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.

    Which week were they told by his Manager that he was gone?

    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

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
