Lever left Adelaide to sign a lucrative contract with Melbourne in the wake of the Crows’ defeat to Richmond in the 2017 grand final.

But Ricciuto believes the club has never had regrets over agreeing to trade the defender to the Dees.

“Jake Lever got a five-year deal on $800,000 to $850,000 (per season), very comfortable that we let him go on that money,” he said on Triple M radio.

“He’s probably a $500,000 player.”

 

Well it obviously all worked out for adelaide, and they are flying now. 

Adelaide = AAA farm team

 

Yeah Recuiito would say that.... By the way Mark, Why not put your players on PERFORMANCE CONTRACTS 

Gee, you won't need to shell out more than a couple of Hundred per game!! IMAGINE your saving!!

Love it. 
Bound to fire Lever up...

Bring on the Dons! 


Mark Ricciuto is the crazy ex-girlfriend we cross the road to avoid.

Knowing our luck all that will mean is him flying for marks he should stay down on 

Lever needs to start earning that money, the $500k isn’t far off what he has produced for us.

 

$800-$850k is for a superstar, we’re paying that to 2 defenders.  Plus We don’t have dominate forward to help us win games.


There are guys at his club that would walk over hot coals for that sort of coin. Or maybe not. 

He’s right. Lever is not worth 800k. We overpaid massively. His next contract won’t be half that.

800k and two 1st round draft picks for Lever...

Only at Melbourne.

I can live with the money although five years was perhaps excessive but the draft picks....grrrr

Much the same can be said about May

Anyway ... we will know the answers by seasons end

Right at this moment his comment is fact. Whether it remains so is entirely up to Jake. We wait and see.

Lever, Pick 37 and Pick 47.

FOR

Pick 10 (2017), pick 19 (2018) and Pick 59 (2018)

 


So, it ended up being...

Jack Lever, Harrison Petty and Matthew Parker (StKilda)

FOR

Lochie O'brien (Carlton), Liam Stocker (Carlton) and Brett Bewley (Fremantle).

 

Looks fine to me.

I think that is why he did it.

I reckon Roo wants to ensure the crows finish below the Blues and the Dees.

 

Leaver is a smart footballer in his prime, a safe pair of hands. We generally over pay and lose out on trades. May is a worse example. We gave up pick 6 for him as well. Over priced and a really dumb footballer. At his age not much future, I would rather develop other younger players. We have a few of not very good return on investment, Like Pruess, Vandenberg and Kolodjashnij

Wasn't Lever nearly BOG when we smashed the Crows in the Alice by 90 pts?

Mark?

Hello?

?

Says the bloke that runs the club where arguably their greatest ever player doesn’t feel welcome. Fix up your own backyard you goose!

May a “really dumb footballer”. Really? HUGE get for us IMHO. Any other club in the comp would take him in a heartbeat.

They are not necessarily who we would have picked.  Or we may have traded one.?

 

fact or not mark, that's no way to make friends and influence people. karma has a good record. enjoy those grapes

Pretty average comment whether it true or not. I think we need to judge Lever after a full season. Sample size is to small at the moment.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
