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)

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

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 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.

Answer: NO.

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.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
