Judd's groin is in such a state that he could barely lift his legs the other night...he walked off and apparently shook his head as if to say 'i cant take anymore' i cant believe people (who want whitnall gone for his injuries) want to get Judd!...sure he's in the best 2 players in the league. But Fevola is a 100+ goalkicker, they dont grow on trees, midfields of B+ calibur can feed to great full forwards and make a club successful, look at the Swans with Hall, and The Pies to Rocca/Cloke...we have NO need for Judd, sure he's amongst the best i've seen but no matter the offer, Fevola shouldn't be on the table for trade.
IMHO there's no arguing Fev's a champion.
I think the main points are:
1) for how long will he be a champion? And will that coincide with the our rise up the ladder and shot at the cups? Or does that even matter, because like Danny says, every game is important and meaningfull. My biggest fear with Fev is that within 3 years he will be gone... either because of a) his attitude issues leading to him giving it away or being dumped; b) his body not holding up; c) like B Graham, leaving to try his hand in the NFL (temptations of easy/big money). Or a combination of the above.
2) Does his hissy fits negatively affect the team more than his genius and match winning abilities?
My hearts says keep him, my head says trade him - but only for a positive deal, for example picks 5 & 7, or Cooney/Harris/Griffin & a top 10 pick
My gut says no deal will happen and he'll be staying
