    Agreed pick 10 is fair

    Always was....and change possibly.( Swap of picks )

    10 AND 27 is bloody generous.

    Adelaide, gone from Grange grandeur to Goon grumps.

    More than fair for a bloke that didn't figure in their top ten in their B&F!

    What about this scenario:

    We pull our offer and only offer pick 10 based on BF performance. Crows chuck the sads. JL announces he is going into the draft a la Luke Ball and will only play for the Dees, otherwise will sit out the season. No other side will take the risk and he comes to us at 10 either way.

    That would be draft tampering. The rules have toughened up on this. More than likely Lever and MFC would be heavily penalised

    When Lever said - 'I will go into the draft' - we gained leverage. When we found out about how the Crows acted when meeting with Mahoney and Viney we gained leverage, with him being disinvited from the B+F we gained leverage (perception in press only - makes it harder for them to stonewall), and when he polled outside the top 10 we gained leverage.

    ND10 and ND45 or a pick swap in the second round. 

    We acted in good faith with offering a fair trade and their petulance should not be rewarded.

    Pity we already showed our hand and said we will offer 10 and 27. Overs in my opinion

    As rpfc has mentioned above, our deal can and should now be altered due to the circumstances that have played out since Jake nominated us.

    Fug 'em.

    Difficult to do when you've already shown you are willing to offer two picks. Easy to do if you'd only offered pick 10 for example. 

    Basic negioation tactics

    I'd now say, we have thought about this, it's now P10 or he goes to the draft. Stop F-ing us around, we mean business.

    After seeing this, who would want to play for or stay at Adelaide? I genuinely hope this little display costs them Rory Sloane next year

    I'd rather be a club of our word. We offered it so we should stick with it. We don't want to stoop to Adelaide's level. All the clubs are watching it too

    It will not make the slightest difference to their band of dick head supporters Mr. Leg.

    Right now they are all saying" yah man tell the MFC to get stuffed"

    I think you're making it basic mate.

    We're getting fugged about by the Crows and the player who wants to come to our club is being treated like he was some type of cancer.

    They're changing the goal posts so we should too.

    No but it might to their sponsors, influential financial members and Board.

    At the start we were the bad boys for taking the young future star, but it has turned and the media is now lambasting the Crows for their petulance and arrogance and that hurts the brand.

    We have made the offer, we now say we might be able to help you get Francis or another player, for part of the same deal, otherwise the offer remains and won't be increased. 

    The Crows refusal of that offer, given the last few days Crows' behaviour and his non appearance in the top 10 of the B& F will make Lever's price drop and make the Crows look like a non destination club to other players and managers.

    I don't disagree with any of that but it does not alter the fact their supporters will be cheering from the sidelines. I hate this mob with rare intensity.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
