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.

If reports are believed, they began to turn on each other at half time. This team had a pre game segment about how open they're to each other and how no team is as close. [censored] joke, you stick by your teammates to the end.

The recently retired former Demon and Crow Scott Thompson would like to say "hello" to everybody.

I already posted that WJ, but good to see we think alike.

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

I actually reckon he will play more of a traditional full forward, leading out of the goal square, using his strong marking ability. Hogan to play the Watts role further up the ground. Realistically they could both play each role at various times though, particularly given both have a good tank.

Ignore all the $amounts being bandied about MFC have adopted the Geelong model on pay

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the Geelong model?

I know one bloke that will be terrified, a big full forward that has a player that can hit him lace out going to a bloke that can't hit a target except if he is kicking a goal

I thought the Geelong model was no one earns more than the Captain??

2 x A grade midfielders.

Hope everybody else plays a role on the day.

 

Jed sounded pretty reasonable.... from our side anyway. But I can imagine the day when a hogan or petracca or Oliver walks and we will all be wanting overs. Its the way the game is evolving isnt it.

I do Feel [censored] off that Jake was attacked by Burton and Walker tho. Unfortunately all that does, in this day and age, is make Adelaide a less attractive destination for interstate players and turn them into utter hyprocrits the next time someone comes their way. Hoping none of it impacts Jake too badly and he's welcomed into our team , as it seems like he's been super upfront about things w everyone. 

I would be horrified if the Melbourne footy club handled a situation like this with as little class and as much bitterness as the crows have. 

I view it as being extremely unprofessional. You’d have to think Bryce Gibbs would think twice about going there if this is how they treat their players.

I'd advise you not to look in the Jack Watts thread....

With Lever choosing Melbourne as his destination Club, the rolling effect this (in my opinion) will have on us as a really strong choice is stark. The last two Premiership Teams had outstanding performers in their teams on the Day that were acquired the same year.

If the Cat model is basically about equality or not these movements are really working for us now.

Surely there is a conflict of interest in poaching his current clients to his new club.

He won't be involved in anything at Collingwood until after this trade period. Guy has already said Lever is at the MFC. Not too much to worry about.

And he said top ten draft picks should stay 4 years minimum, to avert the Lever drama.

Lever was pick 14 Derwayne.

Crows fans have already started with the old "he's not even that good anyway".

Sorry, he is.
