what r we going to do when richo finally pulls stumps? no easy answers is there?
if fevola passed a medical and terry and greg were convinced they could get the best out of him i'd go for it. richo could play chf till patto was ready.with shultz chb the spine would be looking fine!
now how do we go about it? don't give up any early draft picks.
we know carlton are keen to off load him(salary cap pressare). we agree to honour his 3 year contract. with campbell gone and heaps of kids we'd have plenty of room. carlton have early picks they need experienced players. hall,kracker and tivvers mite suit them.we need a quality tall.
fevola has his knockers on this site but a fresh start and a good midfield mite be all he needs to bring out his best.

You'd better start ducking and weaving now R42!!! I personally agree as ive stated very early on in another thread but there are some very very strong views against us having him by other posters. I personally dont think the RFC will get him but you never know. He would need a pretty good shake up in his performances when he isnt in the contest which reminds me of many a year of the Richo of the club early on especially but given a foot up the rear you never know.
 
for the last 10 years we've bin one dimentional.kicking long 2 richo.richo getting double teamed and the ball being mopped up by the opposition. fevola would give us more options when coming in, with browny rodan kracker etc crumbing we'd look much more dangerous. richo didn't miss a game this year but an injury next year and we'd be very thin up forward.
if fev works out 4 us he'd be young enuff to be there wen the kids mature and the mighty tiges are fighting for top spot come 2007-08-09
 
I think Fevola is very one dimensional and belongs at Carlton. He's undisciplined and lacks resilience to play with injuries. He is a leading full forward who relies on lace out delivery and cannot take pack marks. He is on big $$ and does not provide a good example to his team mates.

Richmond in 2006 will have Pattison and Richo in the key forward roles with Stafford and Simmonds providing cameos. Our small forwards will be Brown, Krakouer, Rodan and Pettifer.

Hopefully we will see McGuane toward the end of the year.

Fevola's down side outeweighs his upside (great set shot kick at goal).
 
Gotta say that pets(pettifer)was pretty handy thisa year...kicked quite a few clutch goals,hope he can keep on next year,just gethis hands on a few more pack marks...and i recall jay *smile* having a big spring in his step,could take a hanger and was quite a good roost.
Then,the hypocrytical TAC dealt with him,and didnt he have and injury issue?So,all things being good next year we may see some juicy scoring by the tigers next year i reckon.....cheers!
 
Options up forward, well we had terry's triangle. Simmo will be put in the ruck, resting upforward. Schulz takes CHB, play ray hall up forward?!? Big razor can play newhere we can get a match up we like!
