I want Fev to stay......on our terms.
Just guessing:
3 years
500K pa
good behaviour clause
Got Buckleys of that happening.
Do I still want Fev to stay? Well I'm old school at times and I want him to stay a Blue forever....but I have learned that too much money. long term contract and injury don't pay dividends to the club.
Furthermore, we have to be realistic as to what is the window for our Baby Blues to win a Flag. When is that likely? Will Fev be around for that?
If not, we must entertain the value we extract from a trade in 2008, whilst he's at his peak and in demand from other clubs closer than us to winning a Flag.
So, can we win one in 2009 or 2010? I don't know. Anything can happen.
That depends on where we are in comparison to Geelong, Doggies, Lions and Hawks at the time. My guess is The Cats will be playing for 3 in a row and remaining a powerful force till 2011; I believe Hawks are a couple of years ahead of us; and Lions are on par till 2011 (when Brown retires???).

I think if we get pick 1 or 2 for fev I'd be happy. Thats only fair considering we gave up pick 3 and Kennedy for Judd.
Whatever we pay him from now on will be too much. We wont win a premiership in 2 years. Fev'll be 30. Too old. Get a young gun like Natanui.
I don't know if I want to wait to develop an early pick given they may take too much time to develop or turn out average. But if we were to get a quality player between 20 and 23 and an early pick, then I would support that...plus a late pick ala Judd Trade.
Number 1: I don't wont to be held over a barrel by player managers. The player either wants to dearly play for the Blues, or they can go and get [REDACTED] and try their luck elsewhere; Demons, Freo, WCE for all I care.
I'm a Fev fan, but moreso I'm a Carlton fan.
