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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
