They did target him, they kept kicking the ball to him.

    Richard Douglas stated in a midweek interview they would target Lever by giving him the silent treatment. Clearly they didn’t follow instruction as Don Pyke showed them how it should be done at 3 quarter time.

    ...and they gave him SIX free kicks! 

    I reckon the umpires were well aware of the tough talk in Adelaide media and the likes of Wallace stirring the pot, so were very watchful of Crows play on Lever. 

    Goodwin said the only conversation with Lever pre game was to remind him 'to be aggressive at the ball'.  Lever is a smart young man he knew what that meant.  Credit to him for keeping his cool and didn't give away a single free.  He let his actions do the talking, as did the whole team.

    That they were thinking about Lever means lost focus on real issues of game plan, structures etc. Lever's first contested win occurred in the first 5 minutes  and set the pattern.

    Unproductive and displays lack of recogntion this is a professional game and they still have the Adelaide inferiority complex.  As Morpheous in the Matrix says, they are an ' artificail construct' , not  a real team like Port Adelaide or Freo.

    You want a career? - leave Adelaide and come to the east coast is the standard saying ex-Adelaide people say to me.

    So comical this. At one point when the ball ran over the boundary line a Crow elbowed Lever as he was returning to his position. Lever just smiled to himself and kept going. It was almost as though he enjoyed the recognition.

    He thrives on it. I think that's why they went with the silent treatment. The hotter if gets the more he loves it. 

    As do Viney, Jones, Clarry, Nev, Hibbo, Melksham, Gawny.... pretty much the whole team.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
