$4 million over 4 years seems way too high for him. Didn't Lewis give a speech earlier in the year that the players should be willing to play for less money to get more, best 22 players in, in order to win a flag?

If the MFC have offered Lever that much, doesn't that pretty much throw all of that out the window? Thats gonna p*** off a lot of the playing group 

Generally agree, but $1M per season isn't what it use to be and won't be in 3 seasons time at the end of his contract.  Lever waited until the new EBA was out for a good reason.

    It will be much more than that if he is forces to go into the draft.

    He'll put a massive price on his head for years 1 and 2 and then get paid under's for years 3 and 4 when he reaches the MFC

    you contradict your own post D167

     

    Lewis gives a speech saying existing players should accept less, in order to attract more "best 22" players from other clubs, then you wonder if the existing players will be p****ed off, because of the arrival of a new "best 22" player from another club, on good coin?

     

    Rethink, and re-post

    You're missing the point dude.

    There are a number of players currently on the list who are better then Lever on a helluva of a lot of less money, that's what would create animosity within the group.

    Don't get me wrong all, Lever would be a great catch for Melbourne no doubt, and it'd be awesome to see him dominate in our backline.

    Agreed.  Hadn't heard $mill mentioned.  Wouldn't be surprised if Adelaide would throw that around though.  Hell hath no fury as a Crow scorned.

    Thats not the point at all.

    Lewis tells players to accept LESS, in order to attract outside players who will be best 22

    Then you suggest players will be ANGRY, if said new best 22 player takes the money Lewis has been telling them to sacrifice.

     

    makes Zero sense at all.

     

    We have no defender who is better than Lever at what he does. None. So why the concern?

    Coz I can tell you for a fact that the players would definitely be pretty angry about.

    I heard from the 7 news piece it was 750k a year for 4 years. In 4 years time i bet you another increase in the cap will happen. Also considering some clubs have multiple players on close to 1mil a year, where is all our money?

    And I have no doubt at all that is the case. It's always a huge concern about out of joint noses when attracting new talent.

    But it flies in the face of what Lewis was saying, and that's my point.

    Players have to earn the coin, also remember Nathan Jones, Bernie Vince and Lewis are all close to the end, huge cap room available if guys like Oliver and Petracca earn it. It's also one of those things in which you hope they buy in to the product, not the coin. I could see guys like Petracca and Oliver wanting big bucks and being tempted by different clubs. I don't see guys like Hunt or Gawn demanding big money, because i think they're really invested in the club.

    That's what i heard also, and that sounds reasonable to me.

    Adelaide are obviously training to paint it as a financial move to save their own skin, so don't be surprised if they throw some numbers out there.

    Who's on heaps less D that thinks they have more value?

    Lever is being paid on form and potential to drive us to the next step, hopefully the playing group can give it time to see how it works out and not get their noses out of joint.

    Yeah, lets stick with our plan of the past 53 years.  That will work!

    People are speculating the amount anyway.  The bigger the amount, the bigger the reaction. Don't get sucked in.

    I'd be angry if the club was incompetent and not thinking about the future of the playing group with this deal. However, since Jackson has been incharge i think the club has become rather stable.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
