Your source probably couldn't see Lynch and Walsh leaving in the same trade period either though so IMO he has to at the very least come into calculations.

Spot on!

When they sit down and assess the forward options for 2012, he WILL be discussed by the men in charge

Maybe the new guy has plans to play Goddard at ff?

I couldn't stomach another season on relying on little Milney to kick us a winning score with Riewoldt hobbling around and being crunched by three blokes every time we go forward.

I'd rather have Mark Jackson back before Fev.

There is a reason 2 clubs now have basically sacked him. Everyone knows how bad he is for a team enbvironment, listen to every AFL player when asked about Fev " Not really where we are at for our club , but hope for his sake someone else picks him up"

Hope he plays but not with us as we know he will F*ck us over is what they are saying.

We potentially face a summer of no off field distractions, why threaten that before it starts.

Spot on.

i have serious mental issues if im even considering this.
but when i look our list and see johnson and cahill as the only possibles to help roo in the fwd line from being triple teamed i almost think why not!
slap me someone!

It's a real double-edged sword, this Fev possibility.

I've thought about the pros and cons, and I'm going to add my weight to the bandwagon, because:

Even though the Lovett fiasco burnt us hard, stretch your minds back an extra year and remember when we could have picked up Cousins. That was one we DID miss out on, and I see Fev as in a similar boat to that. We would be doing him a massive favour by picking him up, and he would be treated the same way as a rookie - NO EXPECTATIONS, MINIMUM RISK. This is the polar opposite of his situation at Carlton and Brisbane, where he was expected to uphold his reputation as the best FF in the comp, and where he was presumably one of the highest payed players. Also put the leash on him re: media commitments ie. dont let him go on The Footy Show.

Top that off with the fact that he has links with St.Kilda and we are now entering a new phase with a new coach and with Walsh gone and a too-heavy workload on Roo and Milne. All we have to do is sign him for a one year deal for minimum chips and the worst that could possibly happen is we get a year similar to Gehrig's last year when he came "back" from retirement, played two games and spent the rest of the year in the two's.

On the other hand, what's the best that could happen? Not too hard to imagine how good that could be for everyone involved.....

Sainternist · Mon 17 Oct 2011 3:43pm

*singing* All we are saying is give Fev a chance

Con Gorozidis · Mon 17 Oct 2011 3:50pm

If I could be confident he would rock up to training every day.
Not booze. And simply shut up and not get in the way or take up valuable coaching resources id say yes .
Big IF though.

If i am a new coach the last thing i want to be worried about is some 30 year old muppet.

Easy to be a changed man when everything's going against you and your career's going down the gurgler.

How would Fev go if he got a game for the Saints and kicked 8 in a winning side at Etihad on a Friday or Saturday night. Fans going mental and lauding "The Fev".

Tick, tick, tick......

Simple solution to that: Don't worry about him. One strike, and your gone. Simple as that.

Make that 4 blokes, you can add Kosi to the list of blokes crunching him... however, I could probably see Fev crunching him as well... far out, Roo is up against it this year!!

But seriously, he aint a cancer, he is a top bloke and teammates love him. Keep him away from Channel 9 and the booze, and he'll be fine... being best mates with Racehound ambassador Jonno Brown couldn't have helped him at Brions either!!

When he went to the Lions, he was traded, still on top of the world and felt aggrieved, still playin up basically. He has hit rock bottom and so despite all of those chances, he was still a silly little boy who thought he'd done no wrong at the other clubs.

Go get him, pick 96...

Hey, why fight it...we've got a culture problem...(according to every other non- saints fan out there) ....no point pretending otherwise....bring the big stupid boofhead in!

I personally think he deserves yet ANOTHER chance. His problem isn't on-field, it's off-field. Can he be held in home detention between games? and kept away from dildos?

The worst tackling forward line in the comp. Imagine the run out of our forward line from the opposition. Other sides would be laughing each week fronting up to that.

Agree with P66, Saad needs a look in and Schneider to the midfield.

Would not want Fev and Kosi in the same forward line. Plugger is right. All you have to do is watch Fevs games this year.

I've seen him lay some of the best crunching tackles in the biz...maybe p66 is right, in that he can't be bothered tackling VFL players. He's certainly proven to be no slouch in the past...problem has always been his 'tude, not his ability.

I know, could good last games dragged him over the line...otherwise, egg on your face again. If I say please, will you leave us adults to discuss?

Plenty of options, Saad, Armo, Steven, Dal, BJ, Milera, Joey. All of those guys can either play there or rest there.

For those worried about our defensive pressure, Fev wont let the ball touch the ground and rebound

I know defensive pressure is important, but I thought we hated Ross Lyon because he played guys like Mini, Dempster, Eddy and Armo in the negative role in the forwardline - do you want that role back again? Someone call Robert Eddy we are 'unretiring' him...

You have a whole omelette on your face regarding Leon and luckily for you we will not get Fev to see it running down your body.
