i'm not sure you are understanding this :garthp: thing.

my general response to someone typing :garthp: is how about you get [REDACTED].
but this one i'm not so sure about.

Don't be surprised if Collingwood come knocking. Rusling will never play due to injury..Rocca will have to be replaced (and soon) and a Fev, Medhurst, Didak, Thomas and Cloke forward line would be potent. They're after a Power Forward and whilst Fev would ideally like to stay at Carlton for the rest of his career - if the money and the length ain't what he thinks his value is - the Pies will be first in line. Don't forget that Mark Kleimann (former Collingwood operations mgr and runner) heads up the Victorian office of Velocity and would be very keen to a) land his client the big contract and b) get Brendan to the Pies.

Fev's form in 2008 is just raising his market value. I'd love to see him stay - but the only options available in my eyes are 3 years (if we want him to stay and think he can help bring us finals success) or trade (if we don't think he'll be kicking goals in 2-3 years time when we should be in the finals.)

It's a tough call - I don't envy the men who have to make it.
Envy it?!! Not a tough call at all in the mind of the club. The club's about to embrace him and start negotiations for a long-term contract next month. As they should. Tough call? You wouldn't think twice!!!

Imagine they'll be clauses involved.

You've missed the point there, Steve. The problem is a series of events that stretch back to 1999. His disrespect for his team mates on and off the field is/was disgusating. His attitude toward the club was not much better.

Yes, he can play very good footy at times, but he isn't the model footballer we'd hope for out of a 27YO. If he's worth 2 1st rounders I say we seriously think about it.

Remember - one more F-up and he's gone for next to nothing. ATM we're $5K up at midnight and have to decide whether to cash in our chips and go home, or play on til dawn and risk losing the lot.
Don't care about the model footballer. He doesn't have to be the pillar of society (couldn't care less about that) as long as he in form and kicking goals. That's what it's all about. 2 first rounders will not make up for an 80 goal FF. They're rare and hard to find. Plus drafted KP kids take 3 years to develop. That would set us back, especially as we have no other KP forwards. I'm sure you smart enough to see that.

As I said in my last post, negotiations are about to start for a long-term contract to get used to it.

Lets get some perspective here, we have the best full forward in the AFL and we are nervous about signing him in case he misses the toilet when nature calls, time to get real and grow up. Give him the 3 year deal with performance bonuses to keep his focused and move on.


Thankyou Steve

Massive media beat up. I have written a short thesis about on on here at the time of the pissing incident.

The masses fall for it because if it is repeated over and over again it eventually becomes the truth.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

I am a Fev fan, and I feel he has done a lot of good for the club over the years, he has spit the dummy, but I think I would too in a side he has been playing in.

Now I don't know how common a ciew this is but the real people who have let down Carlton over the 2002-07 years are not Fev - they are the few experienced players it got all too hard for - such as the Whitnall's and Campo's of the world, who would either not put enough in off the field (Lance) or sulk while on it at the lack of easy ball(Campo). Then again, it didn't help having a prick coach everyone hated, but thats another issue.

Fev has done some silly things but IMO has been an unfair scapegoat whenever anything goes wrong, like just blame your only star player who is getting shitty with being triple teamed with shitty delivery from McCormack, Eccles, Fletcher, Bannister or whoever.

Fev has frustrated me at times, but all things considered, his return has been far more positive than negative. He is not a leader, and now we have a bit more of a leadershio group building he should be fine.

Good post Adam Chatfield.

Whether they're mild indescretions or not, all players, Fev included, know the media will jump on anything and run with it in a negative fashion. Current and potential sponsors don't like this publicity and that's where it hurts the club ... (potential) $$$

Someone said something to me today which at first I thought was fanciful, but upon reflection he's got an interesting angle. He said, if we hadn't had Fevola for the past six years, there's a good chance the Carlton Football Club, as we know it, would be history right now.

A two year perfomance based contract would be a safe bet.

For the first time i was starting to think about life after Fevola, due to the the 4am, 4 days before the start of the season, which has had the biggest build up in CFC history, fiasco.

So far this season he has worked hard, and kept the dummy spits to a minimum. Not to mention he has kicked a bag of goals so far, including being best on ground in the HOF game...


I think he is genuinely sorry, and finally becoming a man......

He'll want 3 the club will want 2 .... I reckon they'll sign "the Acland Contract"... 2 years with the option of a third on the proviso that the terms and conditions of the first 2 years are met...

I'd be happy with that i'm sure both club and player would settle on that also....

The downside would be that i suspect, if this was the case ( third year option) the contract would be, quite lucrative for 2 years.

For the record i voted 3.

Actually Fev has been quite guilty of not putting in enough on the training track and of sulking on the field when things got difficult. Yet because he kicks goals regularly these factors seem to be conveniently overlooked.

FWIW, I've voted for 2 years

I have a bit of a question on the assumption some here are making about getting two 1st round draft picks for him.

Considering what is going to be happening to the draft over the next few years, I highly doubt we can assume clubs are going to be happy to give up two first rounders now for a 28yo forward, no matter how good he might be. Teams are absolutely going to have to hit on their high picks over the next 3-4 years to stay competitive long term. Unless a team were absolutely convinced Fev would land them a flag, I can't see them handing over two high picks.
