    Of every club, not just ours. In fact he's just about second in line to Rance as a key defender. If he does leave there'll be a big fight between just about all the Victorian clubs I'd think.

    Trengove is only average though and is no better than Tom McDonald or Frost. While I think the need for a key defender is overstated by our injuries, Lever is quality and the one we want.

    Aside from Mac brothers and Frost, who are all playing, which other key defender is injured. And don't say Garland, because even if he was fit, we'd be looking to pension him off at seasons end. Smith is more of a half back, who could play on a 3rd tall.

    He'd probably be automatic first 5. Gawn, Hogan, Petracca, Oliver, Lever

    I'll put up one of those posts: lever won't leave. He's from all reports a true class act, loved at the club, future captain, etc.

    he was a freakish talent before the leg injury in juniors. Adelaide know he was a draft steal and won't give him up for less than the moon, Jupiter and a second round pick. 

    Please, to all who put forth our own overrating trades of players who are borderline 22 at the dees, stop. It's equivalent to Richmond offering us Shane Edwards and a second rounder for clarry, because we don't know how good he is. 

    I agree 

    As for a stock is he "fully valued"? Is he low risk low return relative to price?unless he has potential the market doesnt see he is no bargain. 

    Who are the diamonds in the rough?

    Who is undervalued?

    Who is worth more playing within our side?

    Cannot believe why so many people here are prepared to show Weiderman the door. 

    He is still a baby, needs 2-3 years at Casey yet

    I'm sure the club isn't entertaining a Weideman trade. That's the main thing.

    My god it looks delicious:

    Frost.       TMac.       Jetta

    Hibberd.   Lever.       Hunt

    Great defensive presence, a lot of aggression at the pill and at the man and excellent rebound as well. 

    Hunt could go to the wings if need be with your older mid back there but to me, that's a delightful back six

    Rubbish!

    oscar will end up as our premier gun defender. Lever not needed.

    watch last Monday. Better to spend big bucks on a gun, truly fast, midfielder. Watch how Treloar cut us up

    This is close to the most dynamic and solid back-six that I can recall in my time following the MFC. And with decent depth and interchangeability. Get it done PJ. :pj:

    I would absolutely love to land Lever. 

    I suspect we have zero chance of getting him though. There's no way the Crows will let him go.

    The 2014 draft was our chance. In fairness to Paul Roos and the recruiting team, we were well aware of this and it seems we tried pretty hard to get him.

    Crows would pay him good dollars to keep him, so we'd have to pay overs to get him to consider us, how much is he worth?

    The ball is completely in his court, Adelaide have no say in whether or not he chooses to come back to Vic. Only that they'll have a preference of club to deal with depending on who has the better hand.

    From the articles that I've read, it'll be family and girlfriend that are the deciders.

    I don't care why we pay for him. If we land him, it'll be a game changer for our club.

    My guess is the reason why we would pay for him would be to play some good footy.

    It would be great for those that watch Crows games to post who he plays on each week. I will do my best to do this. As I have stated you will find he rarely plays on the first or second forward making him hard to compare to O-Mac in particular. I dont disagree he would be starting 22 but I dont see him being as necessary as other positions we need to sort for a flag tilt.

    Interesting that neither co captain is automatic top 5... just an observation...

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
