    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!

    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: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
