    He was a Restricted Free Agent and Adelaide said they’d match the Cats offer which forced Cats to trade picks. 

    Lever is actually easier because as an in contracted player he can just walk and Crows can’t stop him. He can use Luke Ball trick. Put a ridiculous price on his head and say he’ll only take one year at any other Club and then go in the draft again. No Club would touch him and he goes to Dees and Crows get nothing. He goes to us and then negotiates a 5 year deal or whatever and the first year price is absorbed into the contract. Ultimately that is why Crows will have to be reasonable. Im sure I t won’t get to that. Also sure Lever won’t want to leave that way unless absolutely forced. 

    Sure, except the AFLs trade integrity guy has to sign off on any player movements as being fair and reasonable, which that isn't. He's knocked back deals before.

    If Adelaide won't budge on 2 first rounders there is a solution if Richmond are interested. We could swap our top 3 picks 10, 27 & 45  (draft value 2445 pts) for Richmonds 15, 17 & 53 (draft value 2370 pts). We give the 2 first rounders to Adelaide and keep the slightly downgraded 3rd rounder. Richmond end up in the top 10 of draft and better trade value overall.

    Thoughts?

    If we give up two 1st round draft picks for Lever, I'd be [censored], I'll renew my membership still, but the club would be pushing my limits. ?

    You must be a patient person if only now they are pushing ur limits now.

    Lever is believed to have informed the Crows of his wish on Tuesday and is certain to nominate Melbourne as his preferred destination.

    Apparently they released this statement now because they didn't want everyone to hear it first from Lever's mouth. Imagine if you tune into Adelaide 7 news and hear him say i wanna go to the Dee's

    ADELAIDE defender Jake Lever has requested a trade to a Victorian club. 

    Crows head of football Brett Burton said the club was extremely disappointed in Lever's decision and would consider all its options.

    Lever has reportedly told Channel Seven that he wants to join Melbourne, confirming months of speculation.

    Lever deal at Melbourne said to be worth at least $800,000 a season. Some adamant it's for $850,000 a season

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
