Would be nice, but I just can't see Ratten trading him, Fev is Ratten's only chance of success in his 1st term as coach.
Don't see it happening - and a quality midfielder means Cooney, Cross or Boyd.

Decent midfielder, could be Ray or even Jordy.
I dont see it happening though either. Nor do i want him after his antics last night on TFS.
I would rather keep our first rounder. If we could get Fev +2nd rounder for our 1st and a decent player i would be satisfied with that.

Fev is a gun, but I too am leaning towards drafting our own (eg. Henderson). It's not as though we're one key forward off a flag. We've got plenty of holes, so to me, our best option would be to draft a young KPF and develop him, along with drafting a couple inside mids & ruck.
Short term fixes rarely work, as we all know.
As much as I like Fevola he is not worth a decent player + the no.5?? draft pick.
If we are talking decent player as in Boyd or Cross I would be looking for a straight swap.
If we are talking as in Ray or Gia I would be willing in give them a 2nd rd pick as well.

Nah. A key forward, definately. But not one of his type. He isn't a forward line leader, he isn't a bloke you can rely on in a crunch and he is an asshatt.
Throw the same money at Charman, get McMahon to Adelaide for McGregor and a pick in the 40's as a workhorse CHF and see what pick 5 or 6 is likely to throw up in terms of big blokes.

I hope you're right, and agree particularly about not being reliable etc.
I'd like to see us use our first round pick on a tall forward...but can see us really throwing everything at Fev (I'm hoping that he is sincere in saying that he is totally committed to Carlton).
Surely we have learnt the lessons of the past. No trade for our first round pick. And certainly not for an ageing player....and one who is capable of hanging his head. No, no and no! Can we just concentrate on getting quality leaders into the club (just look at their character) and getting quality leadership from within the individuals we already have.

Don't see the need. We have way more holes than just FF. We need time to build up at our other deficiencies and by then Fev may be on the downhill.
Rebuilding is just that, rebuilding. Not importing.

Disagree we need a rebuild just some list adjusting. Wouldn't be throwing the baby out with bathwater. Haven't liked what I've seen since we lost to Carlton but really Cross and West are both carrying injury. Griffen out. Our list isn't deep enough to compensate. We need better grunt midfield depth, and the ruck and KPP forward holes plugged.
The ruck hole may be harder to plug than the KPP fwd post (hope pinned on Everitt for this...)
Fev could plug a hole (but I doubt he's available) but not sure if worth the price. His lack of leadership in a low leadership young team would be a worry.

a lot. We could have played another youngster (or Robbins) instead of him. We could have got another good youngster (possibly a forward) with the pick, and saved some money on his contract.

It's all academic anyway.
Fevola wouldn't want to play for the Bulldogs. We are nowhere near cool enough for a show-pony such as he.
And I, for one, am glad of it.
Can't let it happen. Don't want Fev.
Wouldn't we be better off - trading a 'decent mid' to a club with too many inside mids and getting a decent inside mid - and then using the 1st rounder to help get a ruck or KPP forward?
Fev isn't the solution and while I think if we had him we'd definitely make the finals next year - we won't win the flag until the other gaps are plugged.
lets be realistic, despite what you think of the guys personality, any team would bend over to get him to their club - the brains trust would be deficient not to have a decent crack at him. he is one of the 5 or 6 genuine quality tall forwards in the compeition at the moment.
and if he kicked 70 or 90 goals for us next year (which is quite within his capability to do) , youd be singing his praises.
for me its just a question of 'if the price is right'
If the Dogs were one star FF away from a flag then fine but this year's efforts have highlighted that the team has more than one structural problem.
I hope going after Fev is not a knee jerk reaction.

Throw in Cooney, Griffen and Higgins to that list.

Go for it Dogs. Give them the pick and Gia. Trade Jordy for Damon White and I would be happy. A CHF and FF. We would win the flag. Down back we are covered with Everitt, Harris, Williams, White, Hargrave and Morris. We would just need Will to lift his game in the guts and Higgins, Griff and Cooney to step up as genuine midfield stars. I can see it.

