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.

    Yes, you are correct. Still think it's overs

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

    You can probably add Charlie Cameron to Brisbane as well.

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

    Would our first rounder and dean Kent get it over the line?

    If Charlie Cameron moved to Brisbane, then possibly.

    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.

    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

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
