Sinclair should be cut some slack when he was 1st picked this year it took him a while to get used to the pace of things but after 6 or 7 games he was not too bad and his disposal by hand and foot improved markedly.Since injuring his ankle he has missed quite a few games and has struggled but we should persevere with him because he has some pace which we need he will not be going anywhere.
 
Its hard to ignore the Fev to Collingwood thing after hearing more and more evidence. Suckling could just be on to something......

"UPDATE 19/9/12: WE’VE heard from a good source that there’s more substance to the rumour of Brendan Fevola being looked at by both Collingwood and Port Adelaide.
Port Adelaide is understood to have flagged interest in Fevola over the past three days and is likely to meet with Fevola before the upcoming draft.
Fevola has been training to keep his fitness at an elite level despite playing local footy this season.
It was initially rumoured that Fevola may well be of interest as a mature age rookie for the Pies and was understood to just be a supporters’ fantasy but this has apparently grown legs this week."



It does say down the bottom this may well just be a supporters fantasy... but who knows. Though i did hear that inverview with Mark Fine and Fev... makes for interesting reading at least.
Read the back page of today's Age in the sport section.

Fevola hasn't been training all year, because he can't. He has a PCL, Medial and cracked Tibia
We now have it from his own mouth in two separate interviews. Mark Fine and now the Age
He is shot
 
We are in the box seat with Cloke. It's not all his way. Firstly, there has to be a legitimate offer from a rival club tabled. I don't think many clubs can seriously offer the amounts being bandied about. It would have to be a club HE wants to go to as well. Then we only have to match the offer that falls in the salary cap which I think we have an obligation to do. It's damn hard to get a decent KPF. If that club is Carlscum, I don't think Eddie would let it happen.

For all you seriously deficient football followers out there. Sinclair and Elliot should never have played this year. They were thrown to the wolves because of injury. Give the kids a break please. Trade them? LOL

We offered Wellingham for trade two years ago. No one wanted him. He adds depth to our midfield.

I think one of the problems we have judging this years playing group is many played different roles or out of position due to injuries to others. Wellingham was one of these players.

My rumour: I have heard Trdaedraft is moving to the Carlton board, possibly as a mod.

No. Power were not interested in him when he could play..... Why would they be interested in him now?

Exactly. He got better and better as time went on. Got injured and has struggled since. Some people should pull there head in on this board.

That story completely shoots itself down when it says fev is maintaining elite fitness, the bloke is as fat as Clive Palmer and has been out of the game for 2yrs, Port don't have a coach so there's no way they would have decided to talk to him without knowing what the new coach wants to do with the list. Fantasy

Its worse than that.
Fev says he hasn't trained all year, the only reason he went to training was to drive a few of the other boys there.
He goes on to say, he couldn't even chase his man, so the team made another guy stand near him to chase the full back if he took off.

All from the mouth of Fev.

So the question has to be asked about all those "I know a bloke who told me Fev is training with Collingwood. Its a fact" threads.
I've said it before as soon as anyone says "I know a fact" you can, within a 99.99% certainty call, bullshit

That's because he lives in Melbourne why would he go driving 4 hours there and 4 hours back 3 times a week.

Yep, what would Fev know about the way Fev trains.

Next, I'm expecting you to say Fev is saying all this to throw people off what he is really doing: Training at the Westpac Centre.
Give it up and just say you made it up about Fev, and we can all move on.

* I might trade mark my 99.99% rule

So you expect him to travel 24 hours a week to and from Yarrawonga.

I didn't make it up and I don't give a **** what you thing, I have a very good source who is in the fitness staff at the club, unless you have a source at the club that says other wise you should just stfu because you don't know crap.

I'd suggest you do, you keep arguing about it.

I do but I have never once said Fevola will be at Collingwood next year. All I have said is the club is interested in him that can change but at the moment we are looking to draft him as a rookie that is all.

Fevs injury and comments are all a smokescreen! The guys who killed jfk have been training him and his training partner ie Elvis.

You only have to look at vision from the legends game to see he has not been doing much.
 
When is trade week?
When is the draft (aka get fev week)?
Free Agency starts 1st October to 18th I think and trade weeks is from the 8th to late October. The whole month will be about trades and free Agency. The National draft is usually in the last Thursday in November and the Rookie draft is mid December.
 
I'd be very happy if we kept Cloke and brought in Fev. The reason why Dawes wasn't dropped earlier this season is because there was no direct replacement for him. Sure Fev won't be the same player he was 3 or 4 years ago, but if he could get his body right, why not give him a spot on the rookie list? I think fev could still kick 40 or so goals for us in a season. Plus it'd take some pressure off Cloke. Bring Fev along with Martin and Caddy and I'll be one happy man. Hopin our team looks something like this next season.

Toovey - Brown - O'Brien
Johnson - Reid - Shaw
Caddy - Pendlebury - Thomas
Fasolo - Cloke - Didak
Krakouer - Fevola - Sidebottom
Jolly - Beams - Swan

Martin-Goldsack-Ball-Blair
EMERGENCIES: Dawes-Keefe-Elliot

Obviously to get Caddy I think we'd have to give up our first pick and maybe a swap of late picks. To get Martin we'll have to give up Wellingham somehow perhaps a 3-way deal. I'd be very happy if we could have a team like this next season.

Leon Davis was on the verge of being traded or sacked after the 2010 GF. Why not do the same with Wellingham and turn him in to a back pocket instead of trading him? Has the pace and mung to shut down the small forward which we failed to do against Carlton Hawthorn and Sydney. (Betts Rioli Jetta.)

His foot skills out of the back line would terrify me every time.