Sorry, can't see it. We are a long way off the flag. I hope that Rocket and co. actually have the bollocks to lay the foundations for a sustained period of success. Sacrifice the short-term fix now and get the best young talent available with our draft picks. Most of us have waited so long for success, another 3 years ain't going to matter if it means a genuine - as opposed to a half-arsed - tilt at the flag.

Following this it seems the down years under Rhode were wasted. I thought that we had already had the down years to build a side. We may as well clear the whole side out and start again then. Why wait 3 years.
Can someone please tell me how on earth Fev can be called a 'quick fix'?
He's only 26 years old, won the Coleman last year in the team that won the wooden spoon. He's nothing like Rawlings and we'd be mad to pass on him if we got a good trade; but I don't see it happening.

I think it is natural for a struggling club to find optimism in both it's younger players and the draft system itself. It's comforting to think that, under this mechanism, success is cyclical. We hear it all the time in the media, almost as if it is a fete accompli.
Yes, I think that we all thought that the bottoming out of the Rohde era would lead to a period of success - circa about now. I can recall many old BF threads in which 07-08 were being touted as THE years. Like , say, the Richmond and Carlton supporters of today, we traded on potential, on projected outcomes. We are now faced with the pain of actual outcomes. The core of that younger generation of the late-Wallace and Rohde eras has stagnated in critical areas - leadership, body size, team discipline - remarkably, even aerobic fitness if this year is any indication. I think that we are at the stage with this group where we seriously need to question whether we are going to get any better than we have been getting. In my opinion, to answer 'yes' to that question is more than just optimism - it is an uncritical, rose-coloured, mother of best case scenarios!
I'm actually a whole lot more excited about the talent we have introduced to the club since Rocket's arrival - Griffin, Williams, Everitt, Higgins, et al. These are players that I think we can seriously and confidently invest in. For mine, our most realistic strategy is to continue to recruit shrewdly through the draft, swallow the bitter pill of shattered dreams for another 2-3 seasons, and have a real chance of winning the flag when some of our guns are maturing into their mid twenties.
And yes, this is just more of the same trading on potential. But what do other posters think? Are we right to feel more optimistic about the upside of our current young guns than we were during the dark days of 5-6 years ago?
we need someone to straighten the team up, whether we are finals contenders or not.
If (and this is a big if) eade can get the midfields heads screwed on properly and playing like they should, it will go a long way towards solving our problems.
With williams and everitt coming on, we are about 2 good keypos from having a decent side across the board. (again, theoretically on paper)

Good post, and I tend to agree. I don't want us to trade away picks, not first round picks, ever. I think we still have a list capable of making finals next year as it is - and it will continue to get better with some good selections on draft day. If one of our players want to leave, we should try and secure a player to fill a short term need, but not have to throw away a draft pick as well. Ie. Hudson + 2nd Round for McMahon if McMahon wants to go back to Adelaide.
I'm more confident about our new breed of young guns, and I think in a few years we'll really be seeing the benefits of selections like Everitt, Harbrow, Stack, Hill, Lynch, Higgins, Addison, Tiller, O'Shea etc, who'll really compliment our other younger players. If we can pick up a few more 'ready made' players this year on draft day who can impact in their first year, we could have a real crack as early as next year, and for a while from then as others mature.
Our drafting over the past few years has been very pleasing, and I hope it continues along the same way. Please keep our first round pick!

How is any of this going to improve our impotent ruck division? What if Will and Street happen to get injured? We don't even have an 18yo 80kg 200cm beanpole on our list to throw to the wolves.
WE DESPERATELY NEED RUCK DEPTH

If Will and Street are both injured then Wight and Skipper will ruck....it wouldn't be the end of the world considering we don't really have any stand out number one ruckman anyway.

