Far less than what he was being offered at other clubs... and he’s absolutely worth that 

I disagree at this stage but cool, thanks for the info.

His value is dictated by the market. You may think that Hogan is worth $500k based on deeds, but that would be an insult when Freo may be offering $1m. 

[Willmoy1947 3,769]

I know for a fact, that everyone on the MFC List is getting more than Lever at the moment. So there....

[KingDingAling 3,593]

If players are disgruntled then good. I hope they are. I hope our precious players are made to feel really uncomfortable. They are going to have to start getting uncomfortable if they want to win a flag. They are going to have to fight for everything they have. I like that. I am no Goodwin fan, but if he is starting to p*ss off our playing list then he has my full support.

Reports on AFL site that Lever's been advised not to come to the Crows B&F tonight.

First they low ball him, and now they won't even buy the bloke dinner. Classy.

Not such a big deal about Lever not turning up to the Crows B&F.

At least he turned up for the Grand Final which is more than you can say about Tex.

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?

Very short memories by the hypocrite Crows.....now that our Scott Thompson has retired from their list.

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

What The Adelaide Crows Should Demand For Jake Lever

 

Oct 6, 2017

 

         

 

 

 

 

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.”

 

Leigh Matthews should keep quiet. He should let his fists do the talking. That worked well in the old days.He's not relevant any more. Don't give his opinions any oxygen. He's an irrelevant old man who used to be quite a good football player. Pipe down Leigh. No one cares about your opinion.

Leigh Matthews is old and would definitely smell like moth balls.

Adelaide knew Lever wasn't staying before the finals started. They still chose to select him to represent the AFC on their biggest day.

To say that we'll select you for a GF, even though we know you're leaving, but we'll then block you from turning up to the B&F is about as small minded as you can get.

That's why it's a plastic club.

[faultydet 7,593]

Says to me it's a sideshow to placate the moronic masses of their supporter base.

By the CEO's own admission, Lever telling the club a month earlier of his intentions to leave, the club was able to up it's offer to McGovern, and re-sign him.

I'm thinking the angst towards Lever has been initiated by Tex.

[Cheap Seats 3,300]

Anyone got a progress in the Crows B&F??

Surely if he's not top 10 the Crows can't demand 2 first rounders

And considering there's effectively zero angst against Cameron wanting to go to Brisneyland, it does make you wonder why Lever is being portrayed in such light.

Tex looking more like the villain at every turn.

Just cracked it over the grand final loss and the whole club seems to have lost the plot. You saw in texs speech after the game that he isn’t a great loser.

They're acting like a dumped ex, lashing out because they're so hurt at being rejected by what is obviously a young talent

[Gator 16,891]

Lever missed rounds 1 and 2 with a hamstring.

[brendan 3,380]

Could you imagine the sooking if he wins 

[Dee tention 611]

Wonder if 'Tex W*nker' will put on the tuff man speech at the Mad Cows B&F... 

Would love if the Dees invited Snake to this years B&F.

Scott Thompson just thanked the MFC for 4 great years with us before he moved to the Crows. Thanked us also for drafting him in the first place.

Fantastic to hear from Scott. Wish him well in retirement.

[Moonshadow 16,162]

FMD! Jake, get outta there as quick as you can.

What a bunch of hypocritical whingers! Not worth much, but we'll have 2 first rounders and btw don't go near the B&F.  All class. 

Welcome to the bosom of the MFC Jake. You're part of the family now.

A Team with Sloane, Tex, Crouch, Betts playing for peanuts while in their premiership window, upset that a young player that will reach his peak in 4 years won't help them deliver more premierships in the future on a peanut pay packet. I feel so much sympathy for them.

I'm not sure what the final top 10 is, but here it is with one game to go.

He made the AA squad, but not top 10 in their B&F.  Hmmm

[Whispering_Jack 27,960]

So the situation is that Jake Lever has probably missed out on a top 10 placing in the Crows' B & F after finishing  in 15th place last year and they're asking for a first round draft pick or two just like that?
