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

    That's how I read it Demons11. I think both clubs agreed to try and take the spotlight off their clubs by making mother hood statements

    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,

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