Good point. I'd be happy with a no 1 ruckman and have both Skipper and Wight as rotating back-ups - either can play forward, although Skip is far more likely to actually take a contested mark. Last year we had the 190cm K-Mac as 2nd ruck in a game!
We could get by with a Morgan-type workhorse in the forward line if our midfield sort their problems out. Skip could fill the role, and with perhaps a McGregor picked up in a trade, Tiller as a leading tall and Hill to play above his height (seriously, the kid could almost pole vault without the pole) we could have some semblance of a working forward line - and keep our no 1 draft pick. Giving up a quality mid + no 1 draft pick, I don't think 4 yrs of Fev + 2 years of "older Fev" would be worth it. I'd rather pick up Whitnall in the PSD for nothing.
If Will and Street are both injured then Wight and Skipper will ruck....it wouldn't be the end of the world considering we don't really have any stand out number one ruckman anyway.
I don't buy this Grant Thomas-like sentiment. Teams like Hawthorn and North have 6 ruckmen on their list - Hawthorn even after trading away Everitt. The competition for places will ensure that those selected strive to their utmost limits - guys like Street and Minson are guaranteed AFL games because ther is absolutely no pressure whatsoever on their places. It's a very poor situation for our list to be in, and it needs to be addressed IMO.
How about Jordy to the Crows for Mattener and a 3rd rounder?
We could do with a decent wingman.

Before I get shot down for this, I could see it being Boyd as the one that may be traded. While yes, yes & yes he keeps improving and he may win the B & F, he will start commanding a larger salary. There is one thing boyd does not possess which we need from a competitive midfield unit. Acceleration, his disposal does let him down sometimes also.

Agree totally. The guy is one of the biggest sooks and tools to have ever played AFL that I can remember. Without going into each scenario think of all the times he stuffed up this year on and off the ground, and that's only this year. He'll never learn and he'll be 27 before the next season has started. I would go so far as to say he could be a cancer at our club which we would regret years down the track. I cringe when I see him each time on the footy show now and he plays for Carlton, God if he played with us....I'd hate to imagine. If we are going to trade at least get a quality type of individual too. Fev is not one.

We need to keep drafting the young talent.
As much as we have sucked over the past 2 months, the young talent that we have picked up over the past few years in the first couple of rounds in the draft are all playing seniors, I think Tim Walsh was the last one, who hasnt come good.
Hansen just benefits from the side he's in - he's an average player. Doesn't kick enough goals, gets too many of his touches up the ground and is the last type of CHF we need.

Round 13 or 14, 2007. I dunno, thats just so negative to say your teams so shit i knew we weren't going to be playing finals 2 years ago. I don't care how much he was joking, the point is its very, very negative. I'm not normally one to jump on stuff like this either.
Also interesting, on the 'Before the game' a few weeks ago, Fev did a surprise drop in for a sick fan. He brought over a new computer and stuff for her. Fitzy said to Fev 'You gotta new job at Harvey Norman Fev?' Fev's reply 'yea, i'm out of a job at the moment ahah'. Do you think he let that one slip? Has he had meetings with officials down at the club already?. This thread suggests so.

I think that you are wrong - Fev actually is stupid based on that comment about his club - it was disrespectful, immature and shows a lot about his character and what he brings to a club. I would've expected him to say something a little more supportive and constructive - chase him at your peril.

I don't think trying for the old quick fix method would do us much good, there is one thing to have a power forward but another to actually get it in the forward line with penetration. Over the last 2 months we haven't even been able to get it in the forwrad 50 with any sort of presence, Fevola or not.
I'd rather use the draft to as best we can, and instead of looking fro the quick fix which with Fevola I don't think would fix us anyway since the rest of our team is playing so poorly.
Happy to get fev if we can trade McMahon and Gia for him - but not A graders or the first round pick.
In other words - I don't think Fev is worth chasing.

Don't see it happening - and a quality midfielder means Cooney, Cross or Boyd.
Gia could be the one.....

Lance Whitnall in the PSD for the Dogs.
Showed last night that he can still provide as a forward target.

Confirming the rumour of Fev to dogs for 1st pick + decent midfielder is more then just a rumour but genuine interest.
Source: Son (good friend of mine) of a Carlton board member. prefer not to name but trust me on this one. Initials of PL, just so you know im not lying.
