and our opponents will tag him out of the game like the grand final.

Hunt and Hibbs will run riot, perfect.

He was a Restricted Free Agent and Adelaide said they’d match the Cats offer which forced Cats to trade picks. 

Lever is actually easier because as an in contracted player he can just walk and Crows can’t stop him. He can use Luke Ball trick. Put a ridiculous price on his head and say he’ll only take one year at any other Club and then go in the draft again. No Club would touch him and he goes to Dees and Crows get nothing. He goes to us and then negotiates a 5 year deal or whatever and the first year price is absorbed into the contract. Ultimately that is why Crows will have to be reasonable. Im sure I t won’t get to that. Also sure Lever won’t want to leave that way unless absolutely forced. 

Sure, except the AFLs trade integrity guy has to sign off on any player movements as being fair and reasonable, which that isn't. He's knocked back deals before.

If Adelaide won't budge on 2 first rounders there is a solution if Richmond are interested. We could swap our top 3 picks 10, 27 & 45  (draft value 2445 pts) for Richmonds 15, 17 & 53 (draft value 2370 pts). We give the 2 first rounders to Adelaide and keep the slightly downgraded 3rd rounder. Richmond end up in the top 10 of draft and better trade value overall.

Thoughts?

If we give up two 1st round draft picks for Lever, I'd be [censored], I'll renew my membership still, but the club would be pushing my limits. ?

You must be a patient person if only now they are pushing ur limits now.

Sssssssssssssssssssource....?

Being announced on 7 News Adelaide today maybe?

 

 

 

Lever is believed to have informed the Crows of his wish on Tuesday and is certain to nominate Melbourne as his preferred destination.

jake niall confirms he's requesting a trade: https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/jake-lever-officially-tells-adelaide-that-he-wants-to-be-traded-to-victorianbased-afl-club/news-story/18ed1449aba092ba0cc8661635f295cc

 


And by Victorian he means a Melbourne club.

And by a Melbourne club, he means us.

:lol:

Just say Melbourne and be done with it.

Hmmm. Would it be funny if I threw in the old, he's not coming to us now joke?

Apparently they released this statement now because they didn't want everyone to hear it first from Lever's mouth. Imagine if you tune into Adelaide 7 news and hear him say i wanna go to the Dee's

It'd be a 9 News exclusive if it was Collingwood


A sneak peek of the interview - sounds like BT:

 

ADELAIDE defender Jake Lever has requested a trade to a Victorian club. 

Crows head of football Brett Burton said the club was extremely disappointed in Lever's decision and would consider all its options.

Lever has reportedly told Channel Seven that he wants to join Melbourne, confirming months of speculation.

He looks a tad P-ssed off

 

Lever deal at Melbourne said to be worth at least $800,000 a season. Some adamant it's for $850,000 a season

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
