Has anyone else heard the rumour that the Crows, Carlton and Melbourne are doing a 3 way trade? Watts to Carlton, Gibbs to Adelaide and Lever to Melbourne. If true what's everyone's opinion on that? I'd personally keep Watts, he's stuck with us through thick and thin over the years and he deserves all the success coming our way.

Wouldn't trade Watts

    If the deal was anything like that, i would personally make like a bandit.

    Watts for Lever any day of the week.

    Lever is 5 years younger and at LEAST as good as Watts already.

     

    *shakes hands on the deal.

    Adelaide media suggests the Dogs are in the play as well and Bevo spoke with his manager last week.

    Given he's a Romsey lad, I expect our very own Demonland royalty BBO will have a big part to play in Lever's recruitment into the Demons bosum. Lodging, swipe card to the wine cellar and full use of what must be described loosely as the 'gym'

    Lever quits his Adelaide radio show spot.  http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-08-21/lever-pulls-out-of-regular-radio-spot

    Sure sign he is leaving the Crows.  Seems down to a two horse race:  Dees and Pies.  Given the pies don't know who their coach will be and its list is all over the shop, it is hard to see they have the nod.

    Conclusion:  It must be the Dees...!

    Lever has said publicly there are four factors to this decision 

    1. Money. We can offer him the $$$ he wants 

    2. Family, his family are in vic 

    3. Team success, well we should play finals this year and keep the upward trend with him coming on board 

    4. Hasn't been confirmed but I've heard his mrs wants to move back to Melbourne

    Can we keep Lever away from our Romsey based demonlanders please. We don't know where they've been ( though we could make an educated guess )

    May I suggest the 'wine' cellar has been loosely named as well.

    Talking Footy saying Norf have upped their Dusty offer to $1.5 mill pa over 7 years.

    As much as I want Lever and a hard running A grade mid, I'm glad we're not offering that kind of dosh to Dusty (touch wood)

    As they go through their re-build, North are going to be rather irrelevant (a lot like we were for the majority of the past decade).

    If getting Dusty keeps them in the limelight, then it's obvious that's the direction they are wanting to take. But why on earth he'd want to go from the Tiges (arguably the biggest club in the AFL at the moment), to one of the smallest is beyond me.

    Enough with the dogs. They've had KPP problems for years don't try to fix them now and stuff us up!

    Regardless of what you think of Lever (he's one of the competition's genuine stars) and of OMac (he's far, far better than STMJ claims and he's much improved on last year), if Lever wants to play for us then, provided we don't jeopardise our ability to retain our core talent over the next 5 years, we do that deal.

    Of course you do. But you don't overspend. He's a value add.

    Dusty is a great footballer with the maturity and intellegence of a 3 week old puppy. He'll go where the money and easy life is.

    Back to Lever, I think the Lever/TMac/OMac combo will improve both OMac and TMac as footballers

    Would prefer to lose Frost and Kent than Watts and a pick.

    I would do the Watts deal for Lever but would want to move on Frost anyway so it would make sense to include him in that deal.

    IF he decides to come to the Dees of course.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • 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.
