. Aaron Francis has requested a trade back to Adelaide (the city), and he's still under contract. Surely the righteous AFC wouldn't dare trade for a player of such moral standing. Francis has only been at Essendon 2 years.

I did predict this and wonder if as I predicted, we could become involved in the dea,l to help get the Lever deal across the line.

 

Phil Walsh must be turning in his grave with how this club has become so immature and weak.

I had a lot of respect for Leigh Matthews before I read this:

What The Adelaide Crows Should Demand For Jake Lever

The Adelaide Crows should settle for nothing less than the number one draft pick in this year’s draft for departing star Jake Lever, says Leigh Matthews.

“He’s a proven player at 21,” Matthews told 3AW.

“If pick 1 this year ends up being like Jake Lever, you’d be pretty happy.

“I can’t work it out… The draft is a raffle.”

Very interesting indeed

The media are paid to speculate - and to create controversy and click bait.  At the end of the day, our FD isn’t sitting there saying “wow!  We got that so wrong!  Because Weaful Wee said he is worth a first rounder, we need to change our thinking”.  Ignore the idiots, ignore the chaff.

How are we supposed to get pick #1? It's just daft. Leigh is clearly past it.

If Adelaide spend as much time analyzing why they lost the GF as to why some players are leaving they will be a far better place next year......

After reading the big footy for narrow minded imbeciles board about Lever, Adelaide have become my new most hated club in the League.

What a disgraceful way to treat an ex-player who has every right to leave after fulfilling his contract.

What have they got in store for Charlie Cameron?

Probably won't agree to a trade. 

Also most hated for me now.

Don't worry we have Jack Viney!

Play Viney and Jones off a HBF, Jetta, Hibberd and Melksham back. They won't touch him


The best I’ve read from Adelaide supporters is that BT is family friends with the Levers and he talked up Jake all year to boost his value, he’s apparently not as good as what we all think. It’s all becoming quite comedic.

Cameron is going (to the B&F) apparently, despite being contracted and wanting to leave, all is well there...?


If the players we had stood up when needed, we wouldn’t have to spend so much on one player to fill a gap. 

Nixons just doing what he does best, stirring the pot.

pick 10 and 27 and no more.  We can cover Lever with Frosty if the worst happens. However l hope its a done  deal by then.

Yup.

And if anyone at the club is whining about Lever being paid so much it tells me our culture problems are money related - players care more about their salaries than the club, and are more concerned about what other players are making than earning their own paypacket and working their asses off.

Will be very interesting to see if Adelaide will take a 1st and 2nd Round pick from the same draft - for Lever.

I can 100% tell you that jakes offer does not make him the highest paid player at the club. Jesse hogan is our highest paid player, Nathan jones not far behind both ahead of our offer for lever.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • 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.
