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???

    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.

    We should try first.

    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 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

    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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
