Guaranteed 1st round....the afl loves a contrived drama

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....

where's the info from?

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.

Cool as bro, different wavelengths clearly.

These guys are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars at the end of the day to kick a footy. Thats a HELL of a lot more money than the vast majority of us make slaving 9-5, 5 days a week. Many of these guys are living their dream and can set themselves up for the rest of their lives if they have the appititude. For me, I think this point is irrelevant, they don't ask for the money at the particular rate of knots., Its part of revenue sharing in a sport which is valued as entertainment , and unfortunately sport is about genetic giftedness first...then its about application. Unlike other industries where it is cognitive (which some would argue is still genetic giftedness as well as environmental circumstances). Some of them are under performing and should be under scruitiny. Again, most of us would have some sort of perfromance reviews at work. Guess what happens when we dont do our jobs? We are disciplined in one way or another or worst case, get canned. Well, they are under scrutiny,..permanently no one goes out there to not play well - or as common parlance has it - without desire, gumption, hunger... They're under scrutiny from each other, supporters, family, coaches and themselves daily/weekly...take it from me, the stressors due to the scrutiny are far more than mere mortals who work in non visible non entertainment industries. Shame, embarrassment, frustration, anxiety all in a public space...its a hard hard place to exist, its isolating at times...and the coin doesn't make it any easier, in of itself.($ doesn't buy happiness etc etc)

For those who are wanting to trade Salem - why is this?

Thats the joy of it... love it now that we are somewhere on the spectrum of a destination club... jeez we would have been more if we got a finals berth...

wtf? got a link??

you heard it here first

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

recruitment AND the development!

Named after that famous Melbourne and Fremantle player Jason eh? Morrish my friend.

Very droll...

What it says on the tin...
