We don't want Fev because he be more a Hinderence then Help

Nulla, is it enough to make you not want to trade for him (assuming you would be happy to otherwise)?

Yes!!! another Fevola thread! I've been waiting for this moment

The biggest issue I have with Fev, is that he is obviously not very intelligent. This severly lessens the likelihood that he's going to wake up to himself & change his behaviour, both on & off field. Other players, mentioned, Ponting, Didak, Stevie J, all seem to have been able to change. I seriously doubt that Fev can.

I dont think Fev respects Ratten and now apparently Judd.

Can Malthouse and Eddie make him into something like the return to grace of Shaw and Didak? If so it would make for a great success story both for Fev and Collingwood.

I have met and been with Fev a number of times over the years as he is friends with my son inlaw.. sober he is a great person... a few beers and he is an outright clown... thing is he knows it.

For what I know he did on Brownlow night... it has mad some of his friends enemies, so I would hope there would be a clause in his contract.

An alcohol free Fev would be great.

I cannot for the life of me see him staying at Carlton. Judd will walk otherwise

I have heard "NULLA" That the pies players don't want fev

Might be on the money, Dave, stay tuned

Fev and Collingwood would be a great fit for non-Collingwood people. The most hated player at the most hated club.

When does Patrick Smith's contract run out? I think he's after a job. The article was big on panegyric and low on substance. I think he's been spending to much time with his little bald mate KB...

I'll just mention one name here to blow your argument out of the water:
Ben Johnson

To quote WC Feilds: they're intellectual opposites - Ponting/Didak (insert your're own name) are intellectual & Fevola's opposite. (Could've been Mae West). Mind you neither Mae West nor WC Fields could play full-forward.

I'd love to know why people think that Didak is "intellectual" and Fevola is not.

Didak's misdemeanours over the last couple of years were a lot more than just getting pissed, and they were situations that could easily have been avoided or handled much better... lets not be one-eyed about this.

I do think Fevola needs to reap the consequences of what he's done again and again, and I think that Carlton's decision to get rid of him is the right one for their club... but I dont think that should stop another club going after him if the price is right.

T'was merely a throw away line. Not to be taken seriously. Havin' a laugh (at Fevola's expense).

Nulla,

Based on what you know then, would you want him at the Pies and if so, given the obvious risks involved, how much should we give for him?

To me it sounds more and more like anything above a second round draft pick may come back to bite us on the you know where.

Seeing as we seem to be reporting on every comment made about Fevola's possible movements. Here's the gist of what Gerard Whately said on ABC radio:

- Fevola definitely to be gone from Carlton. Blues want him out, no matter what they get in return or how much of his contract they must continue to pay.
- Jolly looks to be going to Collingwood.
- Collingwood out of the running fror Fevola now that they seem to be getting Jolly.
