Crows have short memories. We were happy to trade Scott Thompson to them for just a first round pick when he was desperate to go home. We did it early in trade week too if I remember correctly, and we did it with minimal fuss. 

They would do well to treat Lever the same way.

    They're losing a 21 year old gun, a player already touted as their next captain. I don't think they'll get their two first rounders but calling them greedy for that being their opening position is ridiculous. He was never going to come cheaply and as we all know, draft picks are a gamble.

    What would you be asking for if a 21 year old Jack Viney had said "I want to move to SA"?

    Ok then give them two first rounders.

    We are not known for playing hardball when it comes to trades.  I like that we play fair but many other clubs don't.

    A bit rich of Adelaide to not pay the price for Gibbs last year.  And now dig their heels in when the trade is the other way.  Adelaide are stubborn not as bad as Ess stubborn but getting close.

    With Coll seemingly wanting to offer Adelaide more than us (which I think is just posturing with little intent, if even true) may force our hand to trade more value than we would like.  I guess it may come down to whether we have other trades rely on the Lever being done early.  If not we can wait and see who blinks first.

    Same old story - posturing.

    Adelaide demand 2 first picks and declare they want to deal with Pies (or whoever). Lever's manager insists Melbourne. Deal gets done for first and second picks early if Adelaide need the picks for another trade, or they act like tossers (Essendon style)  and hold out to the last minute of trade week, or AFL 'mediators' step in and tell them the deal's fair and grow TF up.

    PS. Don't usually pay much notice of what Lloydy says but he said this morning that 10 and 27 seemed fair.

    Lol at Collingwood coming late, won’t mean jack if lever nominates us, and Adelaide digging in there heals about 2 firsts is laughable considering how they carried on last trade period

    He maybe a gun but this years and next years first draft picks is way too much for one player, we still need to fill holes in the mid field.

    Do the filth have two first rounders to offer them?

    Not this year - maybe this and next but they don't have a second this year either.

    He will get to the club he nominates. If it's us then great. If not, oh well.

    Viney IS a captain.

    Viney's position is far more front and centre ( literally ) 

    If we were asking for Sloane it would be a different story. We aren't.

    Your analogy is wrong Nasher.

    Even 10 and 27 with no change is a bit steep. Crows are notoriously aholes at trades.

    On what i have seen of lever 1 pick should be enough

    Dees should play hardball

    If lever really wants to come we dont need to pay overs

    I thought 10 would be way then enough for him.

    Lol. Viney is a captain and a father son. Can't compare

    Not in the backline, but I'm guessing we are looking at other players and in active talks with players/managers/clubs.

    Note the rumour came from a Kane Cornes tweet. This year Kane has been incorrect, rude and insulting with his tweets. I still think Lever is worth 1 first round pick only but they sound like the new Essendon

    We have three tall defenders in the McDonald's and Frost (plus Hibberd and Jetta as stalwarts down back) and we are looking at giving up the farm for another?

    Don't get me wrong, Lever is a gun but I'd much rather we go after another midfielder or simply use the draft picks in the draft.

    There should be a rule only one first draft per player, and then it should be a second round if the need be but no player is worth two first round picks.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
