He took a few clubs for a ride that year, including us.

To be fair we didn't exactly make our club an attractive place to play for at the time, so you couldn't blame him for not wanting to come to us.

That's true, my gripe is he played us and other clubs, when he was already signed with Carlton mid year. You can take that to the bank.

Lever will say nothing until the Crows finish their season.  Quite rightly, his focus should be on winning a flag this year... before he nominates us and works at winning another next year...

as for your missus...can she take a decent intercept mark?

and has she got a 'beautiful leg '   ??

what i was told is that a significant party at adelaide has declared that it's a "done deal" in so much as he's picked the club he wants to play for and the salary he wants to receive - but like everything, i take it with a grain of salt

You must go through a vast amount of salt ... :D

What a Family....


Few different posters on BigFooty saying Lever to Pies is a certainty. I'm backing @Chook in Perth over those flogs.

Don't underestimate the ways Collingwood can get around the salary cap with their high profile recruits. 

 

Lever would have to think very hard if it was a choice between us and Collingwood. For a start, the Pies have the popularity that we dont, and for some players the extra adulation alone is a tangible thing. We cant sell him on our list being better because he saw us lose to half a Collingwood side a week ago. Those sorts of things can easily tip the balance if he wasnt already 100% sold on a particular club.

If the money was roughly the same, im not sure why he would pick us right now. I will hate him forever if he doesnt though. Everyone knows we are better than Collingwood right?

I hope Chooks mail is right and he is on his way, but this club has crushed me so many times i just cant believe anything positive until it actually happens.

Lever is not the end of the world. He is an intercept player. Most teams have one. I think Lever is a tad over rated and not the most important position we need to fill. If he comes to us, i hope we dont pay overs.

Yeah, i get that..... i just want to know that we dont suck so bad that nobody will pick us to be traded to.

If we go into next year without adding anyone other than kids from the draft i will be concerned, as i have little confidence that our current list can improve enough to give it a genuine shake.

Our list is young enough that improvement should be an occurrence through natural development and experience, but i agree that can only take us so far. If we want to get involved in the deep end of September, we're going to need as much A-grade talent (or as close to) that we can get our hands on.

Hahaha. Good one.

Mate if he was a Melbourne player, he'd be treated like Jesus' second coming.

I think a more accurate comment would be lever is (more than) a tad over rated by some on this site. Well one on this site.

I find it hard to see how he is 'overrated' given what he is managing at this age. I'm pretty sure he was named in the AA extended squad.

It would be like saying Oliver is overrated. But somehow I don't think you'd believe that given your bias.

Some supporters have NFI about talent from other clubs. Those who suggest Lever is overrated usually fit that bracket.

Leads the AFL for intercept marks at 22.

Overrated lol.

Is a third tall with average disposal and not amazing pace. Struggles on key forwards.

He has good runners beside him at Adelaide but without them he would not offer nearly as much. 

16 disposals a game is very low for a third tall.

According to Slobbo, Lever has verbally committed to the Dees.

We will soon see how good the drunkards mail is.

Does he have mail?  It sounds like he is making out he does to cover himself in case it happens:

"...There’s people at Melbourne whispering to other people that they believe that Lever may have had a verbal commitment to join Melbourne,” Robinson said...That’s just speculation..."

Doesn't sound convincing! 

Maybe he is listening to the same Melbourne people who thought we were in the finals...

Loose lips. That is a pity if true, we have been pretty good lately at keeping things in house.

May not have come from us though.

Well I hope it didn't, whatever happens.

Maybe he spoke to Judd's grandmother.

Cool, I take it you don't watch much of him.

Perhaps you watched the game against West Coast and made up your mind?

Shhh.

Lever is going to be the greatest defender of his generation. Better than Rance (so much more advanced at the same age i can hear the acolytes whisper).  And so young. So much potential. Will be the best recruit the dees have ever had.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
