The press will have a field day citing our "culture" and trawl up all the rubbish from our past .. its a PR disaster wating to happen. There will be a whole bunch of gutter journo's on "Fev watch" if he came to us - just waiting for him to have 1 slip - no matter how minor.
Given that the guy is a serial d!ckhead, its inevitable that there will be a slip us somewhere along the line - and you know what - dont think for a second that the journos wont go to print on the slightest sniff of a slip up - not checking any facts, just straight to print. Case in point - look at all the stuff that was printed about Reiwoldt and KD being in the same room for
that photo - and yet he was/is squeeky clean.
Strongly disagree Zed, I think he is worth the punt. Let's learn from past mistakes, if we had had the courage to take Cousins, we'd probably have a premiership now. Imagine Cousins in our midfield in 09, particularly in the GF.
If we're dealing in unsubstantiated rumours then there is some talk that Collingwood is the potential mystery buyer and they're welcome to him. IMO we can't afford the risk of another scandal riddled season in the media spotlight and Fev and his club would be under intense scrutiny from day one... as he was at Brisbane... as Cousins was at Richmond. I'd rather use Tommy 'The Messiah' Walsh to take pressure of the skipper.

that was yesterday. after plough said that they spoke to his manager and he said the list manager they were speaking to needed to speak to the coach. we dont have a coach so they ruled us out.
rumor is melbourne/north melbourne/western bulldogs

That could mean that the 'list manager' needs to speak to the coach - when we get one, as in he can't promise that we'll draft him until the new coach arrives and agrees…
If Walsh ditches us then Fev is a must. To be left with Kosi as the sole FF option would be madness. If Tommy sticks around then we don't have such a great need for him.

Lots of what if's
but really if he comes we got no choice, i want him here he would love to play for us.... but seriously WHAT if he helps us up forward for 2 year's Kosi is incapable of doing it.... we need someone;

Why Fev?
Why not someone less risky like Setanta, if available.
i am Melbourne Skies - sometimes Blue Skies, Grey Skies, even Partly Cloudy Skies.

Because Fev can play. Same reason we should have got Cousins instead of Begley.
LOL Fevola's mate are on talking up this drunkard retard.
clearly they don't care about sponsors. Any sponsor associated with st kilda will think twice about fronting up cash if this moronic lout is at our club.
Let him wallow in the regionals before the people he owes money to go russian on him, and we all have a laugh.

Sorry Dan, we can't organise a piss up in a brewery when it comes to sponsors. If we can at least be poor premiership winners it will make life a little more fun. We are as popular as the canterbury bulldogs already. I like the villain status I'm embracing the bad guything.

yeah with fevola's premiership experience and his ability to play under pressure without having a sook, and having been 'pushed' from his VFL side he's certain to take us to a flag.

On the upside, I'll hear no more whining about picking up hacks?
I'm not totally against your arguement, but how many of our best 22 last year were ever rookies?
Dawson for one.
I'm agreeing with you.
Holder of unacceptable views and other thought crimes.
I love St Kilda because of C Ditterich, G Sidebottom, R Muir , V perovic, T Lockett, B Hall, A Hamill, Spider Everritt, S Baker,F Gehrig We need this ratbag in our side give him number 10 jumper and let him loose
Dan, could you please do me favour and cease with the defamatory remarks regarding Fevola. Your posts in this regard lower the tone and quality of the site. I also respectfully suggest that they expose you to legal action.
