His “self assured” personality shall fit in very well at Carlton whose rich history with similarly styled naval gazes include:
* Mark Maclure
* Stephen Kernahan
* SOS
* Diesel
* John Elliott
* Peter Busatow
* Brendan Fevola etc...... _________________ I love the Pies, hate Carlscum |

This really isn't about FA compensation for losing Faz to Carlton. It's about doing the right thing by Faz who's struggling to make it back into the senior team and would have better opportunities at Carlton. It's all about Karma. Do the right thing by Faz and the rest will sort itself out, either by way of players wanting to join Collingwood because they know we will treat our players with respect, or Faz himself who has had mental health issues, will improve himself by the opportunity to play at Carlton and get personal benefit. If we end up with no pick for Faz it doesn't matter.
The real one we want to keep is Elliot. People are forgetting what a good player he is. If he sorts his injuries out he will be a very good player for us next year. |

I wish him well wherever he goes - assuming he goes. He is a talented player who has always given his all for us and seems to be well liked by his teammates. Unfortunately for him, the emergence of WHE, Stephenson and De Goey, who all have greater pace, mean that his place in our best 22 has been taken by others. |

Very harsh Magpie Bat.
He doesn't tackle as much as he / we would like
He can impact & we've all seen that. He doesn't impact consistently - although I expect yours was the abbreviated verson. |
Mate, he has two assets: marking and set-shot kicking. And when his set-shot kicking deserts him (as it has several times this year in the 2nds), he is the definition of useless. And don't get me started on the number of times I've had the misfortune of watching him with hands on hips as the defender rebounds out of the 50 like there's no one there...
Now, he's done some hard yards over the journey, from the foot and ankle injuries to the mental health (and more of us have been in that particular sphere than we care to admit). That's all well and good. But he's been here 8 years and he's the same inconsistent player. Moreover, we have not missed him this year. This forward division that can kick high scores while keeping the ball locked in tight has become exactly that because it hasn't had Alexander Fasolo (and, I would argue, a diminished Jamie Elliott) in it.
Disappointing to see him go, but that's life. This will be an amicable break-up, unlike the one we had with that thing who wears #39 for the Blues... _________________ I am vengeance. I am the night. I am MagpieBat. |

More pace and more height. Fas is very good overhead but short enough to be guarded by a small back, the other 3 almost demand a KP backman to counter them.
I wish him well too, I've always been a fan. He'd actually be a good fit at Carlton and while I'd hate to see him wearing that filthy guernsey, I hope he plays well (if he goes there) except against us. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

We'll have to write a list of everyone who doesn't want him for when/if he kicks 5 on us one day.
I can see everyone now.... "We should I kept him, gave him up for pick 50" _________________ Go Pies! |

If he goes to Carlton, he could well win the Coleman medal, but not a premiership one _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

If leaves for substantially more money then that’s ok.
But I would otherwise try to keep him, as I am concerned Elliot may struggle and Stevo needs to be rested ocassionally (may well have been quiet sensibly rested this season if Fas was fit). Stevo will move the the midfield eventually and Fas could take his permanent fwd role.
You don’t get Fas type talent everyday so we should try to keep him at a sensible price of course. IMO he is worth $1mill over 3 years, and so I would match Carl offer - let Carl pay more if they want. |

Agree. I’ll never understand the heat players get for trying to get a game and make a buck.
It’d be different if he was a required player but I don’t think he is. Plus any trade to Carlton is hardly going to bite us in the bum - they’re a decade away from a flag at least.
Good luck Faz - though try to get more out of their salary cap for us eh. _________________ Four legged animals good, two legged animals better |

Look, I really don't get this. What is this proclamation that Faz "doesn't impact".? Last year, he was a major goal kicker for us. He singlehandedly enabled us to defeat Richmond last year. It is simply not true that he does not impact. I am reluctant to write Faz off without seeing him in our current team. Maybe, in the new environment of our forward line, he could add an extra ingredient, under certain circumstances. I just don't understand why we didn't test this out in the last few games. _________________ Free Julian Assange!!

And how often does he do that? Once every blue moon. The fact that Crocker was played ahead of him when Fas was in better VFL form should tell you all you need to know about where they see him.
Also, we did not beat Richmond last year. You're thinking of that game nearly three seasons back... _________________ I am vengeance. I am the night. I am MagpieBat. |
