. 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.

I had a lot of respect for Leigh Matthews before I read this:

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.

Don't worry we have Jack Viney!

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.

Before his extension. Now about 850k

$850,000!!!??? That's ludicrous!

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

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
