Has anyone else heard the rumour that the Crows, Carlton and Melbourne are doing a 3 way trade? Watts to Carlton, Gibbs to Adelaide and Lever to Melbourne. If true what's everyone's opinion on that? I'd personally keep Watts, he's stuck with us through thick and thin over the years and he deserves all the success coming our way.

Wouldn't trade Watts

If the deal was anything like that, i would personally make like a bandit.

Watts for Lever any day of the week.

Lever is 5 years younger and at LEAST as good as Watts already.

 

*shakes hands on the deal.

Adelaide media suggests the Dogs are in the play as well and Bevo spoke with his manager last week.

Go to the AFL site.

 

No to the dogs.

[DeeZee 6,733]

Lever has ruled out going to the dogs

[Moonshadow 16,200]

Given he's a Romsey lad, I expect our very own Demonland royalty BBO will have a big part to play in Lever's recruitment into the Demons bosum. Lodging, swipe card to the wine cellar and full use of what must be described loosely as the 'gym'

Lever quits his Adelaide radio show spot.  http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-08-21/lever-pulls-out-of-regular-radio-spot

Sure sign he is leaving the Crows.  Seems down to a two horse race:  Dees and Pies.  Given the pies don't know who their coach will be and its list is all over the shop, it is hard to see they have the nod.

Conclusion:  It must be the Dees...!

Thanks for proving me wrong, shouldnt listen to Adelaide Clowns!

[Dwight Schrute 16,781]

Lever has said publicly there are four factors to this decision 

1. Money. We can offer him the $$$ he wants 

2. Family, his family are in vic 

3. Team success, well we should play finals this year and keep the upward trend with him coming on board 

4. Hasn't been confirmed but I've heard his mrs wants to move back to Melbourne

It's a more certainty than us playing finals.

Can we keep Lever away from our Romsey based demonlanders please. We don't know where they've been ( though we could make an educated guess )

May I suggest the 'wine' cellar has been loosely named as well.

Er, just a stab in the dark, but maybe Romsey

Talking Footy saying Norf have upped their Dusty offer to $1.5 mill pa over 7 years.

As much as I want Lever and a hard running A grade mid, I'm glad we're not offering that kind of dosh to Dusty (touch wood)

As they go through their re-build, North are going to be rather irrelevant (a lot like we were for the majority of the past decade).

If getting Dusty keeps them in the limelight, then it's obvious that's the direction they are wanting to take. But why on earth he'd want to go from the Tiges (arguably the biggest club in the AFL at the moment), to one of the smallest is beyond me.

[layzie 28,752]

Enough with the dogs. They've had KPP problems for years don't try to fix them now and stuff us up!

[titan_uranus 22,365]

Regardless of what you think of Lever (he's one of the competition's genuine stars) and of OMac (he's far, far better than STMJ claims and he's much improved on last year), if Lever wants to play for us then, provided we don't jeopardise our ability to retain our core talent over the next 5 years, we do that deal.

Of course you do. But you don't overspend. He's a value add.

Frost is on trade table? Lever in... yum.

Dusty is a great footballer with the maturity and intellegence of a 3 week old puppy. He'll go where the money and easy life is.

Back to Lever, I think the Lever/TMac/OMac combo will improve both OMac and TMac as footballers

[spirit of norm smith 12,919]

Frost and 1st rounder #12 

swap for

Lever and crows 2nd round #36

[rpfc 27,476]

Would prefer to lose Frost and Kent than Watts and a pick.

I would do the Watts deal for Lever but would want to move on Frost anyway so it would make sense to include him in that deal.

IF he decides to come to the Dees of course.

[layzie 28,752]

Dare I say it. I'd also prefer that. Gotta give up something to get something.
