Frost and 1st rounder #12 

swap for

Lever and crows 2nd round #36

Weighted too much our way Norm.

Think the Lever/Watts/Gibbs three club deal has legs. Maybe our 2017 second rounder to Adelaide as well. We lose Watts and 2nd round pick and gain Lever.

Having said that, I like Watts and would be sad to see him traded

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

Their power forward is looking risky.

Will adelaide want 2 first rounders for him?

What they want and what they get are two different things. This is not the Neeld era anymore. The adults are in charge now


Frankly, I would rather sacrifice two first rounders and keep Watts (and Frost)! Watts has been here through the bad times and (recent matches aside) was really showing what he was capable of over the last twelve months. Like Hogan, he can be a game-changer when on fire and I would hate to see that happen with Carlton of all teams.

i would rather lose pick 12 this year and (optimistically) pick 18 next year and have both Lever and Watts helping us make a serious tilt at the 2018 Premiership!

Wow, last week it was Hogan now Watts is being thrown around on the trade table. smh

Yes a week or two in footy can change opinions hugely. Frost is still young and we have praised him most of the year untill loss in form.
Personally I was afraid Brayshaw would never make it back as classy as he did and so soon.
Watts has been a match winner many times and we can't seriously expect to gain anything short term from dealing him to help us in our window. He is reaching a mature peak. Pedo perfect example.

Personally I would give 2 first rounders for Lever. Not a player.
For starters Lever is one of the first rounders, and we will likely finish high next year so say pick 13+ we would be giving away.
We are in the window now for many years to come and a young Lever can be a pillar for the next decade of that.

Not sure how you are going to trade Frost. He is out of contract.

Not sure Frost will give us any Leverage

 

Sorry.....

Lever is No.1 in Afl for intercept marks per game at 9.69 per game.
Frost at No.27 at 6.50.

So effectively if Lever replaced him we are statistically say a goal to the better per game?

That's huge.

9.69 marks per a game. Surely not 9.69 intercept marks per game


I've got an idea. Trade Trengove to Richmond for their first rounder. Trade that to Adelaide for Lever. Oh wait a minute........

Lever 1st

Frost 27th

Oscar 33rd

 

Enough said.

 

edit - well not enough said, they do play different roles. Didnt expect Oscar to be too high as our main tall back.

Whoever is #1 at hitting targets inside 50 should be the next trade after lever if we can get him, we must be ranked 17 at this, only slightly better than Collingwood.

I find it funny that posters play down the importance of an effective intercept player. Almost as though they have an easier job than a player who doesn't have the same intercept ability.

The fact that Lever is number 1 on the list as a key defender at the same age as O-Mac and similar games is mind blowing. 

Do supporters understand that intercept players also have opponents to play on too?

Hibberd is our best intercept player and sits at number 9 on that list and he's arguably now one of our most important players.

Imagine having a key defender version of him..

No doubt about it. Someone who can guard the big guys but also judge the ball in flight and take a good grab. Crucial if not more important in the modern game.

Isn't that Jeremy Howe fella a good intercept mark, maybe we can trade for him? :lol:

Take away Jeremy's marking and he's pretty rubbish. Lacks any real natural defensive foundation to his game because he was a forward as a junior.

Lever trumps him in most facets of the game by some margin.

Not sure why this has turned into a Lever vs Oscar thread, they would play in the same team if Lever came to us. With Adelaide, Lever plays with Talia and Hartigan/Keith as the 2 'bigger' guys and also has Jake Kelly in the mix. Ideally we'd have Lever, TMac, OMac and Hibberd, which I think would be an even better combination than Adelaide's. OMac incidentally average's around the same intercepts as both Talia and Hartigan.

I could not have made it any clearer that I was joking...

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
