He'll be there at our 2nd pick. Whether he's the best available at that pick? Would be close.

I'm sure he aims to get it wrong and look like a [censored].

Nothing wrong with asking the hard truths. Fact is we needed to stand up on a massive occasion and couldn't. Who/what the problem is should be asked. Why do we go missing for a qrt? Why can we never kick away for a big win? Valid questions to ask ourselves.

The lack pressure TMac gave to allow Elliot to goal wasn't good enough at all. Yep send him forward forever. Now getting Lever and further strengthening tall backs are a must.

I also don't mind if we trade them both away. Only going to be mid-teen picks and our window is now/next year/next decade. As long as we get guns for our picks I believe we have enough core youth to be able to sacrifice a couple of drafts for trading purposes and bolster our side while we are attractive. Also a first-rounder and Frost is the least we will have to give IMO anyway. Any club would swap pick 1 for him now and pick11(?) plus Frost I personally would laugh at.

https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_rankings?year=2017&rt=LA&st=IT I meant intercepts only not intercept marks

Lever is No.1 in Afl for intercept marks per game at 9.69 per game. Frost at No.27 at 6.50. So effectively if Lever replaced him we are statistically say a goal to the better per game? That's huge.

Yes a week or two in footy can change opinions hugely. Frost is still young and we have praised him most of the year untill loss in form. Personally I was afraid Brayshaw would never make it back as classy as he did and so soon. Watts has been a match winner many times and we can't seriously expect to gain anything short term from dealing him to help us in our window. He is reaching a mature peak. Pedo perfect example. Personally I would give 2 first rounders for Lever. Not a player. For starters Lever is one of the first rounders, and we will likely finish high next year so say pick 13+ we would be giving away. We are in the window now for many years to come and a young Lever can be a pillar for the next decade of that.

Does make me wonder why we haven't been linked to a Dusty or a Kelly (A gun mid etc). If we really wanted them there is no reason we would be perhaps the most enticing choice. A Lever type won't come available every year, and looking at our key backs I think we are well short. Goodwin wants TMac forward. That leaves Oscar, Frost....Garland....??? We need a key back. Our young mids are still finding themselves and there roles and we'll surely be able to replace Vince, Lewis with free agents next year, year after etc. Also if we use our first rounder this year its most likely will be a mid/small type as hardly any bigs in top 20.

Mate believe whatever. Cheers for the faith.

One day I can. Not for a while hopefully.

I often wonder myself

Maybe you're talking to him..

I'm not going to hang myself on the line cos Tony Sheahan tweets a rumor. I can't say who and will remove myself from demonland if what I said turns to be untrue. That is all that really is to be said until we hear more.

Good mail, as in from Tony Sheahan's twitter? Nope from him, don't know him.

Can't name them. Not fair on them. Not sure what i can add other than I broke B.Mac coming and wouldn't post if not 100%

.

Just heard some good mail that in the past few days he has chosen us.

I think he could fill the very valuable role Petracca/Melks type role on our forward flank nicely at the very least! Of course its all what we give and wants the come. As mentioned our recruiters rate him highly so would not be surprised if he ends up being our big get.

I have faith our pitch to him would of been well done. Can only hope he does choose to come to us. As for what picks and or who I'm sure the club have pretty much already figured out the options and also have solid faith it will be worth it. If he doesn't come, at least it's a good sign players want to meet with us and are linked with us. Especially the most sought after. Lever would be the biggest coup the club has had in my time anyway.

Besides Waldron was adamant the Pies have him. He has obviously gone out to be hero or zero, but my gut believes him.

Watch Lever for 30 seconds and anyone can tell he is all class.

I'd defiantly give up a first round pick a seconder rounder and a fringe player max. Lever is that bloody good though that he would give us certainty in the use of those picks and of course a ready made young gun back with 10 plus years to come. Yes please!

I'd rather free up the list of spots. We don't need to be playing players that simply arn't going to be part of the main 22. I'd rather give a shot to a Hunt type. We all saw the benifits of giving the youngsters a go this season like Oscar, Hunt etc Nothing to be gained otherwise except cover for a few games.

I'd take Fyfe for Hogan. About time we has a super-star mid. More immediate and consyant impact for next few years. Hogan will always have issues over his head even if he re-signs.
