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.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
