Agreed, I know it’s his instinct to stick up for his son but what’s done is done. Adelaide have chosen to act like petulant idiots, let’s move on to the real business.

    I hate the saying first in last out. I hhad a staff member that always left 10 minds or so late and usually early... Did less work than most....

    Did you work with George Costanza?

    Crows really are acting like flogs about this.

    I'm guessing that your new film is an update of the Manchurian Candidate through an MFC lens with Matt Damon playing Jack Watts in the role of 'Queen of Diamonds'. Close?

    We tried to get Damon but could only get Jones. Still, more MFC elements the better as Joe is bankrolling us. ?

    So this Lever bloke. Let's hope we can get him to the club early in the week, in order to land one or two others.

    This is taken directly from the trade radio/afl trade news feed:

    The future is looking brighter for wantaway Adelaide defender Jake Lever, with Melbourne confirming productive talks with the Crows on Monday. 
     
    It's been reported all has not been rosy with Crows after the third-year backman declared he wanted out of his first AFL club to return home to Victoria. 
     
    But, Melbourne football manager Josh Mahoney said talks were "amicable" on Monday, with both parties working to get it done. 
     
    The Crows then confirmed via list manager Justin Reid there had been some "good dialogue" between the parties regarding the 21-year-old's wishes.

    They still want two first rounders, but will speak ‘only to us’ for now (how nice of them...).  These pricks have no idea.  I was hoping this would be done quick so we could get on with other things, but it looks like this one may drag over the two weeks.

    Which is stupid because the Cows could use 10 and 2nd rounder to trade for a nifty mid or maybe draft Gus' bro. Seems dumb to slow the boat to a halt when Lever is pizzed off and has said he will go into the draft

    Agreed. It was hard not to notice this bit ...

    "There are an incredible number of rumours and untruths being thrown around at this point in time, it’s the silly season, we know that happens, but for the fans it’s very difficult to decipher what is real and what’s not, so to clear that up, it was Jake’s decision.”

    She was on the money until the final few words ... non, let me introduce you to sequitur ...

    An update on the lever deal. The crows won’t budge on the two first round picks deal so the club will be having a meeting with Richmond to discuss an exchange involving their two late first round picks and our pick 10. 

    The crows have indicated that those two picks would satisfy the deal if the tigers are willing to trade them. 

    Despite earlier confusion the watts race is still on with Geelong and port slightly leading Sydney and interestingly his chances of staying with us slightly better than they were. Don’t rule that out. 

    We have told the cats pick 20 or no deal if he chooses them. 

    Freo want to look after balic so pick 64 is the best pick we’d have to give up to secure him. 

    Dean kent has been shopped around but has gained very little interest at this early stage.

    We might want to move this to the Trade Rumours thread?

    Hmmm, can you imagine how stupid the Crows would look if the Tigs agreed to swap their 2 x late 1st picks for pick 10, and we kept our second round pick?

     

    Why wouldnt they have their own meeting with the tigers, swap 10, and keep our pick 27 to themselves?

    Strange.

    I appreciate that Mahoney probably wants to be seen as reasonable person to deal with during trade period but the Crows have done themselves no favours in reflecting a value of two first round picks for Lever.

    So i had a look at pick 10's in the last 10 years of national drafts, this is who clubs got:

    Chris Egan
    Marcus Drum
    Nathan Brown
    Dangerfield
    Phil Davis
    Melksham
    Gorringe
    Sumner
    Cockatoo
    Nathan Freeman

    Makes me feel a bit more at ease knowing that only 2 of those players  (Danger and Davis) justified their drat position. So if we have to cough up more, so be it. Lever is a ready made gun for the next 9 years

    This is absolute rubbish.

    No way do the Tigers swap "their two late first round picks and our pick 10." They may have just won a premiership but they are not a charity.

    If they want our 2017 & 18 first round picks, fine. But we want their 2018 first round pick included in the Lever deal.

    Out: 2017 FIRST & SECOND PICK, 2018 FIRST ROUND PICK.

    In: LEVER & ADELAIDE 2018 FIRST ROUND PICK.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
