If they want our 2017 & 18 first round picks, fine. But we want their 2018 first round pick included in the Lever deal.

Out: 2017 FIRST & SECOND PICK, 2018 FIRST ROUND PICK.

In: LEVER & ADELAIDE 2018 FIRST ROUND PICK.

what's the hurry? we made a generous offer. we stick to our guns or it's the nd

This is absolute rubbish.

No way do the Tigers swap "their two late first round picks and our pick 10." They may have just won a premiership but they are not a charity. 

And if you read my post you’d understand that was not my implication. Simply that it would be a deal involving those picks. And that we were going to ask the question. 

If you’re going to attack someone’s posts it’s best to know what you’re talking about.

Hmmm, can you imagine how stupid the Crows would look if the Tigs agreed to swap their 2 x late 1st picks for pick 10, and we kept our second round pick?

 

Why wouldnt they have their own meeting with the tigers, swap 10, and keep our pick 27 to themselves?

Strange.

The deal would involve those picks but it would not be a straight swap. Its just something we will discuss in order to get picks capable of getting the deal dine

An update on the lever deal. The crows won’t budge on the two first round picks deal so the club will be having a meeting with Richmond to discuss an exchange involving their two late first round picks and our pick 10. 

The crows have indicated that those two picks would satisfy the deal if the tigers are willing to trade them. 

With all due respect you wrote. No mention of other picks - none at all. It was not till after you mentioned the other picks.

Just for the record both clubs had a very cordial fishing trip today.

“ an exchange involving their two late first round picks and our pick number 10” vs an exchange of their two first round picks and pick number 10. 

 

Not that it matters, we all just want the deal done

That wont last long, Adelaide will cave by the end of the week. 

They have no leverage at all.

Zing?

Is t just me or does it seem like the crows as a club have totally lost the plot?

Caro agrees with you

Caro’s annoying, until she agrees with us.

That's how I read it Demons11. I think both clubs agreed to try and take the spotlight off their clubs by making mother hood statements

Agreed. From Walker to Burton and probably many more around those two. They force a 21 yr old to declare his intentions 4 weeks out from the finals so they could up an offer to Mcgovern. He takes care of the club with his honesty when he could have easily stayed mum.... and they  shame the [censored] out of him, then bag him in the press. Im not saying any club would be happy to lose a quality young player ( we wouldnt either ) but the way they have handled themselves sends out a very reflective message about the club I reckon. No wonder everyone wants to leave!

So i had a look at pick 10's in the last 10 years of national drafts, this is who clubs got:

Chris Egan
Marcus Drum
Nathan Brown
Dangerfield
Phil Davis
Melksham
Gorringe
Sumner
Cockatoo
Nathan Freeman

Makes me feel a bit more at ease knowing that only 2 of those players  (Danger and Davis) justified their drat position. So if we have to cough up more, so be it. Lever is a ready made gun for the next 9 years

Pick 7 seems always to be the one to have.

That's 100% correct

I'd say he's referring to the word 'involving'. I.e. involving said picks doesn't mean limited to said picks.

Melbourne should play hardball.  Crows have treated Lever like siht.  We should re-arrange contracts so we can front-end him a whopping amount that other clubs cannot match in 2018.  Let him go to draft.

One thing better than Lever?

Lever and 10 and 27.  Worth the risk in my book.

 

 

 

That is my take.  I aint KB.

We don't want to play games on this one. Hold firm re a first and second round pick and negotiate a swap of late picks and deal will be done. We have a good reputation for being fair and transparent during trade period and if we muck around it could backfire.

Lever proposed to his girlfriend (now fiancé) a day or so ago. Our young fella is growing up so fast..

First class, nice work Snake, could have taken a little less cash so the club hired something better than the acoustic duo we had to put up with during the B&F.

Proposing at 21 years of age? He can't be too smart then..

Old mate Dwayne want the Cats to have a crack at Jake, even though they have no early picks.

Trade Radio played audio of Tex Walker teeing off on Lever on Triple M Adelaide. Did not hold any punches. Said he has chosen "money over success".

Had some respect for Adelaide as a club but they are not handling this situation with much dignity,
