Has everybody seen the interview Kane Cornes did? Shows you how out of touch the crows are.

Players have to earn the coin, also remember Nathan Jones, Bernie Vince and Lewis are all close to the end, huge cap room available if guys like Oliver and Petracca earn it. It's also one of those things in which you hope they buy in to the product, not the coin. I could see guys like Petracca and Oliver wanting big bucks and being tempted by different clubs. I don't see guys like Hunt or Gawn demanding big money, because i think they're really invested in the club.

I heard from the 7 news piece it was 750k a year for 4 years. In 4 years time i bet you another increase in the cap will happen. Also considering some clubs have multiple players on close to 1mil a year, where is all our money?

Who can blame him for wanting to come to us, i mean who doesn't want a kiss from Petracca.

Are we tracking planes yet? or is that a soccer only thing?

After listening to Barrett this year on AAA i think Gary made him a demon fan.

No.8 is open

If Jesse Hogan kicked up a fuss and wanted to go home i would want the club to do a deal with either WA club as long as they pay market value for forward of his stature. Asking for two first rounds pick for a 21 year old defender is insane and trying to lure other clubs to the table to put pressure on us is a dick move.

Why not just trade him to where he wants to go? Being dicks in the trade period just makes you look bad to other clubs.

Apparently they released this statement now because they didn't want everyone to hear it first from Lever's mouth. Imagine if you tune into Adelaide 7 news and hear him say i wanna go to the Dee's

Just say Melbourne and be done with it.

I think the most important thing to take from Richmond and the Doggies success is that 1 trade won't make us a premiership team from where we are now. It's about having the right game plan and a belief in that plan. We looked the real deal when we beat Suns, Pies, Doggies and Eagles. Injuries can be blamed, but it took us 12 rounds to look good enough to win the flag when we needed to be switched on from round 1 till the end. I don't think Jake is worth 900k a year* sum, but once he wears our colours i'll back him to the end.

Lever was quality in the first qtr and had a respectable game once the Tigers got well on top. I think the crows problem was one too many tall defenders, i don't think Lever was/is too blame for not handling the pressure of 5 small frowards jumping on him.

That's kinda silly when you consider his position. Rance has been good for years, but Richmond have been bad for years. If we looked at a midfielder or small forward similar to Petracca you would want someone who can change games.

I'd imagine his Essendon boys are on that list, i don't know if it's concerning or encouraging that he deems 6 players untradeable.

I think Jake was quite good today, best of the crows and helped to keep the scoreline from getting real ugly.
