Don't get disheartened by the vocal minority grro... I reckon most here are comfortable Swann and co are going to get the business done.

One look at the chief protagonists in this current media flare up should give everyone comfort that behind the scenes it's being ironed out nicely. We are, after all, talking about a couple of people who couldn't have got it more wrong on a couple of big issues in the last 12 months.

Reminds me of a bunch of seagulls fighting over a chip.

Couldn't agree more grrofunger.

I think its un-Carlton like to bag our own players and it shows that those people aren't true Carlton supporters.

We have the best FF in the comp and a once in a generation FF and "supporters" want to trade hime etc.... PATHETIC !!!!

When he re-signs and continues to win games for us like he has been those same people will be cheering him etc....PATHETIC !!!!

Only mucking around.

Unfortunately there have been a large group of Carlton supporters frothing at the mouth at Fev from the outer since 1999. They will never change.

Sure thing. Arguing amongst ourselves and railing against sections of the club is part of what makes being a supporter fun.

Maybe I should not have included 'unfortunately' in the statement, but it is fun to be provocative. :wink:

And since I don't think I've mentioned it yet... (but I have Bluezheimers - everything Carlton is just a lovely warm haze for me) - I think the way the footy show did this is going to stick in Fev's throat for a while.... He didn't seem terribly impressed at them basically bringing him on because of Hutchy's "scoop"....

its gonna be one hell of a massive apology card

supporters my ass


lapping up the media rubbish like gospel - its pathetic


Yes, g/funger, I agree, but he's used the media to an extent to negotiate the contract. He was on TFS scoffing at a 1 or 2 year deal and clauses etc. That much we all saw with our own eyes.

Then you have the rumours from fight night and join the dots. We all want it put to bed and I'm sure you're right that the deal will be done. As observers we have no control and hope that we'll leave enough in the kit to get another big name to the club.

I don't want to get rid of Fev, but I'd be happy for the club to entertain the trade option if his demands out strip his worth.

2 sides to a coin

Gun player
match winner
power forwards are rare
worth a lot to the club with his image



dic--ead
hasnt been a team player
Talking to the Richmond Cheer squad when Murphy was having a shot and it could have dropped short. Still has to be the centre of attention in a team sport

Stiil pays out on teammates


A dodgy groin and he is 28 in January
I would have gone with a 2 year deal with a few behavourial clauses

He is obviously not going to get that because he is the number one forward bar Buddy in the competition.

His in form and there is a limited time span in a players career so he will go for the max. The bad part of that is that we see the bad side of Fev. He doesnt look at the overall picture.

The Swans take advantage of this situation by offering him big money because they can. And 4 years The living allowance they get in Sydney is 750000 a stupid thing given its almost just as expensive to live in Melbourne.

Lynch comes across as the perfect player agent.
He is a prick

And he knows that if he feeds and leaks to the media which he obviously has about Sydney being involved then it puts pressure on Carlton to up the anty, the club that could have chucked Fevola out for his repeated childish antics.

Of course Fev could just sign the thing couldnt he.


If you look at the team this year and how its going we get the ball in the forward 50 more often than most other teams but are percentage for scoring against entry to forward 50 is one of the lowest.
This aint fevs fault as we go to him too often anf we are too predictable. We need a spread of goal kickers with less focus on the Fev.

How do you reckon Fev would cope with this. Not too well I reckon.

Lets not forget Fevola is in the peak of his career.
Yep he is a matchwinner.
But this contract thing has been going on long enough.

IMO he is lucky he is getting 3 years.
Players can be champions at 27
Washed up at 30
Particularly playing in a power forward roll
Loyalty is a diminshing value these days.

Still will be cheering him when he kicks a sausage roll on Friday night

This Fevola bashing thing has gone on forever, but then he gets cheered when he wins us games. It makes me ill. I have been complaining about this for ages.

Yeh, some of you all like the nice guys, who will smile when we lose, who will say "thats ok if you pass me a shit ball". Get over yourselves. We will only improve when guys are hard on themselves and others.

eg Johnson telling Ablet off on the weekend for not following team game plan.

Good guy, Wiggins. We go to the footy to watch him win you a game......

Pathetic really.

Agree with you on the Fev bashing - and I know the Wiggo thing here is all half-smart - but in all honesty - Wiggo HAS probably won us the last three Ws....

He's a marked player, for varied form in the past, but he's performed marvellously of late.
