Engorged Onion

Oh the hilariousness of GEN X' talking about finical motivation as a taboo reason, and trying to tarnish an image, when GEN 'Y's really couldn't give a fark about taboo and are pretty transparent about rationales...

asking price makes sense - it says to adelaide that staying is not going to happen as I'm pricing myself out of the equation...

close thread...he's locked away

personally Id want to hang with me old mates from Brighton Grammar on more coin, whilst my partner is more content back home and have my family around - given a chance...the cosmos has aligned...

Not directly a pot at you - it's a professional organisation (now) ...of course they've considered this...to whomever they wish to pay overs for currently...

Boom! How much is too much for Crows' elite young key defender? http://m.afl.com.au/news/2017-09-12/bowen-is-jake-lever-worth-two-firstrounders

the sooner Adelaide get knocked out, the sooner this all gets clarified...and thats far more important than the 2017 premiership.

I just want to know why the mail is so disparate and what agenda drives it...

Elaborate please...

sigh...is it done yet, or what....

It's on!! - https://www.facebook.com/TheZanottiFiles/ I'd say Zanotti has around a 95% strike rate #LeverWatch It's going to take a very large offer to change the course of Jake Lever's future. It's our understanding that he has verbally committed to Melbourne for 2017 and beyond.

wtf? got a link??

you heard it here first

Frost is on trade table? Lever in... yum.

there is definitely a twinkle in thee eye.

Very droll...

What it says on the tin...

driest humour going around

and we got the average brother yet again...

All this talk about Bronwlow's got me thinking - Did Jobe ever find his Brownlow? Or has it been forgotten now as an issue about integrity?

Checkmate? http://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/sydney-swans/zak-jones-resigns-with-sydney-on-twoyear-deal-snubbing-hometown-return-to-victoria/news-story/eb3e22994542155b36feba73261644dd If you'd just held off around 90seconds....

just been facetious ..soz mate.

Plenty of papers on that - lets walk to the car yard and get the $25,000 VW golf , the $35,000 golf or the $45,000 - most people discount the $25k because they feel the won't get enough, or its not good enough - the difference between the $35k and the $45k is perceived value - do I get the same tangible benefits, or am I getting ripped off. I'd go the $35k - hence Jake will definitely be coming to Melbourne. You heard it hear first.

@Skuit - what's Adelaide list management position? What is their prioritising from a financial perspective? Perhaps they're resigned to losing him due to his partner resigning and wanting to come back (could be rumour of course) - perhaps it is a fait accompli that he returns - its no longer about oweing clubs respect due to development as a young player, these are purely pragmatic times. Irrespective of financial offers, its about your values as an individual - closer to home (connections, family, community) vs the brotherhood of one club that nurtured you - even though this is fundamentally replaceable (see Dangerfield, Mayne, et al). Either way there is benefit and cost - personally, I'd join the Dees rather than a small town hick team from Radelaide, from a 'values' based perspective,

#zanotti reporting that he will sign for Sydney. Personally I'm not the fazed.
