Lever would be automatic first 18

    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...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
