I agree with you Clanger. As desperate that Carlton is to get rid of him (and they really are.... I have sources), they are not about to give him away. They will find it difficult to find a suitor who:

a: wants Fev

b: has the room in their salary cap

c: can offer Carlton something in return for the trade. My source (very high up at Carlton) who initially told me this would happen at the GF (refer earlier post in demonland normal section) tells me they want two first round picks or equivalent (ie first round draft pick and very good player).

I ask which club can fill all boxes?

I think he will stay a blue.

wats difference between cousins and fev...he's had all his issues but is still killing it..

Glad you asked. Cousins stuffed up repeatedly at West Coast and was banned for a year by the AFL for a series of drug and alcohol related incidents. During that year off, he put his head down, got clean, and worked his arse off to get picked up in the PSD despite most of the football world telling him he didn't have a chance and was wasting his time. I'm not trying to make him out to be a hero; he got himself into that situation afterall, but he deserves credit for fighting his way out of it and getting to where he is now. On the other hand, Fevola has had a series of major alcohol related incidents including sexual harassment and drunken assault (and while this statement goes against the arsed-backward yob culture prevalent in all codes of football, the fact is that sexual harassment and violence are a hell of a lot more serious than recreational drug use- Cousins hurt himself, Fevola has hurt other people). He has been given countless "final chances", and has repeatedly promised to turn things around, only to come out a few months later and make a complete dick of himself and everyone who believed in and supported him.

And even at his absolute worst, Cousins was always a great on-field leader with a legendary work-rate. I wasn't keen on Melbourne picking him up last year, but at least there was a genuine argument that even though he wouldn't be around when we're pushing a flag, Cousins' experience and exemplary work ethic would have fast-tracked the development of our young list and he would have a positive cultural impact outlasting his playing days. Fevola is the exact opposite; at his best he is incredible, at his worst he is an absolute liability, giving away ridiculous free kicks and showing little to no interest in chasing and pressuring. Not only will he not be around when we're pushing for a flag, but he's more likely to inhibit than improve our development. The guy is a culture sore on-field and off, and I'm happy but not surprised we're not giving him the time of day.

I swear people queue up to ring SEN with b/s rumors at this time of the year. I know a guy who used to do it every year.

I should ring 'em up and say that I have it from the highest source that if Fev doesn't get traded then Judd will leave and Gibbs will go home to SA. Might put the cat amongst the pigeons.

And they'll just buy it hook, line and sinker. Especially given that this week is the SEN B-Team. They'll be so desperate for good radio you could tell them anything.

It's ironic that a station who have been playing an ad that says "don't waste time with bogans" for years, allows so many of them on to air their nutbag views.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie
