Yes. He's in a better side. Conversely the side is better for him being in it.

The comparison is there because quite simply it is. It's been part of this discussion for along while and is nothing new.

Part of the Omac critique over the journey was to compare him to the likes of Lever even before it seemed a possibility that Lever may indeed be on our radar and a possible get. At this point it gained another dimension.

It would , I agree , be more than likely that Omac will develop  into a role somewhat augmented than the one he is charged with currently. He sort of needs to.

Lever is already quite accomplished. I see no reason why he would plateau.

All reasonable points. I agree it is likely lever will continue to improve but it none the less as i say it is not inconceivable he might plateau

    According to AFL site "Trengove of Port Power has spent the past two weeks in the SANFL, where he has been best on the ground in both games. The former Calder Cannon has attracted interest from Victorian clubs, most notably the Western Bulldogs and Melbourne, with his ability to play at both ends of the ground and as a pinch-hitting ruckman making him an attractive target.". He is a restricted free agent.

    So are MFC hedging their bets hoping for Lever or Trengove for down back? I doubt they want both.

    27 in november. would be a good (cheap) pickup regardless of lever

    On SEN Tom Rehn (I think that's his name) said it doesn't look good for the crows and Melbourne and Pies are in the mix.  Mentioned no other clubs.

    You can? So if Frost says I want to go to Adelaide we can't do a trade he ends up back in the draft? Is that how it works?

    Yes. If a trade breaks down, the player has a few options. (With examples)

    1. National Draft. (Luke Ball to Collingwood)

    2. Pre Season Draft. (Nick Stevens to Carlton)

    3. Sign with current club. (Dustin Martin potential move to GWS)

    4. Delisted / Retire.

    Mal Michael retired and was then drafted in the preseason draft by Essendon. This resulted in Brisbane being shafted without any compensation. Pretty sure the delisted free agency rules were written with this in mind and the player cannot be signed as a free agent if there was a contract offered by the current club. Happy to be proven wrong on the last point.

    No way Adelaide accepts Gibbs and a 2nd rounder for Lever you're dreaming. Only way that 3way trade gets up is if we give up at least a 1st rounder as well and perhaps Carton also send a 2nd rounder the Crows way

    Overs.

    So Crows get Watts, our first rounder (about pick 9) and Carlton's 2nd rounder (about pick 21) for Lever? Isn't that better than the Dangerfield trade, which was 9, 28 and Gore?

    Yes, I know Danger was a RFA, but remaining OOC near trade time is also a major risk for any club.

    Lever still has an entire career ahead of him. Crows get Gibbs not Watts. Gibbs is close to the end.

    It's gonna look awkward if the Crows win the Flag and then lose Lever and McGovern.

    I agree. Lever is not worth two 1st rounders IMO. 1st and a 3rd would suffice.

    Lever was named at CHB in the AFLPA Under 22 squad today.

    While not making the 22, Oscar McDonald was named in the squad of 40.  They could combine to form a super backline for the next 10 years.  We'll just have to put up with 10 years of STMJ talking about him in every thread.

    Talking about them both. Deifing one. Vilifying the other.

    I hope I'm speaking for everyone in this thread, but I for one will get around STMJ with any anonymous emotional support he needs if this doesn't come to fruition.

    Are you sure about the final 22? This is from an article posted today on the MFC site:

    Now in its fifth year, 22Under22 is the industry’s only recognised fan-voted award and provides the footy public with the power to select the final 22.

    Fans can now visit 22under22.com.au to cast their vote, before the final team is revealed at the AFL Players’ MVP Awards on Tuesday September 12.

    Fans who submit a team that matches the final 22Under22 team will automatically go into the draw to win an AFL Players' prize pack.

    Voting closes on Wednesday September 6, 2017.

    That's how i thought it worked jnr, i may be wrong. I thought a players contract expired after trade period so we had a chance to trade the out of contract player before the drafts If we dont make a trade the player is then free to leave the club and put themselves in the national & Pre Season drafts

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • 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.

      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?
