Anyone who thinks that B&Fs are influenced by nothing more than player performance are fools. Adelaide have stupidly reduced his trade value in the name of revenge. Dumb footy!

    Pick 10 or nadda. Hardball.

    Overs according to their own last two B&Fs. 

    Can't have your cake and eat it too.

    A Team with Sloane, Tex, Crouch, Betts playing for peanuts while in their premiership window, upset that a young player that will reach his peak in 4 years won't help them deliver more premierships in the future on a peanut pay packet. I feel so much sympathy for them.

    Peanuts hey. No wonder they lost the Grand Final, they must be all monkeys. 

    They say, you get what you pay for.

    All of those players were better than him this season.

    I'm not sure what the final top 10 is, but here it is with one game to go.

    He made the AA squad, but not top 10 in their B&F.  Hmmm

    I've said it multiple times, he should not have been in AA squad based on output. 

    A 1st and 2nd is a very generous offer and should be taken off the table if Adelaide don't accept it on the opening day.

    Adelaide should be happy with pick 10 only then.

    Agreed pick 10 is fair

    He didn’t make the AA squad, only the 40 man shortlist.

    AA squad refers to the 40man short-list before its culled to make the AA team.

    Something is not right here. I smell a rat. Don't forget Jack Gunston won the best young Player several years ago at Adelaide & because he requested a trade back home they stripped that award off him. How come Jake Lever was told not to attend yet Charlie Cameron was there & he has requested a trade aswell yet he is contracted. Not sure what to make of all of this

  • Quote

    Just doing some rough math with Jake Lever's 750k a year contract. It's 6.02% of the salary cap. If we gave them two first round picks and they developed into decent players then they're going to be on 450-550 per year within a few years which is 8.50% of the cap. Whereas #10 and #27 are going to net you a 450-500k a year player and an average to slightly above average players wage at 371k which is going to be around 6.66% of the salary cap. Closer to the mark.

     

    Are we paying for his potential? If so then he's going to want 900k a year if he truelly becomes elite. Then that's about 7.23% of the cap. So that would mean Melbourne could possible do a pick swap or upgrade that pick 27 to a pick 22 or so to get the deal done. Two first round picks is still too much.

    Didn't they recruit Matt Crouch with the pick we gave them for Bernie?

    They should thank us.

    Pick 45 should get it done.

    Yeah, he slid quite a long way from where he was expected to drafted if I remember correctly

    You have to love Demonland.

    Lever fails to poll in the top 10 at the crows B&F. There are two contradictory responses:

    1. It is clear evidence that the crows must have rigged the voting (out of spite? - must be because it makes little sense to deliberately under value him if you know you are going to negotiate draft picks ) because as we all know Lever is one of their best players, an AA no less (yes, yes, i know) who has had the best season ever for any young defender - better than Rance at the same age!
    2. Are the crows crazy asking for two first rounders? 

    My response:

    1. I'm going to love watching the live stream of the bluey on Monday and watch Tmac's younger brother come top 10

    We shouldn't wait on Adelaide drawing this out until the 11th hour of trade period to get this deal done.

    Mahoney to come out and publicly say that we'll open to trades with other clubs with 10 and or 27 and pick Jake out of the PSD.

    What about this scenario:

    We pull our offer and only offer pick 10 based on BF performance. Crows chuck the sads. JL announces he is going into the draft a la Luke Ball and will only play for the Dees, otherwise will sit out the season. No other side will take the risk and he comes to us at 10 either way.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
