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.

    No to the dogs.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
