    Agreed pick 10 is fair

    Always was....and change possibly.( Swap of picks )

    10 AND 27 is bloody generous.

    Adelaide, gone from Grange grandeur to Goon grumps.

    More than fair for a bloke that didn't figure in their top ten in their B&F!

    Did Lever get any votes in the cows B&F or did they delete his name from the count???

    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.

    That would be draft tampering. The rules have toughened up on this. More than likely Lever and MFC would be heavily penalised

    When Lever said - 'I will go into the draft' - we gained leverage. When we found out about how the Crows acted when meeting with Mahoney and Viney we gained leverage, with him being disinvited from the B+F we gained leverage (perception in press only - makes it harder for them to stonewall), and when he polled outside the top 10 we gained leverage.

    ND10 and ND45 or a pick swap in the second round. 

    We acted in good faith with offering a fair trade and their petulance should not be rewarded.

    Pity we already showed our hand and said we will offer 10 and 27. Overs in my opinion

    As rpfc has mentioned above, our deal can and should now be altered due to the circumstances that have played out since Jake nominated us.

    Fug 'em.

    Difficult to do when you've already shown you are willing to offer two picks. Easy to do if you'd only offered pick 10 for example. 

    Basic negioation tactics

    I'd now say, we have thought about this, it's now P10 or he goes to the draft. Stop F-ing us around, we mean business.

    After seeing this, who would want to play for or stay at Adelaide? I genuinely hope this little display costs them Rory Sloane next year

    I'd rather be a club of our word. We offered it so we should stick with it. We don't want to stoop to Adelaide's level. All the clubs are watching it too

    I think you're making it basic mate.

    We're getting fugged about by the Crows and the player who wants to come to our club is being treated like he was some type of cancer.

    They're changing the goal posts so we should too.

    No but it might to their sponsors, influential financial members and Board.

    At the start we were the bad boys for taking the young future star, but it has turned and the media is now lambasting the Crows for their petulance and arrogance and that hurts the brand.

    We have made the offer, we now say we might be able to help you get Francis or another player, for part of the same deal, otherwise the offer remains and won't be increased. 

    The Crows refusal of that offer, given the last few days Crows' behaviour and his non appearance in the top 10 of the B& F will make Lever's price drop and make the Crows look like a non destination club to other players and managers.

    I don't disagree with any of that but it does not alter the fact their supporters will be cheering from the sidelines. I hate this mob with rare intensity.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
