    It was said at the time of the 2014 AFL National Draft that Melbourne was heavily into getting Lever who would have been rated even more highly but was coming back from an ACL injury. The word was that the club offered up Jack Trengove for a trade with Richmond just so that we could get in a position draft Lever (as it turned out the Tigers' pick would have been insufficient).

    It would be nice to get him to the club but can we do it?

     

    I hope but....... going- ons don't look good at the minute between us and the crows. there is a stand off.

    Of course there is, it's called negotiating. Trade week hasn't even started.

    Let's hope this is resolved by the end of next week. Not happy with Collingwood throwing a spanner in, they were never truly into him, just forcing Melbournes hand...

    some very odd decisions about playing on.  Both sides really. The advantage rule ( muffed, fluffed and stuffed ) !!

    All in all  some bizarre decisions ( or non decisions ).  Had a whole season to get used to it though.

    A couple of times our lad Jake was  somewhat non-plussed  about the vagaries of what was happening. Just when he thought they wouldnt blow a whistle for zigging...they would...when they had for zagging  and had a Toiges infringe he wasnt given a zac. A couple of times you could read his lips !! What the F ??? 

    The whole 'holding ' thing is very ambiguous 

    Richmond was heavily favoured on Saturday. The pregame instructions given to Richmond were not the same, in my opinion, as to what were given to Adelaide and this would more than explain their confusion. The Umpire's Rep and current GWS bloke Wayne Campbell, did i see him in celebrating Tigers victory before game finished?

    The same Wayne Campbell that captained Richmond 2001 to 2004?

    Out of interest, how do you know what instructions were given to the teams...

    IMO, if we get Lever we should convert Hunt to play a defensive wingman role. Blistering pace, average ball use which can always be worked on, reads the ball well but not the greatest one-on-one defender.

    Play our backline (in no particular order): Jetta, Hibberd, Frost, OMac, Lever, and rotate Vince and Lewis through the backline and the midfield.

    Of course this would mean TMac would be playing up forward, which seems more likely to happen

    If that's the case, it's nice for a change that other teams get the no, especially the Pies.

    Yep I thought that'd be the case, think Pies just playing games. They wouldn't have much cap space anyway would they?

    I have some faith in this info.  The HUN tried to drum up some controversy with an article about the Pies scuppering our deal, but it was only based on the idea that they could offer more.  Means nothing if Lever doesn't want to go there, and the above information is consistent with what's been said for a while now.

    You are probably right but it is a smart play by Collingwood as it re-enforces the 2 first round pick argument.

    Draft period is like chess but think three dimensional chess .... you have to look at several angles and ask what is Collingwood's end game.

    So essentially we pass on picks 10, 14, 27 and Watts for Lever and Pick 35.  Seems a little steep if you ask me.

    It depends on where you value the 2018 pick. I personally would prefer to trade 10/2018 pick and then do the same trade to get back into this years first round with watts

    No. Take out the pick 14. We give up 10, 27 and Watts for Lever and 35.

    Still too much imo, 10 and 27 should be plenty

    Two first rounders is too steep, and I'll be a little disappointed if we cough that up.

    I still think our first round pick plus a possible pick swap in the later rounds will end up being the deal.

    I'd take out the Pick 14 as well, although what I'd like to do is trade Watts to the Swans for their second rounder (even though it's later than the Powers) and then stick that with our first round pick to make the deal for Lever.  We keep next years picks and still hold one in the second round this year.

    Others will be right to argue Pick 31 is too low for Watts, and they may be right, but I don't see the Swans giving up their first round pick (even though I'd like them to).

    Sounds pretty fair all round to me.

    Lever's a gun.

    If the Swans feel hard done by then they get back pick 34 (35).

    Its pretty easy. pick 10 and 27, take it or leave it. 

    if we don't get Lever, so be it. We pocket the draft picks and enjoy Jason Taylor nail another top 10 pick!

    It started when you heard that he was coming to the Dees. The Crows knowing of course initiated some talk with Melbourne weeks ago.Now they are at a stand off.

    Do you think that they will wait for the starting line????????? Der.........

    • 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?
