There is talk about using Tyson as part of the trade bait to get Lever, 

No there isn't. If Tyson were to be traded, it would be to a Victorian club.

    Updated version of article:  http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-08-08/it-never-happened-crow-lever-denies-meeting-dees

    From original article:  IN-DEMAND Adelaide star Jake Lever has denied reports he met with Melbourne officials.

    • "I never met with Melbourne," Lever told radio station FIVEaa on Tuesday.
    • "That's a rumour I just laugh at.
    • "It never happened."

    I do not detect any spin, hedging or camouflage in Lever's comments.  And, he doesn't seem the type to outright lie.

    He isn't coming to the Demons. 

    Sad that he laughs at the rumour/prospect of coming to our beloved Demons.  I hope that isn't typical of the players we may be targetting.

    Edit:  the updated article gives a slightly different angle on what he said.  He seems will entrenched in Adelaide with a weekly radio spot.

    Sounds like he is just laughing off the rumours, not necessarily laughing at the prospect of coming to us.  He would probably say the same thing if the rumour was about him meeting with Collingwood or the Dogs.

    Not surprised that it didn't take place, though.  Seems a little unprofessional to me, plus the Crows are flying at the moment and are a big chance of winning it all.  You would at least wait until the season is done before really looking at your options.

    Thought exactly the same thing.

    Unusual for players.....  not unknown for managers :rolleyes:

    All very odd..and fluffy

    The circus ain't in town yet ! :unsure:

    I'd actually be kind of glad if he hadn't met with us yet. I think it says a lot about a person's character if they are directly talking to other clubs in the middle of a premiership tilt. Leave it to the managers

    His name escapes me, but the news breaker guy on SEN this morning who is usually pretty good said categorically that the meeting happened.

    If that is true it makes young Jake a liar - he denied it on air in Adelaide.  

    The most practical time to have 'met' was in Darwin.  Maybe a casual beer with mates (eg Petracca) after the game in someone's hotel and the likes of Goodwin and Viney walk in and say 'hi' and have a 'get to know chat'. 

    Maybe that is a 'meeting' to a journo but not a 'meeting' to young Jake.  For now I'll give him the benefit of the doubt as after Scully I detest blatant liars.

    I recall Kurt Tippet saying similar things on radio and we know how that ended up.

    But would you imagine the reaction if he said "yes I met with Melbourne and considering their offer".  He would always deny it if he or his "Manager" met with the Club.

    Either way I would be surprised if he left.

    I feel as though if the meeting did not happen, Goodwin and co. would have come out blatantly saying it did not happen. However, though he did not acknowledge it happened, he gave a very systematic answer that did not deny it and Jones voiced words that were nearly exactly the same. Goodwin doesn't muck around with the media and if it didn't happen, he wouldn't have made his answer so ambiguous.

    Why bother chasing a (soon to be) All Australian defender when we already have one.

     

    Put Tom McDonald back to the backline and instead of going after Lever go and get Patton/Lobb.

     

    Jetta OMac Frost

    Hibberd TMac Hunt

    Brayshaw Jones Vince

    Petracca Hogan Melksham

    Garlett Patton/Lobb Watts

    Gawn Oliver Viney

     

    Lewis Hannan Salem Tyson

     

     

    Looks ok to me...

    We have a good trade history with GWS, only think is it won't come cheap. Have to be realistic can't offer Pederson for either of them.

     

    Weideman and a late first round pick?

    Only a dumb club would trade Weid when he is a 2nd year key fwd with potential. He's worth more to us going ahead than his value now on the open market. 

    I'd much rather Kelly or Devon Smith or Kennedy or Hopper from GWS than Patten or Lobbe. We are still badly short of quality mid depth, particularly outside quality. 

    Dont get me wrong, Lever would be a good get, but I'd wet my pants if we got Kelly.

    Football is lies- of course he's gonna deny it, his team is top of the ladder about to launch an assault at the cup.

    Was just thinking similarly, maybe the media is misinformed about the circumstances about their "meeting". Could've just been "coincidentally" running into each other and goodwin happened to get Levers thoughts on footy for next year

    The price for Kelly will be astronomical. I have a bet with my brother over who will finish higher in the Brownlow, I backed Oliver he took Kelly and he probably has me beat.

     

    Imagine the price we would put on Oliver...

    Oliver, Petracca and Kelly in the midfield.

    Talk about the perfect blend.  Three young superstars all with their own rare and incredible skillsets.

    Ok Ill stop dreaming now....

    Wish we drafted him back in the day, that draft will go down as a super draft with him, Truck, Gus, Heeney and going to fruition.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
