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 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

    • 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?
