Dees aren't going to give up overs for this kid.

Tom Mitchell was traded for pick 14, omeara pick 10 and 2018 second round, hibberd pick 29, Lachie Henderson future first round pick, Prestia pick 6.

lever isn't better than any of the above. 

melbournes first round pick this year should do the deal and at worst 2nd round next year. 

im glad some of the posters here are not deciding the future of the club. 

He's better than both of those...

Okay, okay, OKAY!

Not only is he better, he's significantly younger. Lever will play next year as a 22 year old. Prestia was 24 this year, Henderson 27. So he should be good for 50 more games than Prestia, and 100 more than Henderson. Plus we're gonna hopefully have a pick around 12 or 14 - hardly a priced top 5 or 10 pick. I hope I'm wrong, but I can't see how you can offer a 22 yo $800k a year and not cough up a 1st and 2nd rounder. 


Wow, that was weird.

Anyway, I'm not really bothered if we don't get a first round pick -- if Viney, Taylor, et al continue to pick up gems like Hannan later in the draft, I couldn't care less whether we have a first rounder this year or not.

Culture & environment are so much more important than where you sit in the eyes of "experts" as a 17 year old.

I also don't mind if we trade them both away.
Only going to be mid-teen picks and our window is now/next year/next decade.
As long as we get guns for our picks I believe we have enough core youth to be able to sacrifice a couple of drafts for trading purposes and bolster our side while we are attractive.

Also a first-rounder and Frost is the least we will have to give IMO anyway. Any club would swap pick 1 for him now and pick11(?) plus Frost I personally would laugh at.

I think you would find neither the lions or blues would give up pick 1 for Lever if they were in a position to get him. Martin yes, Lever no.

Lever at this point is still a largely unproven kid who plays loose on the 3rd tall and takes a good intercept mark. I'm fairly sure he will turn into a fine player but it's hardly a given that he will be A grade let alone the next big thing.

Look at Scully for an example he left us on big money was meant to be a marquee player for gws, there was no reason not to expect big things from him, and while he has been solid I would hardly call him a star, what makes Lever such a sure thing in comparison that anyone would give up so much.

 

Based on the interview with peter Jackson when asked about lever he refused to confirm our interest but said " it's exciting that players want to come to the mfc, it's our goal to be a destination club" 

reading between the lines I think he's ours if we can satisfy a trade for he crows

A hypotheical - 

If Jake has already committed to us verbally behind the scenes, can he change his mind? Is anything legally binding if no contract has been signed?

Of course he can.

Think Mitch Clarke freo/us.

He probably has. 

Farken.

Edited by stevethemanjordan

He'll fit in well into our backline.. That horrible chip kick up the middle in the last 5 minutes that results in Lewis Jettas goal on Sunday :rolleyes:

After R23 I've suddenly gone a bit cold on him. Reckon he's signed with Carlton after that game.

Nope. See the NBA deandre Jordan to the mavs said he was going there but never signed. Ended up getting persuaded to resign with his team.

If plugging that gaping hole in the midfield with an outside gun means we miss out on him, then so be it.

 

Otherwise, absolutely.

Yeah I don't know about this right now. Not saying he wouldn't be good but just not sure at this stage.

Be ready for this thread to go nuts again....

Ridge from Bold and the Beautiful wont be happy that Jake is taking the limelight. Seriously as if they know what his intentions are.

Same guy that announced Jesse Hogan's retirement from footy last year??

wtf? got a link??

 

Was the same guy (or gal). However does have some runs on the board, but then again so would I if I made 100 predictions a season. 

He is an insider, same as McClure, Barrett etc. so who knows what's going on but it does feel like Lever is gone and all the mail is he is heading to us bar Waldron. Plus with McGovern signing as predicted it just passes the sniff test  

No doubt that we'll be knee deep in it and here is hoping he is keen.

  • 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?
