I would say it would be Melbourne cos they are trying to get Mitch Clarke.if that fails they may try and get Fev as a last resort.

North could also be calling very much doubt it is us!

The key word used was surprising

It being Melbourne or north is hardly surprising they are screaming for a full forward
 
Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev

If Fev comes to us he'll b treated like any other rookie and will play only if Dawes or cloke are injured.
If he came to collingwood it'd b discipline first, football later. Bucks is a perfectionist and it would b made very clear that it's a 'one strike, you're out' situation to Fev.

Unlikely that we'll get him, but if we did I don't think it's extremely bad.
Fev knows this is his last chance, so it's sink or swim this time. If he stuffs up - even in a tiny way - he's gone.
Sometimes people who get a lifeline on their "last chance" can do great things for the club, because they're playing for people's respect and to prove to the club that they deserve to be there.

I'm not ruling out that he could come to us and be kicked out before the 2012 season, but if hes a rookie there is only so much damage he could do to our rep.

How about another premiership???:p

How about the cost to development of promising young players we are building a future for?

How about the effect on their club ethic when they see a guy who has given the finger to everyone who has ever tried to help him waltz into the club and take a position from those that have slaved their guts out for it?

How about the effect on our corporate partners when - NOT IF - he screws up again?

How about the negative impact in the press when he screws up again?

How about the negative impact on families of prospective recruits when they see the club give preferential treatment to a childman?

Fev is a poison that can eat the heart out of any club, not in himself but in the attitudes and perceptions he brings with him.
 
Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev

Honestly, which Melbourne-based club would be the most surprising? Would it not be the very club that gave him the boot?

Besides, it wouldn't be us. Why would we sign Dawesome to a two year contract if we were chasing another big forward? It makes no sense.

The surprise factor relates to the fact that any club is looking to nab him.

More shock than surprise.

Well, if its true someone is looking to rookie list him that should narrow the field.

You wouldnt get Fev at all unless you were able to play him in the seniors if his form and attitude warranted. No point leaving him on the rokie list to devlop. SO it probably means whoever is after him has less than two veterans listers and therefore could raise a rookie to the seniors at any time.

would love for it to happen. Wont cost us much in salary cap, will play for the minimum and will slot in nicely in the goal square.

Bucks wouldnt cop any BS so he would know this is a 1 off opportunity.

Yeah, play him out of the goal square. He will have to draw a good defender. Frees up Dawes to push up the ground, and take some big grabs.
 
Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev

Everyone relax! It is not us. Olaranshaw said "It was a list manager that called. Not a coach!" Stkilda do not have a coach and the only people at Stkilda who have been involved in trade week have been Pelchan and Bains and they are both list managers. My tip is it is Stkilda!

Unless they can offload some of their baggage, it wont be them. No cap space and culture at ground zero presently.

If by some miracle it is them, them expect some bargain prices on Ray, Gilbert or Dawson.

Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev

Relax: It was the Italian Club, on Sydney Rd in Brunswick. There 'interest' was that Fev settle up his bar tab and fix up those unpaid betting chits!
 
Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev

It would be surprising for any bottom feeding Melbourne team to call because he's only got a year or two in him you'd think.

Of the teams in contention for a flag it would be a surprise if Carlton enquired for obvious reasons, if Saints called for cap and culture reasons, if Hawks called because they already have 2 big forwards and just recruited Gunstan, if Cats called because they have J-Pod, Nappy pants and a bunch of geriatrics already and if Pies called because Buckley would burn holes thru him with his eyeballs.
 
Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev

omg!! Fev would be perfect for us!!

I can just see the fantastic training over the break. Heaps of pics of Fev in Arizona bonding with the boys!!! Hopefully no stories about sidetrips to Vegas to get stoned and pissed.... but Fev wouldnt be that stupid...

And then the season...Fev kicking a few....breaking down in a few games. Copping it from the bigfooty masses. Bucks copping more pressure.

Fev finding it increasingly more difficult to get fit for games...Rumours of partys at Crown. A few bets here and there. Found in a back lane behind Crown with his jocks in his mouth... Bucks saying he deserves another chance...

Team trying to focus on getting a spot in the eight. Players getting interviewed daily on the latest Fev exploit. Rumours of Alan Didak at a party.

Pendles announces that he is going to leave contract negotiations to the end of the season. Rumours that GWS has snared their man. Fev gets a "comeback" game against Carlton and gets reported for swinging punches at the Carlton defenders and they take up their positions to start the game. Pie players look the other way...

Bucks makes statement that Fev won't play again until he's 100% fit. Leigh Matthews questions Bucks decision to recruit Fev. Every man and his dog are posting on bigfooty saying that they told the world that Bucks would never be a good coach and pleading with Eddie to pay Mick to return to the club.

Oh yes pleassssssssse!!!...Please recruit Fev. He will be fantastic for the club!!!!!!!!!!

Bains is a massive massive carlton fan so he would love fev.

Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev

I'd love for Fev to come back. I think our culture is stronger than Fev's inner demons and we can allow him the opportunity to really reinvigorate his AFL career and become a better man for it.

I'd look forward to it in 2 years time, at Copeland night, when he's up and making a speech and mentions Collingwood the same way Luke Ball did this year.
 
Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev

He's a brilliant forward, there's no two ways about it. But cannot see Bucks countenancing this in a million years.
 
Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev

I recon its Collingwood. Walshy contacted Ricky and asked about Fev....I recon. Geelong, don't think so. Carlton, definitely not. Hawks, Buddy and Roughy. No other real, serious contenders for next year. Gotta be Collingwood.
