$4 million over 4 years seems way too high for him. Didn't Lewis give a speech earlier in the year that the players should be willing to play for less money to get more, best 22 players in, in order to win a flag?

If the MFC have offered Lever that much, doesn't that pretty much throw all of that out the window? Thats gonna p*** off a lot of the playing group 

Generally agree, but $1M per season isn't what it use to be and won't be in 3 seasons time at the end of his contract.  Lever waited until the new EBA was out for a good reason.

    It will be much more than that if he is forces to go into the draft.

    He'll put a massive price on his head for years 1 and 2 and then get paid under's for years 3 and 4 when he reaches the MFC

    you contradict your own post D167

     

    Lewis gives a speech saying existing players should accept less, in order to attract more "best 22" players from other clubs, then you wonder if the existing players will be p****ed off, because of the arrival of a new "best 22" player from another club, on good coin?

     

    Rethink, and re-post

    You're missing the point dude.

    There are a number of players currently on the list who are better then Lever on a helluva of a lot of less money, that's what would create animosity within the group.

    Don't get me wrong all, Lever would be a great catch for Melbourne no doubt, and it'd be awesome to see him dominate in our backline.

    Agreed.  Hadn't heard $mill mentioned.  Wouldn't be surprised if Adelaide would throw that around though.  Hell hath no fury as a Crow scorned.

    Thats not the point at all.

    Lewis tells players to accept LESS, in order to attract outside players who will be best 22

    Then you suggest players will be ANGRY, if said new best 22 player takes the money Lewis has been telling them to sacrifice.

     

    makes Zero sense at all.

     

    We have no defender who is better than Lever at what he does. None. So why the concern?

    Coz I can tell you for a fact that the players would definitely be pretty angry about.

    I heard from the 7 news piece it was 750k a year for 4 years. In 4 years time i bet you another increase in the cap will happen. Also considering some clubs have multiple players on close to 1mil a year, where is all our money?

    And I have no doubt at all that is the case. It's always a huge concern about out of joint noses when attracting new talent.

    But it flies in the face of what Lewis was saying, and that's my point.

    He is good....but no so good that you risk animosity

    Players have to earn the coin, also remember Nathan Jones, Bernie Vince and Lewis are all close to the end, huge cap room available if guys like Oliver and Petracca earn it. It's also one of those things in which you hope they buy in to the product, not the coin. I could see guys like Petracca and Oliver wanting big bucks and being tempted by different clubs. I don't see guys like Hunt or Gawn demanding big money, because i think they're really invested in the club.

    That's what i heard also, and that sounds reasonable to me.

    Adelaide are obviously training to paint it as a financial move to save their own skin, so don't be surprised if they throw some numbers out there.

    Who's on heaps less D that thinks they have more value?

    Lever is being paid on form and potential to drive us to the next step, hopefully the playing group can give it time to see how it works out and not get their noses out of joint.

    Yeah, lets stick with our plan of the past 53 years.  That will work!

    People are speculating the amount anyway.  The bigger the amount, the bigger the reaction. Don't get sucked in.

    All Melbourne media and 7 news reporting 4x 750k But Adelaide 7 news say 4x 1mil I would say Adelaide media pumping it up to get a better deal or to tell the Adelaide members why they wouldn’t match it

    I'd be angry if the club was incompetent and not thinking about the future of the playing group with this deal. However, since Jackson has been incharge i think the club has become rather stable.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
