I really dont know whether we should target him or not (not that it's my decision :P)

On one hand the benefits of a lead up FF would do wonders for our forward structure
On the other hand is his off-field antics

Which one outweighs the other - I have no idea.

[Cicjose]

i would go for him and pick up a couple in the draft

[PowerBug]

Very interesting. Does he fit the requirements at Freo? Yes

[Cicjose]

we need another key forward

put simply yes

[roo boys!]

So that is basically every team now that has been linked to picking up Fev? :P

[Fletch74]

Better make sure you keep him away from the people who were involved with Cousins, Gardiner & co. Those people in the west will lead you astray... We all know Fev doesn't cope well with distractions :P

[chatters24]

Why no get him....he'll fit right in with all the other aging key position players you have there!

Wasn't that what J Anthony was supposed to be??  ;)

He was (to a degree) but Fev is by far a better FF.

but you're not really wanting Freo to take the dangerous gamble on FEV though are you??  :o

[Cicjose]

i know i would

[Maca24]

Not a lot of risk involved if he is on a minimal wage.

[valkorum]

Like I said earlier there is risk involved because of his off-field issues but if those can be controlled then I think the positives are significant.  A 60+ goals a year FF.... how many teams would jump at the chance for that.  For $50k plus $6k per game (22 games = $182k) it is little risk financially but a big risk for the brand if the off-field issues take over.

2012 is our last stint with McPharlin and Pav 30 and Sandi 29. We must get Fev!
If Fev comes to freo and kicks 50+ Goals along with Pavlich playing forward 50+ we
will win the premiership.
