Sammy Hamill was a fantastic player for us whose career was tragically cut short by serious injury.
He was a beacon to our young list in terms of mental adn physical toughness.
And why was he a mercenary?
My understanding is he was offered more to play with Sydney than what we offered.
Carlton also offered to pay him what he wanted but because of Salary Cap problems could only show about 40% of his salary on the books. That coupled with John Elliot's public slagging of him made it impossible for him to remain there.
And if we had him on Saturday we would have won by 6 goals.Sainternist wrote:Agree with you 100%, Mr Magic.Mr Magic wrote:Are you serious?Thinline wrote: Besides we got f*** all out that other Carlton mercenary A Hamill.

Hamill was a fantastic pick up. In getting him (and G-Train) our membership drive for 2001 esculated. He was brilliant in a Saints jumper. He put the fear of god into opposition defenders with his presence alone. Even when he wasn't kicking goals, he was hitting opponents hard in contests which would often contribute to the team winning a game. But sadly, the injuries killed his career. A huge shame.
FEV may have bigger shoulders BUT Kosi is by far and away ahead of him in most other aspects...saintjake wrote:
Fev, regardless of his off-field issue is head and shoulders better then Kosi will ever be.
Judd was more interested in how much more money he could get if Fevola were to leave the club.Sunday Red wrote:He did absolutely nothing to calm down a team mate who was obviously a liability.

Not sure the Bullies would be throwing in Everitt as well as Lake for Fev...and would the $700K+ not be an issue for them if they already can't pay Lake what he wants?saintsRrising wrote:What if the Dogs offer Lake for Fev???? Lake wants more money...and the Blues can pay it.
An AA FB for Fev would ease the Blues masses somewhat...particularly if Everitt was thrown in.
Then they could still pick up Hall and have Fev at FF and Hall at CHF.
carlton massive losers in that trade, no disrespect to gooseWinmarvellous wrote:Just throwing it out there, but what if we could somehow pull off a 3 way trade with extras, bu the key personnel being Goose (CHB), Fevola (FF) and Roughead (FF). We get Roughie, Hawks get Fev, Carlton get Goose. That I'd go for in a heartbeat. I know I live in fantasy land, but what the hell. Let a man dream.
I am all for Fev at the Saints for the right price, but that price is not Kosi IMO.saintjake wrote:FEVOLA IS MILES AHEAD OF KOSI THIS YEAR!
