The difference might also be because Goodwin coached them and had input into recruiting.

    Charlie Cameron leaving the Crows too.

    Brett Burton is probably crying in a corner somewhere.

    Or punching holes in the walls. If you bite the hand that feeds you, so to speak. Treating players like trash does has it down falls.

    He's contracted, Burton will want 4 first round picks

    Whether it be Cameron Mooney, Leigh Matthews, or Dwayne Russell, many in the media are complaining about Jake Lever's decision to leave the Crows after just 3 years.

    I won't bother mentioning Scott Thompson, and I recognise there are some differences with his move, but what about Josh Caddy leaving the Suns after just two years ?  He was pick 7 in the 2010 draft and wanted out after his two year contract was up.

    Not a word in the media.

    I know there will be other examples, but it appears there's selective outrage in the AFL industry.

    I don't understand. If Lever is out of contract, why do we have to give the Crows anything at all for him?

    Because otherwise he goes into the draft and clubs don't like screwing over other clubs generally.

    And let’s be real, it won’t be two first rounders. They deal will get done

    Agree with that. I also noticed the media outrage, yet plenty of others as you mentioned seem to go through easily.

    I just feel that some clubs are not strong against the treatment they receive and hence it continues.

    I don't recall media outrage against Treloar, Adams or Boyd leaving GWS.

    For that matter I don't recall any media outrage against number 9 of the Giants leaving us after 2 years and in effect signing to leave after 1 year.

    Interesting, quality ready mades preferred to the TAC under 18  lottery. Hawthorn been on to it for years and overlaid the family club salary rubbish as well.

    Unless the initial kids draft period is extended to 4/5 years could be heaps of fun for those Victorian clubs who truly bottom out. 

    Maybe a boom and bust cycle after a period.

    Expect pay disparity between top players and lesser light minnows to widen now that the trade thing really opens up.

    Of course there is. Those three are pathetic.

    Where was the moral  outrage on Scully multiplied a thousand times for the lies to Jimmy ?

    I didn't include Scully, because there were exemptions when GWS and Gold Coast entered the competition.

    Adelaide lost Davis, Footscray Ward, us the Rodent.

    So different circumstances, even if just as galling from a MFC point of view.

    False charges by a bitter Adelaide Crows franchise.

    Do they not realise he is from Vic?  Scott Thompson is a mercenary too then.

    I don't recall any outrage when Mooney left North and Dwayne left Port Adelaide for that matter. And Matthews was just hated by every other Team anyway.......

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
