Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever

[Boots and all 1,000]

Total star! Exactly what we need, I'm not saying we should cough up the kitchen sink but would be happy to offload one or more inside mids to get him.

FFS he was in the All Australian squad at 21 years of age and people here are saying his stats aren't good enough???

Sorry, i'm a bit confused. Did i miss something? Who on 'here' is saying 'his stats aren't good enough???'

[Moonshadow 17,678]

I see there's a Draft and Trade board has been started.

Are we shifting threads there mods?

Overrated lol.

Jarred rivers was also a great intercept mark... overrated

How are you unable to see real talent when it smacks you in the face?

Melbourne is confident they will get Lever.

Melbourne were confident they would make finals too... We all know what happened there. Lol

What makes you deduce bandicoot can't see real talent from the comment of his you quoted?

Lever is a gun but I'd much rather keep the McDonald's and Frost, and use that salary cap and trade options for a classy midfielder.

All well and good Clint, but what if no classy mid wants to come to us this year?

Take them while you can get them.

Aside from Kelly who will most likely end up at Carlton or stay at GWS, who else would you target? Lever is a star and more importantly a leader. If a player of his calibre wants to come to the club, you get it done

Spoke to someone from Carlton yesterday and they thought Kelly would stay at GWS

Surely then GWS would have to push out someone else to make room. Hopper has signed on. Dev Smith is OOC. Others have mentioned Whitfield. Is Kennedy any good? Please god not $culldog. 

Will be an interesting finals series for them.

Devon Smith is

Devon Smith is basically gone....his issue is more of around midfield time rather than coin.  If Kelly stays you can take it to the bank that Smith will go

I've already received the 2018 calendar with him on the cover in the mail. What could possibly go wrong?

I know he was simply asked the question and answered honestly, but I liked it much better when under Roos we stfu about potential trades and talked only when they were done. Of course the media now paints it that we expect Lever to saunter over to us.

It's not hard to either shut up or play dumb and not give away stupid headlines.

FMD! Is there a worse club at premature expectation than the MFC?

Yep.  And if he doesn't we look a bit silly.

Speaking of which...  my little finals tickets booklet arrived on Friday...

Surely we'd have to look at getting a three way trade done with the crows and blues 

although the blues are known to greatly overrate their own players. This is evident with SOS cleaning out all his picks from the giants 

My complicated attempt would be 

we send sam frost and our second rounder ( 28) to the crows for their first rounder (16-18) 

we send (16-18) and 2018 second round pick for Bryce Gibbs. 

Bryce Gibbs goes to Adelaide in exchange for jake lever 

jake lever comes to us. 

 

Crows get Gibbs, frost and a second rounder for a first rounder and lever 

we get lever for frost and 2 second rounders 

blues get a first and a second rounder for Gibbs 

 

we get jake lever into the club and retain our pick number 10 and 2018 pick

I think we do too well out of this, and the Crows get stooged somewhat

I actually think they do pretty well considering.

Too much for Gibbs, he's turning 30 next year.

So is Nathan jones and we'd want more than a first rounder for him if he requested a trade 

[Roger Mellie 4,205]

Frost to Dogs for a 2nd rounder.

Melb's first and (either our or the Dog's) 2nd rounder to Adelaide for Lever
