick 6 goals every game like he used to but he takes alot of pressure of all the other guys like Fisher,Lappin so that they can kick them(Hes also been injured), If you take away Fev your only going to put enormous pressure on the forward line.

I remember Campo giving away alot of free kicks back in the day but no one seemed to care because we were winning, Would you all be saying trade Fev if we made Finals this year? I doubt it, Who cares if he spits the dummy if I had his talent and kept finishing last every season id be angry too. What happens if this new Kreuzer kid spits the dummy like Fev? are you all gonna scream for his head?

Couldn't agree more, it is not about the individual it is about the CLUB!

Brereton is right on the money. It is exactly what Hawthorn did and look how they are going and how their future looks.

If people will not support the club or lose respect for the club because they are making the hard decisions to become a force again then they are not true Carlton supporters.

I will support the club 100% no matter what.

I keep reading 'This is what Hawthorn or StKilda have done' but correct me if I'm wrong but what have they won?

I didn't mention St Kilda!

Plus I said that Hawthorn are on the right track and have an exciting future. That doesn't mean a flag but they will be in the mix.

The trick for us is to learn from them and then do it better, that is what successful clubs do!!!!

Well the Saints were all the rage a couple of years ago how they traded Lockett and Hall and how they were gonna dominate the comp. Hawthorn are the new StKilda now that the Saints have fallen in a heap.

I say trade everyone who is not a top ten pick or under 23 yrs of age

trade and trade and trade, like swap cards, get it down to where we have 38 top ten picks, then we'd be a cert hey?

So you are saying the hawks have gone about it the wrong way???

it's not even close to what Hawthorn did. They traded two duds and 'fluked' 4 top 20 picks. If we can trade Whitnall and Thornton for 4 top 20 picks i'm all for it - but it won't happen.

Trading Fev is like Hawthorn trading the Franklin (another guy with questionable attitude, is a coward who leads wide or sits off the back of a pack to avoid contests and appears is one step away from controversy) and there is no way they will trade Franklin because despite his faults he has TALENT!!!

So, trading Fev is not following some 'model' ... it would be us inventing another way of making our own mistakes

You want to trade our only decent and experienced backliner?
