Gavin 7 hours ago
Lever is exactly what Melbourne need. Another easily physically intimidated player who fails to stand up in big games.

I hate Gavin.

We all have a Gavin in our lives, don't we?

The deal mooted on the AFL site would be fine by me - our first rounder this year and next for Lever and a late first round, very early second round pick.  I think that's pretty fair to be honest.

Agreed, if that deal gets done it's Lever for pick 10 and an approx 5-8 spot downgrade. Sign the bloody papers.

I think you'll find, big mouth, that you need to read it again:  

"There is hope the deal can be ticked off in the next two or three days, with the Demons sending two first-round picks to the Crows (pick No.10 this year and next year's first-round selection)

The mooted deal would see Adelaide send a late first-round or early second-round pick back to the Demons."

I await your apology.

Read it again Wiseblood.

You either need to put your glasses on or get some sleep.

You sound tired...

Ummm, you asked Wiseblood to read the AFL site. He did and quoted from it. Now you're quoting the SEN site. I'm guessing the final deal will be something like either of these scenarios but more likely something in the middle.

He's reading from the AFL site so you're not even comparing the same articles.

Everybody relax...

Haha... I am going to bed. Have a good sleep Wiseblood.

SEN and AFL website have differing reports.

Thanks Beetle...

* I will say this though. I think SEN is reporting it correcto mondo and the AFL is not... Cactus report! lol

What do you mean? As Wiseblood was saying we are not giving up Pick 27 in this scenario. The articles quotes:

" The Demons are looking at parting with two first-round draft picks – this year's and next year's – and receive Lever and draft picks back from Adelaide." We get Pick 18/19 assuming Cameron goes to Brisbane.

We basically drop 8 spots in this draft and potentially gain a 2nd rounder for Watts and 27. Its not all bad.

Yeah I understand now. Wiseblood was reading from the AFL site. I am reading from the SEN site that states we lose our Pick 27 aswell.

No big deal... We are both correct. Conflicting reports. I am sure it will be clarified tomorrow.

I think we should do what we always do. Believe the source that has the information we want to hear. Go afl.com!

I keep waiting for confirmation of what's happening with Leaver, but with the Free Agency period not closing until Sunday, maybe we have to wait to next week when it's confirmed Brisvegas actually have pick 19 to trade.

Take it for what it's worth, but Jon Ralph is reporting in the HUN this morning that the Lever deal could be done by Friday afternoon.

It would see us give up this years and next years first round picks for Lever and the pick Adelaide get for Charlie Cameron (which will most likely be #18.)

If we can get that deal over the line then I think we've done very, very well.  We will nab Lever and, if Watts still goes for a second round pick, we will have three of them to play with in the draft.  That's not too shabby if you ask me.

While Jon Ralph has reported it, it won’t be enough for Adelaide. 

hey won’t feel like they got anything for Cameron if they on trade his pick straight away. 

For them, it’s lever and Cameron for picks 10 and a future first rounder. 

No steak knives in that for them. 

That’s the risk with getting 2018 1st rounder no one knows what it is, what if we absolutely got smashed with injuries and finished bottom 4, Adelaide would be laughing, so the steak knives are Adelaide hoping we do a Melbourne and royaly screw up next year

Two first rounders IMO is too much. Pic 10 and 27 is enough imo. 

Melb should stick to its guns and not bend over for the cows.  

FFS he is OOC. 

But being melb I have no doubt we will accommodate the cows.

Its not about being Melbourne or weak. It's about getting the deal done and being able to move onto other deals, rather than getting bogged down and missing out on those deals.

Who are the 'cows'?

We're still getting a further pick back inside the top 20 with the deal that Jon Ralph and the AFL site mentioned, so to me it isn't all that bad.

That pic we r getting bac is for this yr. I don’t c why we need to give them 2 first rounders. We should keep our first rounder for next season.

Speak English.

And while you might not want it to happen, we are going to give up those 2 first rounders for Lever and Pick 18.  It's as simple as that.

Next year will never arrive for many MFC supporters - they dont have the patience. Strategy was always to bring forward a pick into this years equation.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
