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.

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.

Melbourne reportedly getting the job done. Crows returning to earth !!


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.

Edited by faultydet

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: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • 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?
