Hunt and Hibbs will run riot, perfect.

    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. ?

    Males the club has been pushing my limits for years now!

    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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
