SUBJECT TO......

>> Meeting certain criteria pre season. A rolling short term contract with behavioral clauses. And a deal on the lower side $ wise but with performance incentive.

>> The KPI side including a non-negotiable forward pressure aspect. Although not sure you can put this in a contract lol. However, If he brings this pressure side as well as a decent bag over the year, i'd be happy subject to the above being built in.

The kids, as some refer to on here, as well as some of the seniors (McKenzie/Trengove/Jones/Moloney/Nicho etc) will also hopefully learn to deliver to and play with a real power forward.

Hopefully in readiness for our next long term one post fev (which could be a matter of weeks away lol)....and a premiership shortly thereafter :)

I just can't believe how many people are willing to vote yes!

Anyone out there wanna buy some magic beans?

I'll give you a sale price of $4K.

Gotta get in quick though...

Not you Fev, stop PMing me and get back to your Internet poker!

Nothin wrong with online Holdem play mate....as long as you have disciplined bankroll management, lots of experience and you avoid sites that allow bots on em. I win in the long haul playing Holdem online. Awesome game at that.

It's the horses/dogs/ and other casino games that kill ya B)

Absolutely NOT,when the ball turns over,he's too lazy to chase.If the ball drops short,he'll berate our young midfielders.

Would rather Jakovich as he is now

Is this seriously possible? :huh: Aged Care list maybe?

Two questions to you all:

1) Was anyone at the game on Sunday?

2) did anyone see our forward line?

If you answered yes to both questions then you would vote yes to Fev.

I did, i did.... and i did

I wasn't totally sure, but now it has been confirmed that at least 41% of Demonland posters need to seek immediate medical help.

I would have anticipated about 666%. At least 2/3 need their Demons exorcised.

If there wasn't a spot on the list for Junior this year then there sure as hell isn't one for Fevola next year.

Bailey and co are either gone or on their way out.

To kick a club champion out of the club is not right. Anyhow, hopefully we will have a new policy from now on.

When he kicks 10 in a game of VFL ( remember VFL) football, then tell him to come knocking.

When he lays a tackle outside 10 metres from his own goal, then we might take notice.

There are 3 other players ahead of him on the 2011 goalkickers table in the VFL. So what makes him special?

Answer: NO.

What could possibly go wrong?

AGREE....rhe worst thing that could happen is he gets the sack..

Absolutely not!

Having said that, he couldn't be any worse than some already on the list from a playing perspective.

What makes him special right now, not living on his past glories back when he was at Carlton..?

By that logic, maybe we should recruit Locket or Dunstall...

I have to confess I wanted us to recruit Cousins for his experience and I thought perhaps his legendary training ability might have rubbed off on the others. In hindsight it was neither a good or bad thing he went to Richmond he probably got a couple of 000 extra members because of the excitement but he didn't help them win too many games and was probably a bit past i when he got there.

Fevola is pretty much the same he is probably past it and he may have a few good games up his sleeve but in reality he would probably struggle, week in and week out, at this level. If you think about it it's been a few years since he left Carlton and in the meantime he's had a bit of a go at Brisbane a period of time off a period where he just about doubled his body weight and his skin folds are probably at bursting level even now.

We have, in the past, made players retire when they are in the state that Fevola is in now, so it would seem rather counter productive to recruit him.

Kicked 11 against Frankston a few weeks back..... and afterwards he was pretty gracious about it on Twitter....

"Thanks guys, great day out at Frankston, great win by the boys,"

Named in the best against Coburg on Sat in losing team. Kicked 7.

Surely you're not suggesting he'd be a better forward than Juice, Bate and Dunn?

Downside is he could have a year like Campbell and we delist him at the end of the year...

No Brainer, get him and lets have a real tilt in 2012.

Wow he kicked ten against Frankston.. who have won two games in two years. Maybe we should take Miller back because he wrecked Gold Coast last year?

Fevola (30 years old) - 623 goals in 204 AFL games - 2 Coleman Medals, 2 All Australians and 7 time Carlton leading goal kicker

Miller (28 years old) - 100 goals in 144 AFL games -

Doh! Yep lets take Miller!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
