I've got to admit to not having really looked at it, but I wouldn't have thought they'd have too many salary cap concerns? With their recent and upcoming departures (Bradshaw, Rischi, Brennan etc), and considering that their higher paid players in Black, Brown, Power could not be far off either retirement or the veterans list, I wouldn't think they're going to have alot of trouble paying people in the foreseeable future? Again, I could be way off on this, as I'm only taking an educated guess since Brisbanes contract situations obviously isn't a topic I'm well-versed on.

Fev is on a grossly back-ended contract.

Brown would be on a truckload of cash.

Black and Power, I imagine, would be looking for a big payday long promised to them after taking below market contracts earlier in their careers when Voss and Leppitch had huge back-ended deals at the end of their careers a few years ago.

I've read that Voss had $900K included in the cap the year after he retired.

Leppa something similar.

I think Sherman overrated his earning power.

Drummond likewise, seeing as he is so injury-prone.

Brennan would have been offered more than he's worth by other clubs.

It'll be interesting to watch the club disintegrate & see how they recover.

Why have Fevola when we have Jurrah

/end

fev is a stay at home forward...we need one...

no to fev...brisbane thought he'd help them win them a flag...now they are losing half there players.

Have they arrived yet?

"Who is that knocking on my door, go away don't come round here no more,

Here I sit with my childhood friends, here come those feelings again.

Who can it be now" Men at Work - Who Can It Be Now.

They have arrived.

Before you all howl me down and seek to get me committed consider this idea. It appears that the Lions are prepared to pay Fev out a certain amount of his package and release him even if nothing comes of the latest allegation. If they were to pay him say $1.5M instead of $1.9M and did it with say $500K this year and $1M next year they would save $450K this year and with about $350K saved on Rischitelli they could pay all their other players and keep them.

Here goes the crazy part, the Dees then take him and pay him $200K a year which makes up his original package with the Lions for the next two years, with a strict get out clause and contract cancellation if he misbehaves at all in the next two years. Oh and by the way we would give the Lions our last pick in the draft for the trade.

What do Demonlanders think. I am waiting for the men in white coats with the straight jackets to arrive.

Only if Lindsay Lohan isnt available.

Matthew Newton might want to come to us too, but he would probably end up playing with his brother at Casey.

How many chances does a guy need?

Sorry demonlanders, but Fev just doesn't get it and pulling on a red and blue jumper isn't going to change anything.

Great full forward, but the cons outweigh the pros by a country mile.

Cultural cancer. PR nightmare for our club. He doesn't at all fit the image we have cultivated for the MFC.

Even moreso, his body is giving up on him and we don't really need him.

Sorry redleg, but you have me worried.

... maybe Carlton could use him though?

Right on the money. His move to Brisbane can only be described as plague, I've never seen one player being traded to a club do so much damage. At bargain basement price or even for free, he isn't worth the risk.

Matthew Newton might want to come to us too, but he would probably end up playing with his brother at Casey.

He might be a good mark above his head, he can get high over the packs. B)

And his defensive efforts aren't going to get better as he ages.

Only as a rookie, but then again, I wouldn't take the risk with such a young list with barely any mature leaders.

I have always thought the football gods would never let this guy have success.

Carlton get good, they get rid of Fev. Fev arrives at Brisbane as the empire crumbles.

Steer clear.

It's not easy reaching the keyboard in my straightjacket. Anyway it was a good discussion point for a few days while we wait for trade week.

On refelection I believe I get where your coming from Redleg, in that we need a power forward BIG TIME. HOWEVER this bloke is POISON. Look what has happened to the Lions.

Though the real problem seems to be the size of his contract with the Lions. That would not be the problem under my scenario.

It also gets my support for common sense.
