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.

Pick 10 and change, and defend the kid to the hilt with these mercenary charges.

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.......

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
