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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
