i have absolutely no issues giving 2017 and 2018 first rounder for lever and X, whatever X may be (late 2017 first / early 2017 second, or 2018 second)

the kid is a jet

it makes me think of what paul roos said, which is that the biggest battle with these sorts of deals is getting the player across the line - from there, it's beholden upon the trading in club (that is us in this instance) to get the deal done

i'm confident we will, and we won't look back in 2018 and beyond

Both clubs have arrived at AFL House - could be happening today? According to Trade Radio at least.

Or maybe arbitration?

Adelaide and Melbourne list management officials have arrived at AFL House. Lever deal seems imminent.

We better not get reamed. If we are giving 2 firsts i'm expecting pick 16 back

My Port supporting mates refer to AFC as the ‘Cows’ all the time.

Supposed to denigrate I guess.

Done deal: Lever joins Demons

 

Adelaide will receive two first-round draft picks in exchange for defender Jake Lever after a trade deal was struck with Melbourne on Thursday morning at Etihad Stadium.

The Crows will get pick No.10, a future first-round selection and a future fourth-round selection from the Demons and send Lever, pick No.35 and a future third-round selection to Melbourne.

Christ thats a horrible trade....  we better have something else in the works to curtail the damage of that massive overpay

Cant believe we let Adelaide get their way, ffs

In Mahoney we trust. He will get something done.

[censored] we got reemed.

True. But he already has. We now own the best young defender in the game.

WOW just yuck! He could've walked to the draft FFS. WTF??

Rapt with this.

Three AA squad members now in our back 6 plus the improving Oscar, speedster Hunt and developing Frost.

Some outside speed and Weideman stepping up would help complete a very talented side.

Damn, was hoping we would of got something back for 2 first rounders other than steak knives.

Its done now. Lever will be rock solid.

Lever would want to be good for us.

Huge gamble.

True. I was referring to @Petraccattack 's post. 

Well [censored].

Jake will be great but we had the leverage, he was willing to walk and there was no way he was going back to the crows.

Two firsts for Jake and a 4th - 3rd ain't fantastic. We do have a fantastic backline now though:

Hibberd, Tommy Mac, Lever, Hunt, Frost, Jetta. So versatile.

Well I for one won't mourn the loss of draft picks when it's a known gun we're getting. Stoked!

We must have some other stuff in the wings for this to be completed so fast.

 

Welcome Jake, great to have you on board.

Welcome Jake
