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.

what's the hurry? we made a generous offer. we stick to our guns or it's the nd

    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. 

    And if you read my post you’d understand that was not my implication. Simply that it would be a deal involving those picks. And that we were going to ask the question. 

    If you’re going to attack someone’s posts it’s best to know what you’re talking about.

    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.

    The deal would involve those picks but it would not be a straight swap. Its just something we will discuss in order to get picks capable of getting the deal dine

    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. 

    With all due respect you wrote. No mention of other picks - none at all. It was not till after you mentioned the other picks.

    Just for the record both clubs had a very cordial fishing trip today.

    “ an exchange involving their two late first round picks and our pick number 10” vs an exchange of their two first round picks and pick number 10. 

     

    Not that it matters, we all just want the deal done

    Agreed. From Walker to Burton and probably many more around those two. They force a 21 yr old to declare his intentions 4 weeks out from the finals so they could up an offer to Mcgovern. He takes care of the club with his honesty when he could have easily stayed mum.... and they  shame the [censored] out of him, then bag him in the press. Im not saying any club would be happy to lose a quality young player ( we wouldnt either ) but the way they have handled themselves sends out a very reflective message about the club I reckon. No wonder everyone wants to leave!

    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

    Pick 7 seems always to be the one to have.

    I'd say he's referring to the word 'involving'. I.e. involving said picks doesn't mean limited to said picks.

    Melbourne should play hardball.  Crows have treated Lever like siht.  We should re-arrange contracts so we can front-end him a whopping amount that other clubs cannot match in 2018.  Let him go to draft.

    One thing better than Lever?

    Lever and 10 and 27.  Worth the risk in my book.

     

     

     

    That is my take.  I aint KB.

    We don't want to play games on this one. Hold firm re a first and second round pick and negotiate a swap of late picks and deal will be done. We have a good reputation for being fair and transparent during trade period and if we muck around it could backfire.

    First class, nice work Snake, could have taken a little less cash so the club hired something better than the acoustic duo we had to put up with during the B&F.

    Trade Radio played audio of Tex Walker teeing off on Lever on Triple M Adelaide. Did not hold any punches. Said he has chosen "money over success".

    Had some respect for Adelaide as a club but they are not handling this situation with much dignity,

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
