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.

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
