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.

    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.......

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
