Crows have short memories. We were happy to trade Scott Thompson to them for just a first round pick when he was desperate to go home. We did it early in trade week too if I remember correctly, and we did it with minimal fuss. 

They would do well to treat Lever the same way.

    They're losing a 21 year old gun, a player already touted as their next captain. I don't think they'll get their two first rounders but calling them greedy for that being their opening position is ridiculous. He was never going to come cheaply and as we all know, draft picks are a gamble.

    What would you be asking for if a 21 year old Jack Viney had said "I want to move to SA"?

    Ok then give them two first rounders.

    We are not known for playing hardball when it comes to trades.  I like that we play fair but many other clubs don't.

    A bit rich of Adelaide to not pay the price for Gibbs last year.  And now dig their heels in when the trade is the other way.  Adelaide are stubborn not as bad as Ess stubborn but getting close.

    With Coll seemingly wanting to offer Adelaide more than us (which I think is just posturing with little intent, if even true) may force our hand to trade more value than we would like.  I guess it may come down to whether we have other trades rely on the Lever being done early.  If not we can wait and see who blinks first.

    Same old story - posturing.

    Adelaide demand 2 first picks and declare they want to deal with Pies (or whoever). Lever's manager insists Melbourne. Deal gets done for first and second picks early if Adelaide need the picks for another trade, or they act like tossers (Essendon style)  and hold out to the last minute of trade week, or AFL 'mediators' step in and tell them the deal's fair and grow TF up.

    PS. Don't usually pay much notice of what Lloydy says but he said this morning that 10 and 27 seemed fair.

    Lol at Collingwood coming late, won’t mean jack if lever nominates us, and Adelaide digging in there heals about 2 firsts is laughable considering how they carried on last trade period

    He maybe a gun but this years and next years first draft picks is way too much for one player, we still need to fill holes in the mid field.

    Do the filth have two first rounders to offer them?

    Not this year - maybe this and next but they don't have a second this year either.

    He will get to the club he nominates. If it's us then great. If not, oh well.

    Viney IS a captain.

    Viney's position is far more front and centre ( literally ) 

    If we were asking for Sloane it would be a different story. We aren't.

    Your analogy is wrong Nasher.

    Even 10 and 27 with no change is a bit steep. Crows are notoriously aholes at trades.

    Lol. Viney is a captain and a father son. Can't compare

    Not in the backline, but I'm guessing we are looking at other players and in active talks with players/managers/clubs.

    Note the rumour came from a Kane Cornes tweet. This year Kane has been incorrect, rude and insulting with his tweets. I still think Lever is worth 1 first round pick only but they sound like the new Essendon

    We have three tall defenders in the McDonald's and Frost (plus Hibberd and Jetta as stalwarts down back) and we are looking at giving up the farm for another?

    Don't get me wrong, Lever is a gun but I'd much rather we go after another midfielder or simply use the draft picks in the draft.

    There should be a rule only one first draft per player, and then it should be a second round if the need be but no player is worth two first round picks.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
