Carlton is believed to have sounded out Melbourne regarding its interest in Fevola, but the Blues received a lukewarm response.
However, the Demons have declared they would love the prized signature of Fevola's teammate Lance Whitnall.
The 26-year-old is unhappy with a new contract offer on the table at Optus Oval worth about $300,000 a season.
Whitnall's manager Ricky Nixon said yesterday the offer wasn't satisfactory and that West Coast, Melbourne and one other club involved in the finals had shown serious interest.
Demons recruiting manager Craig Cameron said last night the club was ready to pounce if Whitnall walked out on the Blues.
"We are certainly very interested and we'd be a better team with him in it," Cameron said.
"He has a great football brain and if he falls out with Carlton we are here."
Good thing they didn't persist with the Fevola angle. That would be the only thing worse than throwing a fortune at the poor man's Russell Robertson that is Chris Tarrant. I know we need a replacement for Neitz in the next couple of years but an overpayed clown with pineapple hair and a bad attitude is not the person.
The Big Fat Ugly Kid - on the other hand - I will take with open arms. Again provided he's not being paid too much.
