Carlton would rightly laugh their heads off at that. They've already got enough fringe midfielders who can't hit a target by foot.

Don't know where this myth comes from. Fevola has never had a good accuracy %.super dooper wrote:I would love Feeevvvvvolllllllaaaaaaa at St.Kilda, would love to be confident in at least 1 of our forwards kicking at better than a 50% strike rate.

If you have enough faith in the culture that GT created then we should be able to withstand whatever Fev brings.
Lyon is not the sort of bloke to cop s*** either.
BTW, I was talking to someone who knows Gardiner today, and they said he had been an absolute saint since he had been with us (no pun intended). Said he was really focussed and stable ...
I have, and and will continue to use it. It's a good descriptive term. It should in no way be thought of as derogatory to someone WITH cancer, as i'd expect they would hold it in contempt too!saintsrus wrote:Spot on there, the people saying it wouldnt say it if they had a close relo or friend die from it.TimeToShineFellas wrote: And FWIW I am sick of the use of the word "cancer" being bandied around this joint.
Correct. BF is a gun. Pick 9 is a nobody.TimeToShineFellas wrote:I wish some people would have a logical think about this scenario.......
We have just had a 60 - 80 goals a year player retire who is going to be hard to replace.
i dont have to like him, and I'll buy my membership regardless of whether fevola is beating up barmen, giving away stupid 50meter penalties, argueing with the umpire, lying on the ground sooking for a free kick instead of chasing his man, in st kilda colours or in carlton colours.BelfastSaint wrote:Dan Warna - Its obvious you are not Fevolas biggest fan ....
The Saints recruiting board however will not pay any attention to your concerns and if they do recruit Fev will you embrace him as one of the Saints family ....
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but where you come up with some of yours i have no idea. Its certainly not from watching the fevola i know.Dan Warna wrote:is fev constant? lol most of his goals came from slaughtering bottom 8 sides.
consistant, biggest lie out, he chokes against anyone with a decent defender on him, a criticism of gehrig at the END of his career, and fevola is supposed to be at his peak, so thats one lie put to rest.
accurate? well we've just seen MSG the whole accuracy thing is bollux too, slotting in about 3 out of 5 shots on goal...when he does get a shot on goal that is...
add to that discipline problems on field, (when the going gets tough or the game is on the balance you can be certain fev will give away a 50, and its not like is a 19 year old rookie he is 26)
and then there are the off field altercations, at least in FGs case he was drawn into the fights, fevola goes and starts them.
hes trouble off the field and trouble on the field, thats when he's not choking on pressure shots.
Personnel wise I agree, but I think our forward setup has been a big part of our problems.skeptic wrote:the thing is, of all the holes in our list... the forward line is the absolute least of our worries...
