. Aaron Francis has requested a trade back to Adelaide (the city), and he's still under contract. Surely the righteous AFC wouldn't dare trade for a player of such moral standing. Francis has only been at Essendon 2 years.

I did predict this and wonder if as I predicted, we could become involved in the dea,l to help get the Lever deal across the line.

    Phil Walsh must be turning in his grave with how this club has become so immature and weak.

    What The Adelaide Crows Should Demand For Jake Lever

    The Adelaide Crows should settle for nothing less than the number one draft pick in this year’s draft for departing star Jake Lever, says Leigh Matthews.

    “He’s a proven player at 21,” Matthews told 3AW.

    “If pick 1 this year ends up being like Jake Lever, you’d be pretty happy.

    “I can’t work it out… The draft is a raffle.”

    Very interesting indeed

    The media are paid to speculate - and to create controversy and click bait.  At the end of the day, our FD isn’t sitting there saying “wow!  We got that so wrong!  Because Weaful Wee said he is worth a first rounder, we need to change our thinking”.  Ignore the idiots, ignore the chaff.

    How are we supposed to get pick #1? It's just daft. Leigh is clearly past it.

    If Adelaide spend as much time analyzing why they lost the GF as to why some players are leaving they will be a far better place next year......

    After reading the big footy for narrow minded imbeciles board about Lever, Adelaide have become my new most hated club in the League.

    What a disgraceful way to treat an ex-player who has every right to leave after fulfilling his contract.

    What have they got in store for Charlie Cameron?

    Probably won't agree to a trade. 

    Also most hated for me now.

    Play Viney and Jones off a HBF, Jetta, Hibberd and Melksham back. They won't touch him

    The best I’ve read from Adelaide supporters is that BT is family friends with the Levers and he talked up Jake all year to boost his value, he’s apparently not as good as what we all think. It’s all becoming quite comedic.

    Cameron is going (to the B&F) apparently, despite being contracted and wanting to leave, all is well there...?

    If the players we had stood up when needed, we wouldn’t have to spend so much on one player to fill a gap. 

    Nixons just doing what he does best, stirring the pot.

    pick 10 and 27 and no more.  We can cover Lever with Frosty if the worst happens. However l hope its a done  deal by then.

    Yup.

    And if anyone at the club is whining about Lever being paid so much it tells me our culture problems are money related - players care more about their salaries than the club, and are more concerned about what other players are making than earning their own paypacket and working their asses off.

    Will be very interesting to see if Adelaide will take a 1st and 2nd Round pick from the same draft - for Lever.

    I can 100% tell you that jakes offer does not make him the highest paid player at the club. Jesse hogan is our highest paid player, Nathan jones not far behind both ahead of our offer for lever.

    Hogan on $500,000 from memory?

    Far less than what he was being offered at other clubs... and he’s absolutely worth that

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
