Fevola ?
Brendan Fevola was on the Footy Show last night and looks like the Swans are after him. 3 million over four years. Do we want him. Would he fit into the Bloods way of behaviour. How would he handle being out of the spotlight that he is used to in Melbourne. Is four years too long.

Based on current articles (including the inside connection of having a godfather at carlton) it wouldnt suprise if Davis was offerred as part of the trade???
(Just couldnt resist getting him into this thread).Comment

I agree there is a 75% chance that this is Fev's management courting big offers to bluff Carlton back to the ATM for the rest of the cash he's after.
The other 25% chance that they are serious, would work in our favour because although Mick is maybe keen to play on next year, maybe he isn't! I see O'Loughlin retiring at years end.
Barry Hall would certainly play much further up the ground than Brendan and that might suit the forward structure till Baz retires in say 2010 or 2011.
The negatives are many and although Kirky is old in terms of age (not heart and ability), I can not imagine Brendan Fevola grown up enough to get his head around Kirk and the Swans culture for the next 3 years Kirk is Captain. I think Swans culture would bore Fevola into depression and ultimately bad form. I would love to be proved wrong, but Fevola is a kid and won't mature till he's 35 or maybe even 40.The Pain of Discipline is Nothing Like The Pain of DisappointmentComment

Would explain the strange promotional release issued by Nick Davis's management earlier this week.
Cue newspaper centimeters highlighting Davis's "matchwinning abilities".
Would also explain Roosy talking Nick Davis up.Seriously, how good are the South Melbourne Market dimmies?Comment

Nick Davis plus first round draft pick for Fevola, sounds good to me, but that may not be enough for Carlton. They would lack tall options up forward if Fevola goes, so I'm thinking that, they want at least Ryan O'Keefe sadly.
I hate to give up ROK!Comment

I think Fev is keen to move to different club because of the clause in his current contract set by Greg Swan? (correct me if I am wrong) saying. "One more stuff up and he's off the list."
Unless that clause is removed I reckon Fev is as good as gone from the blues.Comment
-
Forget abput Davis and Fev, a godfather at Carlton? Is his name Vinnie? Part of the Carlton Crew?
Much more interesting story.
However, Davis trade would make sense. Roos saying he is still wanted etc etc.
What about LRT as a tall trade? Spud Murphy fills LRT's role or Grundy.In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.Comment

-SourceSwans coach Paul Roos has called a news conference for Friday morning at the club's SCG headquarters to discuss the report.
Sounds remarkably similar to Spida gate. Any news from Roos?Comment

I think it is more a case of pumping himself up Aker style.
Personally, I don't really want him, maybe if he was 3yrs younger.

Ok my guess is it will be announcements of retirements - perhaps Everitt, Crouch, Matthews & maybe Leo (only because he is already working part time with a stock broking firm in readiness for retirement) - so that frees up some money so maybe Fev is in the mix - and Kennelly will go back to Ireland at the end of next year. Oh well as good a guess as any!!I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

4 years....big call....
I guess they are looking at that they can extend the premiership window out to another 3 years...
If you also take into Baz's comments on Cousins, (and when you look at him he will go another 2-3 years at full tilt with the way swans manage injuries)
As long as he doesn't carry on like years before, aside from the window issue he has been pretty well behaved, i think his wife's coming back into his life this year has also had a big part in that as well.
It could work...
As far as trade...I dont think Nick Davis will come back into Sydney's line up, as much as i like him as player so he will be up for trade for sure.
Maybe a few fringe players, but again a big call with the last open draft for 2 years.Comment

We'll give them Davis, Bucky and our first rounder.

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
