Club comes calling after Fev

Wouldn't be us would it? If Clark falls through, perhaps we would bite the bullet and get this big body in our forward line to release pressure from Watts / Jurrah?

 

Obviously not if they are asking those questions about him. We would already know the answers.

I hope it is us, would love to see Fev make amends and bring his best in the red and the blue.

I agree with that, but if we miss out on Clark, this is our best option I think.


Doggies ??

I have a few mates who are Saint's supporters hearing that it could be them.... which is bizarre if true.

Of all the Melb based clubs, the only ones I can see having a role for Fev would be:

Us (If all the options we are going for fall through)

Dogs (If they want to replace Hall and still think they can make a crack for the top 4)

Essendon

Nth Melbourne

Can't think of a fit at any of the other clubs....

A club without a coach shouldn't be making such a big decision as trading for Fev.

It might just be an inquiry, and if it is, it could be anyone. I really doubt it is us.

Not that I am disagreeing with you (About it being us) But if Neeld sees us needing a power forward, and Clark, Lisle, Tommy Walsh etc... all of those fall through, and you had the option of Fev there for base wages, why wouldn't you give it a crack (with behaviour clauses in place...)

In the past it would have been that the he would be taking the spot of a younger player that we could develop, but I sense the perception of some people has changed a little now to wanting to get a strong body up front to take the heat off Watts, and to allow Jurrah to be the 3rd forward option.

Is he the power forward .... or is he just a focal point forward that isn't capable of bringing others into the game around him (I didn't see him play @ Casey so not sure if he is capable of bringing others into the game)

Olarenshaw was surprised as to who it was...? Given the circumstances, MFC would fit that description very, very well. (Edit: As a smokescreen to detract from Clark)

I was against it a few months ago but I'll admit now to be swaying.

I want massive behaviour clauses in the contract if true. Should be forced to submit to a breathalyzer upon request by club officials, as well as having to vet all media interviews with the club first.

Fev and Clark in our forward line! Can't see either actually coming to the Dees, but wouldn't that combination cause some headaches for defenders.

Clark probably wouldn't come if he knew Fev was!

didn't seem to worry defenders when they were at brisbane...


So we're looking for a stop-gap to plug a hole until a more long term prospect is ready.

Fev has transgressed in the past but is adamant about his desire to right those wrongs and atone for his previous misdemeanors (he says)

If his behavior wasn't an issue he would be on a list, probably dominating a forward line currently..

Put him on a strict behavioral based contract with regular toxicity checks, very well defined termination clauses and leave the rest up to the Fev. I would also add into any contract that he is not able to take part in any mad Monday celebrations. I don't care if the players earn the right to have these- Fev has proved time and again he can't be trusted when the players get the opportunity to let the hair down.

We have more to gain from having Fev than we have to lose if we clearly define our expectations of him and fashion a contract to suit that!

"It was surprising which club it was".....mmmmm

That to me screams Carlton!


That to me screams Carlton!

Possibly . they are trying to unload Setanta.. its a curiosity

 

Let's face it - any Melbourne club chasing Fev would be a surprise - it doesn't indicate anything. Name me a Melbourne club that wouldn't surprise - the Dogs would probably be the least surprising.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
