Jake Lever will be playing for Melbourne next year

Might be imagining things, but I seem to recall you having good mail in the past as well, Roost.

Someone tell me I'm right.

    All Adelaide media outlets are reporting that he is gone which means its actually happening. Where he ends up is another question.

    I have heard from a couple of long term crows members that the crows were shocked by how big our offer is, they knew pretty quickly they wouldn't be able to match it.

    A good offer, for a good player, by a good Club. That isn't Colliwobbles.....

    Sounds like you need an electrification. If you can't afford one let me know, I can help you out.

    Gotta wonder if Collingwood regret bringing in Wells and Mayne on $500,000+ multi-year contracts?

    With Pendlebury earnings potential near the end Collingwood would throw 'Marquis Player' type incentives into the deal.

    Lever has a spot on an Adelaide radio show - Eddie can offer him that and offer him TV spots as well.  They would all be legit 3rd party deals.  If young Jake still wants a public profile then that deal would be hard to beat.

     

    On a side note, last week I thought we might be outbid by another Vic club.  Yesterday  @Abe  said the Crows were surprised at the $ we offered Lever.  If he is coming to us for the big $ then Lever can be 'bought'.  North, Coll, StK all have the potential to outbid us with $ to Lever and a trade package to Crows. 

    We are better placed to progress than those clubs so there is every reason for him to chose us.  But clearly there are other factors in his decision. 

    I just hope we don't pay significant overs - we aren't a destination club if we have to do that.

    There is enough noise around to say that Lever is 'playing the trading game' so I'll wait for the announcement with him in a Dees jumper before believing he will be one of us.

    You make some valid points, how ever there is also one thing that has come into play and not that long ago, and that is Buckley's foot and mouth, he did not do any favours to both him self or his club by public humiliating one of his players, and what made it even worse Mayne's father not liking what he had to say as well. It could not have come at the wrong time of the year as well when the trade and draft periods are just about to start as well. Even one reporter said it might be best to keep Buckley a way from public speaking gigs over the next few weeks.

    So if Lever is only wanting money and wanting to put up with Eddie/Buckley and not playing finals for quite a while then go right a head. I know if my son was wanting to come back to Victoria and he had the option of choosing where to play i would be saying to him no money is worth playing under Eddie and Buckley circus.

    I didn't mean to say he 'only wants money' more that he may be 'bought' (ie attracted) by the best package - he has said:  “It is not just about team success. And it is not just about money. It’s not just about your family. It is a combination of three or four things...“For me, when I make my decision, it is going to be about a whole range of things I need to think about.”

    So in addition to 'team success', 'money' and 'family' what are the other things. He is touted as a future Crows captain, so lets add 'club captain.  He has a guest spot on Adelaide radio so perhaps 'public profile' can be added especially if future career ambitions are media related.  And Premiership medal would certainly be on his list. 

    If he wants finals he should stay with Adelaide.  If he wants money any number of Vic clubs can give him that.  A number of clubs can offer him captaincy (Carlton, Hawks, Pies, StK).  Fewer clubs can offer him a public profile.

    I really hope we get him but I 'm trying not to get my hopes until the deal is done as he wouldn't be the first player in recent years (think Clarke, Tippett, Buddy) to do a list minute about face to a verbal deal, which at best is all mfc have right now.

    I'm shattered now, just read the Crows club board on big footy and someone posted that Lever was showing off his new toy on twitter.

    A coffee machine.

    Big commitment, can't see him coming now.

    Obviously going into partnership with Max.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
