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

    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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
