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. Quote
McQueen 17,867 Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Phil Walsh must be turning in his grave with how this club has become so immature and weak. Quote
Jibroni 5,057 Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 I had a lot of respect for Leigh Matthews before I read this: https://www.fiveaa.com.au/sport/What-The- Adelaide-Crows-Should-Demand-For-Jake-Lever What The Adelaide Crows Should Demand For Jake Lever Oct 6, 2017 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.” 1 Quote

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. 2 Quote

Willmoy1947 4,261 Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 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...... 2 Quote

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. 1 Quote

deebug 1,754 Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 I hope we get to play them at the G first? Bernie can fix up few as well. Quote
Ethan Tremblay 31,388 Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited October 6, 2017 by Ethan Tremblay Quote

Ethan Tremblay 31,388 Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited October 6, 2017 by Ethan Tremblay 3 Quote

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. 2 Quote
