FEVOLA / Tigers take a nibble at Fevola

[mightytiges]

You'll all probably think I'm mad just for even suggesting it but would anyone be interested in "the Fev" at Tigerland if the Blues can't squeeze him into their salary cap?

We don't have a genuine FF with Richo at HF and with Cambo retiring we may be forced to fork out money to stay above the minimum TPP. After last week we look to heading for another low finish (+ high draft pick in the PSD).

[harry bosch]

if we could get him for free in the psd yeah but no draft picks

[WilliamPowell]

 


 


 

Er... NO - don't need another stupid footballer

[Rodgerramjet]

Gee, you'd like to think so, but I don't think we could contain him, he'd go outta control.

[Roar]

I'd like to see that NOT!!! Imagine Richo & Fev in the same forward line dummy spits all over the place, we could not contain the 2  huge egos within the club.

[om21]

No thanks.

And you will find that any forward will struggle with disposal that Richo gets........

[jezza]

Not really the sort of player we need IMO. I'm confident we'd have plenty of cap room to accomodate him, but unless we could get him in the PSD, I'd hate to think of what we'd have to give up in return.

I think we'll see a lot of reasonably big names linked to us during the course of the year though, from what I understand we are fairly close to the minimum cap requirements this year, and with retirements and delistings at the end of this season, not only will we have heaps of room free, but we may actually HAVE to recruit a big name with a big salary to meet those minimum requirements. And let's face it, we could use another KPP player at the club.

STAY CLEAR OF CRAZY JOE FEVOLA

That's what I've heard too jezza. I mentioned Fevola because that's what I was thinking of as well as him being a reliable and long set-shot kick for goal. Giving up draft picks is a no-no.

Of course would prefer instead a young-20's KP defender (or two) with good foot skills who can set up run out of defence (would be far cheaper too than a Fevola) but there weren't really any decent young defenders available last year. The PSD was pretty weak in 2004.

Waddaya mean MT?

Knobel is a gun!

 

Back to the thread, Fev would never fit in.  Plus I think there are a few personal issues to sort out when he next plays against the Tigers 

But a player like Glass or Gardiner from WCE, Hmmmmm

[mightytiges]

LOL LT. Compared to Ben Marsh he is

I'm sure Browny and Fevola would kiss and make up lol.

Glass is a WA boy so most likely would be reluctant to leave Perth especially with the Eagles on the rise. Still it's that type of defender that would come in handy. Did you mean Carroll instead of Gardiner LT? Gardiner would cost a fortune and as a ruckman not what we need.

[LondonTiger]

MT, I would take the 2005 Brownlow medalist Gardiner in a flash.

Do not know much about Carroll.

What about a few of the Fremantle talls (old Victorian lads)?  Pay Freo back for our inflated payment to Gas...

[letsgetiton!]

we have limbach, mguane and a sober shultz in future to fill fwd roles, we dont need a dumbarse like the shag

[jezza]

West Coast have a plethora of young talls who will all be battling for limited spots, they are a team well worth keeping an eye on for potential PSD targets.

[letsgetiton!]

 i know this has nothing to do with the tigers , but a friend of mine who owns a company that is a big sponsor of the blues told me on monday that fevola flew to mt gambier on the weekend to meet and chat with jarman. apparantley the crows want him and the blues will trade.
