Surely we'd have to look at getting a three way trade done with the crows and blues 

although the blues are known to greatly overrate their own players. This is evident with SOS cleaning out all his picks from the giants 

My complicated attempt would be 

we send sam frost and our second rounder ( 28) to the crows for their first rounder (16-18) 

we send (16-18) and 2018 second round pick for Bryce Gibbs. 

Bryce Gibbs goes to Adelaide in exchange for jake lever 

jake lever comes to us. 

 

Crows get Gibbs, frost and a second rounder for a first rounder and lever 

we get lever for frost and 2 second rounders 

blues get a first and a second rounder for Gibbs 

 

we get jake lever into the club and retain our pick number 10 and 2018 pick 

 

Prepared 2 lose Frost like we keep our first round picks

So is Nathan jones and we'd want more than a first rounder for him if he requested a trade 

What we want and what we'd get are 2 completely different things.

And no, i don't think Jones is worth a first rounder either (age the obvious reason)

 I'd say Zanotti has around a 95% strike rate

It's going to take a very large offer to change the course of Jake Lever's future.

It's our understanding that he has verbally committed to Melbourne for 2017 and beyond.

I know he was simply asked the question and answered honestly, but I liked it much better when under Roos we stfu about potential trades and talked only when they were done. Of course the media now paints it that we expect Lever to saunter over to us.

It's not hard to either shut up or play dumb and not give away stupid headlines.

FMD! Is there a worse club at premature expectation than the MFC?

Have a read of what he is actually quoted as saying, nothing controversial at all.

Of course, and if you read my post you'd see that I did

We don't need players commenting on potential trades. After saying he knew nothing of it, Pig should've played a straight bat and said "that's the domain of the recruiting guys", rather than commenting on media rumours and stating that he'd love to play along side him. Media training 101 really

Individually it's a storm in a tea cup, but with all the other Lever media hype we will look stupid yet again should this trade fall through. Hopefully it won't

North have $2m+ to splash around.  Watch them come and trump MFC offer.  They are desperate to get an 'in-demand' player.  They also have better picks to offer the Crows.

Crows have shown they will play hard ball with trades in recent years.

Lots of water to go under the bridge still.

I was told Kelly knocked back North as he saw them as struggling in the next few years. If he views them like that and presumably his manager too, they may have gone off the radar as a destination club and money alone may not get top players there.

Agreed.  Can't see why a player would go there.

But my concern is North interest/effort will push up the contract price and/or the Crow's trade request.

If Jake choses us, its irrelevant what North has to offer trade wise as they are not involved in the deal. Adelaide may hope he chooses a team with better picks, but they wont have the option to tell Lever where he must be traded. So yeah, if jake wants to come to us, The Crows will just have to accept what we can trade.

Contract price is obviously a different story so i agree with you there.

Welcome to Ninthbourne Jake !!

:P

Crows probably will but I think it is bit of a myth to say that they have to.  They can play hard ball like GCS did with O'Meara, forcing Hawkes to sell their 2018 1st pick cheaply to the Saints. 

Crows have shown they won't just play the game in past deals; they fight for what they want and don't fold lightly.

And, Jake may be seduced by the $$$ North might offer...It wouldn't be the first time a player has been diverted to another club:  Clarke, Tippett and to a lesser extent Buddy. 

My initial point was a deal isn't done until its done.

No doubt about it. Cant count your chickens and all that.

Im sure Adelaide will drive a hard bargain. Every club has the responsibility to extract the best deal possible when a quality player leaves. 

Sure, he could be seduced by the big bucks, but so far there has been zero indication Nth are even in contention. (Cue Mitch Clark scenario..........)

My fingers are crossed we land him as i believe he will be a huge addition to the side. Mac Snr could very well win the Coleman next year lol. *jks

If it's the money he is more concerned about them let him go, have fun being the highest paid player at the cellar dweller team, have a chat to ablett mate, see if the money is worth it.

WOW...Melbourne has exited the race...?

IF, IF true it could only mean the club has found a bigger fish or Lever's price/trade deal got too high.

Will be interesting to see how this pans out.

So a couple of days after we are reportedly out of the Lever race we sign up our OOC tall defender?

Might be something to that then...

Tweeted 2 days ago we pulled out of the Lever race but yet this morning the Zanotti  Files guy posts on Facebook Lever has verbally committed to us for 2018 and beyond.

Who do you listen to?

Not really, look at his post the day before, Lever was signed up to the crows for 2 years. Just another lame facebook page that pretends they know what is happening

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
