Thus far it is just panning out as many have predicted it will.
They will claim he is available for trade, knowing full well that pretty much no club can afford him under their salary cap and that no-one will pay the trade price they put on his head. So he'll still be a Bloo come 2pm next Friday afternoon. They will claim to have tried and everyone will just get on with their lives.
In the meantime, we have 10 days of reading how the Swans really are interested, and that Roos and Ireland are just holding their cards close to their chests in making denials, while deluded Carlton fans debate whether ROK, pick 6, White and Vezspremi in return is really enough or whether the Swans are also obliged to throw Goodsey into the pot.
Fevola has to decide if he wants to stay at a club where he's not wanted. He can always choose to take a pay cut at a new club and make a fresh start with his football career.
And the Dogs may end up deciding a key forward is more important to them than retaining Lake, which would certainly be interesting."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

All depends on whether this is just a Carlton rocket up his bum, or they genuinely need to move him on. If Judd the pure has ruled on him "out demon - be gone with you" then off he will go! Haven't heard who it was Fev got out of hand with at the LowLow - maybe it was the Twiglet?!?!
If they need to move him on, then where else is he going to go? Assuming out of Melbourne is part of it (and that may suit Alex too, if she stays there!) then our only serious competition for him would be the Weagles. Crows forward line is better than it's ever been, Port are broke, Freo don't know what the football business is about, so won't even know he's available, and the Lions are pretty sound up forward.
Hi ho Sydney, here he comes! Better get ready for it!Comment

Some thoughts on Bazza trade
The Bulldogs are hanging tough on Bazza.
A few thoughts on this:
Forget the Fev trade, but if Carlton can make a deal for Fev with another club, Carlton may be another option and competition for the Bulldogs. They would be desperate for a ready-made replacement. They're in a similar position as the Bulldogs and would looking to move up the latter next year.
If WB wont come up with Pick 31 then try to get Dylan Addison, instead. Probably a fair swap.
As a last resort, simply let him go into the Pre-season draft and we should just redraft him, or perhaps make it known that we would do it. Would prefer not to have Bazza next year, but wouldn't be the worst thing to happen. I think the fans would take him back. We certainly didn't have any problems with either Jolly or ROK when they were threatening to leave.
This is the Bulldogs' window of opportunity. They should be the ones over the barrel.
I think we should hold out for pick 31 or Addison, but would be willing to throw in one of our higher picks or a marginal player to do the trade.Comment

He can't do that, he has an existing contract with Carlton. Unless Carlton were to delist him and pay him out his contract, which let's face it won't ever happen despite how unhappy they are with Fev.Comment

Hopefully Roos is on to this and is looking for a great deal for FevThe difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment

Ahaha some Carlton fans are jumping of da band wagon cauz Fev is going. Thats laughable.
Anyway we wont get him. I trust Roos and I can guarentee you he wont be here next year. I expect us to make a move for Ball though. Same with Kennedy and Seaby.Comment

Hasn't Roos ruled it out?

WOW. Massive call by the Blues. For a club that hasn't been known for it's ethics, good to see them taking a stand for something, whether you agree or not.Comment

The bits on Utube re Fev at Charlie were pretty funny.
