Ted Lasso 19,586 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 The thing is, if he digs his heels in again over lever and forces him into the draft, they’d be passing up a good deal no reason. Sorry brett but if danger is worth 9 and 28 10 and 27 is more than fair for lever. You set the bar. 12 Quote

Bang Bang Bang 5,875 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Every single year this happens. I remember the Gold Coast guy saying the exact same thing re. O'Meara. Brisbane were super strong re. Aish. Both ended up at their club of choice. You also need to factor in emotion, how would YOU be feeling if Petracca requested a trade to Collingwood three days after losing a GF we should have won? Yeah, I thought so. Burton will calm down and soon realise we're good and fair to deal with. We paid Essendon slight overs (at the time) for Melksham and they were good enough to return the favour with Hibberd for slight unders the following year. Playing hardball gets you nowhere. Lever is just about worth two first rounders outside the top 10. He's a very good player, although I question his selection in the AA squad. He's also injury prone. But draft picks are overrated, if it ends up being 10 and 20 or something for Lever then I won't be losing any sleep over it. 1 Quote

If we could trade pick 10 and somehow end up with, say, two picks in the 16-18 range, then fair deal. But if we throw in 10 and another first-round pick, it's major overs. If it's pick 10 then a pick in the early-mid 20s will get it done. And if Adelaide baulk at that, then we can point to Dangerfield, Eddie, and Scottie Thompson. Quote
Dee Zephyr 19,311 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 That was the best interview BT has done, to hear Lever say it feels sooooooo good. 1 Quote

Lucifers Hero 40,716 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 He sounds a compassionate and thoughtful young man. He genuinely looked happy when talking of joining the Dees. Will be a terrific asset for us on and off the field. Should also go well with sponsors - quite articulate. 7 Quote

What 18,810 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 A big summer woking on his 1 on 1 defending is what is needed for Lever. Hogan will be a great training partner in that regard. Will he be the next Rance/G Jakovich, or will he just be a better version of Jared Rivers? Quote
