I like all the talk of him going to Collingwood. He can play in a backline that couldn't get a game at Melbourne.

Or

He can come to Melbourne that are heading the opposite direction up the ladder to Collingwood.

    I reckon Frost is part of the deal. It's the only plausible reason he would have put contract negotiations on hold till the end of the season.

    Frost, who would be around the mark of their best 22 without Lever, and out first round pick this year would easily get it done.

    If that eventuated, we'd have another gap to fill on the list in terms of a key back.

    Joel Smith and I believe Watts can be a very good back man. 

    Watts should have played spare man back v North last week instead of Lewis. I thought the coachs would have got that right but got it totally wrong. Watts is tall, a good read of play and foot disposal is A1. I think Watts can play a very similiar role to Jack Gunston. Gunston has been a gun down back. I suppose if we trade for Lever this will be his role...

    Watts needs to stay forward for the rest of his career and Smith wouldn't fill the need - he's not big enough.

    Playing Devil's advocate....I don't want to lose him but...would you trade Weideman to Collingwood (probably looking for a tall forward) for draft pick + possible player for on-forwarding to Adelaide for Lever ?    We already have Watts, McDonald and Hogan as talls (when all fit) and we could also look at Omac going forward if Lever comes in.   It looks worse when on paper, as I think Weideman will develop into a very good player...   

    No

    Only against the rules for free agents to meet with other clubs. Lever is too young to be a free agent so it's fair game. Sucks for Adelaide that they continue to lose talent. That's Dangerfield, Phil Davis, Tippett, Bock all gone when they were at their peaks or close to as players.

    A bit like (a then injury ridden) Scott Thompson going to Adelaide.  Anyone remember did we get anything for him?

    My mate is an AFL scout, and he thinks lever is on his way. He also said that one of the guys he works with is "best mates" with lever and apparently he is coming to Melbourne for the next few weeks when he can to look at houses.

    Sounds like one of those "my brothers mates dads cousin knows such and such" I realise but it seems like we couldn't be in a better spot to land him.

    Rumours are fun

    Like Melbourne as in the capital of Victoria, or Melbourne as in MFC????

    Pick 12 which we gave to Geelong for Beamer

    To continue this story, when Beamer left as a Free Agent, we received a 3rd round draft pick as compensation, which turned into Dean Kent.

    If we can't get it done with a 1st round pick and 2nd round pick then not worth it, I would even go 2017 1st round 2018 1st round for lever and Adelaide 2nd pick this year or next, shouldn't need to trade any players

    If he wants to come here then this years 1st rounder and a later bunch of pick swaps will do. If he doesn't then we can offer all our first rounders until 2050 and we will be wasting our time.

    lever is all class; easily worth two first rounders

    will in the conversation as the best defender in the competition for the next decade

    all the word i've heard is that it's the dogs, us and the pies into him in a big way

    2 first rounds??? You have to be joking. He  has only had 1 good year and plays as a 3rd tall back. Gary Albett went on 2 first rounds. Worth a pick in top 10 and a late 40's pick.

    I'd defiantly give up a first round pick a seconder rounder and a fringe player max. Lever is that bloody good though that he would give us certainty in the use of those picks and of course a ready made young gun back with 10 plus years to come. Yes please!

    Watch Lever for 30 seconds and anyone can tell he is all class.

    crows will demand a seriously good player and a first round pick if a club isn't prepared to give up two good players

    lever will be one of the best key defenders in the competition for the next decade

    OUT: 1st round pick, Tyson
    IN: Lever, 2nd round.

    Something around that ball park should satisfy Adelaide.

    What makes you think Tyson would just want to pack his bags and move to Adelaide? He's already been Oakleigh Chargers-Sydney-Melbourne.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
