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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
