Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev
Melbourne seem like the obvious candidate to me. They've made no secret about their desire to grab an established KPF to take the heat off a few younger blokes.
That said, I'm seriously hoping it is us. We've got a great system in place, I'd have the utmost faith in the club ensuring he stayed in line. I don't think we've got a lot to lose either. People pot Collingwood constantly, regardless of what we actually do. If he falls off the wagon, meh, we cut him and it's water off the duck's back. It's not like we are in a fragile state at the moment or anything,the club is the strongest and most united it has been in a long while. A Fevola controversy wouldn't come anywhere near derailing us.
And people over exaggerate the 'influence on the youngsters' thing. Like I said, we've got a great system in place, strong leaders and top notch coaching staff. Fevola would get pulled into line pretty quickly. Plus, I think he genuinely wants to make amends, I'm confident he is/could be back on the right track.
Watching Dawes flail about on GF day makes me want this all the more. I admire his loyalty and selflessness, but he can't cut the mustard against decent opposition. Getting the 3rd best defender each week would be a god send for him.

Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev
We did go after him before he ended up in Brisbane.
We didn't get him because Carlton was asking too much from us and in general did not want to deal with us. thank God !
This time the cost is next to nothing.
Doubt we would be going for him, but you never know.
Yes, he is a tool.
Yes, he can also play football and was one of the most dangerous forwards in the game.
Worth a punt from some club.
I reckon he would be best suited at Bulldogs because they need a power forward but I think they also have said "NO".

Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev
One club has contacted his management, and even then it was only a list management employee, not even a coach or a head of recruitment.
And even Olarenshaw said the "list manager said he'd take that information to the coach" (or words to that effect), well I'll give you two guesses to figure out what the coach said when the list manager bought up Fev's name.
Same here, I'll be shocked if he is picked up.

Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev
Bang on the money, 110%, couldn't be more accurate with a dart.
I agree with every word you have said, lets just hope the club does too. I don't want to be copping Fev gags from every brain dead moron at every pub between March and September.

Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev
Its hard to imagine what Maguire would have in common with Fevola as to their friendship.
I think Eddie gets man crushes on blokes who can play the game.
Fevola going to Collingwood would have him playing reserves unless Cloke or Dawes went down. Being an insurance policy wouldnt be too appealing.
Its interesting though the divide amongst all club supporters as to getting him.

Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev
I tend to agree with this.
I also think there is a good chance his manager made it up to create interest.

Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev
I read markfs' post and think yep, agree 100%
Jesus Baulks posts something 100% the opposite, I read it and think yep, agree 100%
Interesting dilemma.
Today, I found a small part of me just wondering, perhaps hoping, it may be us, that enquired about him ( leaving Dawes to take the Leroy role)
Part of me thinks he wouldn't **** up again, but the other part of me knows he's a gambling and alcohol addict, and addicts always **** up.
I think the overriding thing though, as markfs alludes to, is that he'd always be in the limelight and it would become a terrible overall distraction.
Also, given it would be such a risk, and if it did **** up, it would be such an obvious mistake in everyone's wonderfully accurate hindsight, that Buck's as a novice coach really wouldn't want that on his first season CV.

Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev
Much as his personality terriifies me, the idea of Fev at FF, Cloke at CHF and Dawes as Leroy is amazing.
NO ONE could stop them

Eddie would have close to zero in making decisions on the list management. If we do pick up Fev, it wouldn't be due to Eddie

Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev
I just went through the media on this. Ricky Olarenshaw said a club called him to ask a few questions about Fev and it was a club he didn't expect being based in Melbourne. That's it. One list manager asked how he was going. Then Fev said he'd go on a base salary to get drafted again.
I'd say he has no chance of being drafted.

Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev
Considering that they've already sent Sam Reid to the Giants, and they're working on trading Josh Hill to West Coast, there's certainly someone in charge of their list right now.
Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev
looked so fat and slow in his last year at Brisbane, i remember a game were he didn't chase his opponent being highlighted. fat, slow and old.
He tore up the vfl...so what! even John McCarthy does that

Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev
fev to pie land will make me a happy chappy! LOL
Just imagine Fev at FF kicking a bag against the blues, then kicking one from the boundary in the last quarter to put us up by even more then looking at the crowd and doing one of his little celebrations! Oh god! Words can not describe how much i want him at pies! If anyone can turn him it'll be bucks!!!!

Just tweeted
Team that plays mostly on the G and in contention for a flag? hmm
HS in their tweets have said that North and StKilda have told them they are NOT interested.

Re: Club Comes Calling After Fev
It's a huge risk and we'd potentially have a lot to lose ... read markfs' post a page or so back for a snapshot
Reckon 5% chance of a really successful outcome
20% chance of dreadful outcome
80% chance of meh outcome ( ie he plays reserves, keeps his nose reasonably clean, doesn't reach any great heights at all)
