Cheers. The Stringer trade is very important to us - now you can read into that what you want.

And yes you owe the site a donation - say $100

You are obvioulsy new around here your positive approach is refreshing - please never lose that.

This is a good fair deal for us, meets all our strategic needs as of today.

Think you owe the site a donation - we are well under the 2100 points margin.

Next year will never arrive for many MFC supporters - they dont have the patience. Strategy was always to bring forward a pick into this years equation.

I think this article is on the money or very close to it. As I said earlier Lions were always going to be our partners to getting the deal over the line.

What?

With all due respect you wrote. No mention of other picks - none at all. It was not till after you mentioned the other picks. Just for the record both clubs had a very cordial fishing trip today.

This is absolute rubbish. No way do the Tigers swap "their two late first round picks and our pick 10." They may have just won a premiership but they are not a charity.

Will be very interesting to see if Adelaide will take a 1st and 2nd Round pick from the same draft - for Lever.

Tigers very unlikely to trade both those picks - father and son on the way. Brisbane is more likely after they get the rocky compo.

Stick it up'em boys. Off to the draft he goes if they dont deal - now thats commitment I like to see.

We are pouring the acid on them and they dont like it - moan, groan, whinge and whine. Wednesday or Thursday of week 2 is still my prediction.

Stood head and shoulders above many of our AFL listed players this year at Casey. Think he will be around the 40-50 mark in this years draft.

My tip is it will go thru late in the second week very similar to the Carlisle deal with a big fanfare for the cameras. You can almost write what both clubs representatives will say. Enjoy the circus.

Terrible result for us, shocking result for a Victorian kid out of contract that Adelaide cant fit inside there rates of pay. Adelaide are going to whine and moan for the sake of their supporters but at the end of the day they are not going to knock back a top 5 pick for Lever.

Next time you see Paul please tell him to stop reading Demonland and he needs to get his own rumors. (LOL)

If he was contracted and Adelaide had a more flexible pay structure - you might be right. But sorry to say - they dont.

Now wait a second the bet is 10 & 27 or 2100 draft points. In the example I gave I would easily win.

Kid doesn't want to be there he is un-contracted and wants to come home. Adelaide have a strict payment structure ( which has served them well ) they cant match what other clubs are prepared to pay. I think we will get a discount. I think its going to take a third part ie Freo or Gold Coast - so an arbiter or impartial judge would be needed. You can't look at one trade in isolation. ie my example I gave elsewhere on the site Adelaide - 5 Freo - 10, 27, (Steak Knives) Kent MFC - 40, Lever, (Steak knives) Balic

You are on. Now you want to pay more than 2100 draft points ( 10 + 27 ) How much more do you think it will take?

That is old news, tell him to stop reading Demonland and come up with his own rumors.

Latest rumblings is Fremantle might pony up pick 5 if we can find them a suitable trade/exchange of picks to get them back into the 2nd round and we will secure Balic as the steak knives.
