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

    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.......

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
