. 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.”

    Well the plot thickens. 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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
