. 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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
