Richo aint a brain surgeon, you are right. What he is, is a mature, well spoken & respected footballer who the when appearing on national television doesn't have his club & their supporters cringing.
Maybe Richo could have a word when Fev arrives at Punt Rd & advise him where he got his public speaking lessons & promptly arrange a few sessions for our good friend.
TT my good friend you know i know what you mean..
Maybe you'll embrace Fev IF he arrives at Punt Road... Do you want him and what would you give up .... In all seriousness .... IF being the big thing ???
Look, Fevola is often maligned by alot of supporters, his own & opposition. Similar to Richo (more so in the past). The reason is every one knows that these guys are real talents. What they produce at there best comes to be expected all the time, which is not totally realistic.
Fev has had a few tantrums this year, which I personally thought were overplayed by the media, but with the current media & the way things are portrayed is not great for a club with sponsors & fickle supporters. All in all, the guy is talented.
What I be prepared to trade for Fev? I don't know. Is he leaving cos he is not wanted, is it because he see a better future outside of CFC. Does he want to play at the RFC or does he just want to leave CFC.
Well hard to say, I think it would depend on how much Carlton would be willing to subsidise his contract. If they were willing to pay 50% then a first round pick would be the go, but RFC would only trade that if they could acquire a second first round pick via trades. It is not a straight forward trade when there is a huge 3 year contract involved.
Fair point although i don't agree with the 50% you have included. The deal that you guys got last year with Ottens would be more to my liking if indeed anything does happen. Though IMO unlikely. If we are talking first rounder then yes but one first round draft pick no matter what number it is might not be enough ?? A First round pick and a sweetener might get the done. The sweetener that you pay his full contract so we are free of him altogether, or a young lad like Pattison ... Then maybe i would would be accepting of a trade.
So for me:
Fev - Richmond - Carlton Pays portion of Contract- Not 50%- 20% Tops
Richmond - First Rounder Carlton plus Pattison
Result Richmond Fev at a discounted rate Great value for Money
No Pattison save more money..
Carlton - Ist Ronder Plus Pattison plus excess dollars to cover Fevs discounted contract at Richmond.
I don't know i just think lets keep Fev and if we are going to trade him lets do it next year, in a deeper draft... Who know mate who knows ??
