Has anyone else heard the rumour that the Crows, Carlton and Melbourne are doing a 3 way trade? Watts to Carlton, Gibbs to Adelaide and Lever to Melbourne. If true what's everyone's opinion on that? I'd personally keep Watts, he's stuck with us through thick and thin over the years and he deserves all the success coming our way.

Wouldn't trade Watts

    If the deal was anything like that, i would personally make like a bandit.

    Watts for Lever any day of the week.

    Lever is 5 years younger and at LEAST as good as Watts already.

     

    *shakes hands on the deal.

    Adelaide media suggests the Dogs are in the play as well and Bevo spoke with his manager last week.

    Given he's a Romsey lad, I expect our very own Demonland royalty BBO will have a big part to play in Lever's recruitment into the Demons bosum. Lodging, swipe card to the wine cellar and full use of what must be described loosely as the 'gym'

    Lever quits his Adelaide radio show spot.  http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-08-21/lever-pulls-out-of-regular-radio-spot

    Sure sign he is leaving the Crows.  Seems down to a two horse race:  Dees and Pies.  Given the pies don't know who their coach will be and its list is all over the shop, it is hard to see they have the nod.

    Conclusion:  It must be the Dees...!

    Lever has said publicly there are four factors to this decision 

    1. Money. We can offer him the $$$ he wants 

    2. Family, his family are in vic 

    3. Team success, well we should play finals this year and keep the upward trend with him coming on board 

    4. Hasn't been confirmed but I've heard his mrs wants to move back to Melbourne

    Can we keep Lever away from our Romsey based demonlanders please. We don't know where they've been ( though we could make an educated guess )

    May I suggest the 'wine' cellar has been loosely named as well.

    Talking Footy saying Norf have upped their Dusty offer to $1.5 mill pa over 7 years.

    As much as I want Lever and a hard running A grade mid, I'm glad we're not offering that kind of dosh to Dusty (touch wood)

    As they go through their re-build, North are going to be rather irrelevant (a lot like we were for the majority of the past decade).

    If getting Dusty keeps them in the limelight, then it's obvious that's the direction they are wanting to take. But why on earth he'd want to go from the Tiges (arguably the biggest club in the AFL at the moment), to one of the smallest is beyond me.

    Enough with the dogs. They've had KPP problems for years don't try to fix them now and stuff us up!

    Regardless of what you think of Lever (he's one of the competition's genuine stars) and of OMac (he's far, far better than STMJ claims and he's much improved on last year), if Lever wants to play for us then, provided we don't jeopardise our ability to retain our core talent over the next 5 years, we do that deal.

    Of course you do. But you don't overspend. He's a value add.

    Dusty is a great footballer with the maturity and intellegence of a 3 week old puppy. He'll go where the money and easy life is.

    Back to Lever, I think the Lever/TMac/OMac combo will improve both OMac and TMac as footballers

    Would prefer to lose Frost and Kent than Watts and a pick.

    I would do the Watts deal for Lever but would want to move on Frost anyway so it would make sense to include him in that deal.

    IF he decides to come to the Dees of course.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
