I reckon Fevs a great guy, down to earth and 'real'..... unlike some of the plastic fantastics....but just not what we need.
Couple of things:
1. do we need another lead up fwd or a fwd who can stand his ground and take contested grabs? aka Cloke mould? Clearly Riewoldts one of the best lead up fwds there are.....the games changed, space is gone and Im not sure Fev would fare much better.
2. Fwd pressure - super important...Fev chooses which week he wants to do this and really you cant carry guys in this area.
3. Power Fwds...ah.....the old St Kilda "we love power fwds" syndrome....but at what costs???? - weve never had a midfield thats HAD to score consistently. Its time. Id rather us draft a quick, good by foot mature aged 25yr old VFL mid who can come in immediately, add depth and kick.
sadly no...

Yes, thats EXACTLY why! Yup.

Take some pressure off Roo & Milney to carry the goal scoring load. Either he gets the best full back and Rooey gets a breather, or vice versa.
Put him on a performance based contract with strict conditions. I doubt he'll cost anything.
kick it to me, kick it to me, kick it to me, well fcuks you all I'm going to have a dummy spit...oh and heres me on the pine again.
GO SAINTA!

Just because we pick the bloke up doesn't mean we have to play him if he isn't putting the effort in.
I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.

Realistically, someone who is famously known to suffer from a gambling addiction probably isn't in a great position to be demanding big bucks…PJ wrote:If you believe recent media articles Fev may be looking for the highest offer.Cro wrote:Ross has kicked the lazy out of players before.Teflon wrote: 2.

He'll be lucky if he gets rookied I reckon.
While the proposition of adding a coleman medalist for nothing is tempting, I just can't stand his attitude, the off field stuff doesn't worry me too much, but someone sooking, dropping their head and abusing team mates is just not on, brings down the whole team IMO.
I'd rather we started looking towards youth, I don't think Fev is the bridge to a premiership so I think it would be a waste. If we did win a flag with Fev, I'll be happy to eat my words of course!

Anyone complaining he has no negative skills might need to speak to Stevie Bakes... Sandy v Casey proved he has improved a lot in this area.
Abusing team mates? You mean the way BJ does?
Our current crop of players will be with us next year, Hayes/Gwilt back, we were good enough to make the finals despite everything going against us. We won't rebuild.
We have a deficiency in the forwardline and Roo needs help, as RL said at the halfway point of the year. He said we'll have to try to get a big name player, I can't see Butcher, Dawes or Clark coming to us - if we can get them for sure, but more likely to get Fev.
My only concern with getting Fev is Kosi is almost certain to be cleaned up at some stage by Fev crashing a pack.
