I put a post on Facebook of 4 x $750,000 for Jake and his dad liked my post so near enough for me. What is that pre CBA? $550,000? Fair and reasonable if you ask me

not quite

550K x 1.2 = 660k not 750k

750K / 1.2 = 625k pre cba

 

 

 

As a side note, something else Mahoney said (which we probably already know but I haven't heard it from myself from the club) is that Lever would help form part of a strong backline with Jetta, Hibberd, Hunt, Frost & OMac.

Didn't mention TMac, which I think signals quite clearly their intentions for him next season.

TMac will surely play the Watts role, which both terrifies and excites me.

Thanks DC, much appreciated.


Melb making big play for pick 2 from GCS by using pick 10 and Watts and exchanging other picks. Back up for Lever going to draft.

Now I'm not sure if this is still the case, but didn't Luke Ball go into the draft and said he would not go to any other club except the pies? All the other clubs left him slip straight into the pies laps.

Unsure, it was messaged to me, apparently on Twitter.

We have had some honest dealings with GCS before so that isn't beyond imaginings.  They were in the pick trades that helped us get Weideman and Oliver.

That is a nice rumour to spread.

Keeps Adelaide on their toes: Crows take 10 and 27 or get zip.

Poker anyone...


God I hate Dwayne Russel. I know it's a strong word, but I just straight up hate him.

this is hilarious!   Adelaide behaving like children.

I really am still in shock that we are a destination club. the fact that he hasnt considered Hawks/cats/pies etc...

Go Dees!   bring on the game against the crows next year!

Get excited, it means he won't kick out from FB to other sides, gifting them goals.

Did he mention if the offer was for four or five years? I'm sure Lever himself said it was four but since then I've heard five being reported. 

No mention of duration.

4 Years at $750-800 is what was mentioned on Fox Sports News.


Just imagine if clubs decided to not be dicks about trading players. It's not like this is the first or last time a player is going to request to leave Adelaide. If you build a good relationship with different clubs, you could 1 day be getting a player who wants to come to you for unders. Even though i loved Howe and Frawley, they wanted to leave and i was happy to let them. At the end of the day the Football club will still be standing and we got to see Jayden Hunt and other young talented player come into the side because of it.

I don't understand Adelaide's gameplan here... the best thing that can possibly happen for them is if Lever says he's willing to possibly consider a different Victorian club to get his old club a better deal.  Any chance of any good faith from the Lever camp is now shot to hell by the aggressive attitude of every official and players who comments have been made public.

If they ever wonder why quality players are leaving their club, look to their attitudes and player relationships.

In terms of the threat of Lever going into the draft, lets not forget that Nth hold pick 3, and have stupid amounts of money that they were using to try and get Martin and Kelly. They are not a destination club, but they can certainly match our financial offer to Lever if the draft is the way it heads...

I think the fact we are looking at maybe getting pick 2 from GC is going to make them [censored] themselves. They'll bend on pick 10 and 27 or let him go for free and try hold the high ground.

Lever did say he only wants Melbourne. Now i understand it's not set in stone, but if he really wants us, refusing to play for another club and waiting to get picked up by us is a quick way to make yourself welcome to your new clubs fans.

Jade Rawlings, Nick Stevens, Luke Ball (.... almost)

Lever can say he wants Melbourne all he likes, until the point that it breaks down and he heads to the draft. If it falls through and he goes to the draft, other clubs only have to match his asking price. Nth Melbourne and the Saints would be able to easily cover Levers asking price. Saints don't need his type, so might be fine, but Nth need to plug a huge number of holes everywhere on their list. Collingwood would not be too far off getting him and have a pick too and a need for his type as well.

Going to the draft is a very big risk for Lever and the MFC and Adelaide get nothing. Doesn't work for any party!

 

WOW!  No way Lever would stay at Crows after that.

Not happy campers going into the GF. 

That mood may have contributed to the reported infighting during the second quarter and their lack of effort.

Shame the team didn't play as well as Lever did - they might have a Premiership Cup.

I agree given Lever has decided on the Dees they have no other choice but to work out a trade with us.

It seems that Adelaide's past history of losing players is really pissing them off and now are "using" Lever in making a statement about other players thinking of leaving in the future.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • 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?
