Yes, I was assuming we win the flag with the 'ish' as a small concession. Did you catch any of the latest season? I don't really want to spoil the ending, and it wasn't a realistic twist, but the Richmond Football ended up as the premiers.

What if  the  heavily tattooed man is the Richmond medals woman?

    I didn't see any tattoos on her - just a premiership medal.

    You want to throw Dustbin under the bus? You not satisfied with the previous hatchet job the media did on the poor kid? Anyway, it wasn't Martin. Judging by the responses on big footy to the latest incident the player wasn't a star player (even though he has been referred to as one in the media).

    Melbourne should pay pick 10 (2017) and our second round (2018) for Lever and no more!

    Why should we be trying creative packaging to obtain another first round pick, when Lever was:

    1) Not in their top 10 B&F; and 

    2) Scored 1 vote in the Brownlow (same as O. Mac)?

    Are you talking about Jake Lever or Jack Watts?

    Kidding ...

    Adelaide are quite rightly saying

    - you've made Lever one of the highest paid 22 year olds in the game

    - we've developed him beautifully

    - you're going to get 200 games out of him

    - your '17 and '18 first round picks aren't particularly special.  10 & 12 are hardly rolled gold top 5 picks.

    Whilst I agree mostly with what you're saying, and wouldn't be particularly fazed if we gave two first rounders with another pick back our way, it's interesting that rockliff on a 4 x 650,000 contract is, reportedly, deemed worthy of an end of round 1 pick only by the afl. Of course there are a heap of variables/differences but interesting nonetheless.

    Did you just compare Lever, a future AA who has already been named in the AA squad to Oscar McDonald who so far has yet to prove he belongs on an AFL field? Yikes!

    Is it possible to be a 'future' All Australian??

    What, do you think we'd get a better player at Pick 16 next year, compared to what we would get at Pick 10 this 2017 draft?

    I don't think so.

    I think talk of "superdrafts" is rubbish, but if it were a "superdraft", surely you'd get good talent well into second-round picks. Otherwise it's not a "superdraft".  ^_^

    If you're in the squad at 21/22 years old then it's fair to assume.

    Adelaide are in no position to negotiate. Either take what Melbourne gives you or the kid walks into the draft and Melbourne get him for free. 

    Trelor was worth 2 first rounders. Lever is no where near trelor. Giving Crows 1st and 2nd round picks imo is still overs.

    So it would also be fair to assume that as Oscar has been a regular player in his second and third year in the AFL system, that he does in fact ‘belong on an AFL field’.

    We'd get him for free?  Or we'd have to use pick 10 in the Draft?

    Treloar was 2 first rounders and a 2nd rounder back.

    However, Collingwood's first rounders were something like 6 and 8?

    Melbourne's are going to be 10 and 12-14 (hopefully).

    Lever is a Key Position Player, harder to find than midfielders.

    Is Lever really worth 2 first round picks, to me that's overs Melbourne should threaten to let him nominate for the daft and put Adelaide under pressure then they get nothing

  • Quote

    Not worth a 4th rounder. Will never be any good!

    *I reserve the right to change this opinion once the deal is completed ?

    This was talked about on SEN yesterday. They said Level is on par if not ahead of Rance when they were at the same age.

    Absolutely has the potential to be a 10 year, A grade defender for us.

    You can do that with so many players over the years though. The truth is, we won't know until Lever has played a similar number of games as Rance in his prime, and a similar age.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?
