WHEREVER controversial Carlton forward Brendan Fevola ends up after trade week, it won’t be at the Sydney Swans.

The Swans had been touted as a possible home for Fevola as speculation mounted that the Blues were considering trading the Coleman Medallist after his drunken antics at the Brownlow Medal function on September 21.

With the departure of Barry Hall and Michael O’Loughlin in 2009, the Swans theoretically had room to accommodate Fevola both on the field and in their salary cap.

However, coach Paul Roos said that he wouldn’t pursue a trade for Fevola when trade week begins on Monday, October 5.

“At this stage, we’re down the track with other players and obviously we’ve committed to keep our first-round draft pick so it would be highly unlikely we’d be interested in Brendan,” he said on Wednesday afternoon.

The Swans have a good record when it comes to getting the most out of troubled forwards seeking a second start.

Tony Lockett, Hall and Nick Davis all enjoyed considerable success in Sydney after moving from their original clubs, with the latter pair playing key roles in the Swans’ run to the 2005 premiership.

But Roos said the club hadn’t considered whether Fevola’s history of poor behaviour would be an issue for the Swans’ notoriously strict code of conduct.

“We haven’t really gotten to that stage to be talking about it, to be honest. We don’t even know what Carlton’s going to want in exchange,” he said.

“Our pick six, we want to keep… so we don’t want to waste Carlton’s time and even get to the level of discussing Brendan if we’re not prepared to give up a first-round draft pick.”
