Tex and his texans have dropped their collective bundles. Too many drinking from the Torrens currently. Tex and his fellow indignants might possibly take a moment to reflect as to the why of the many leaving the Crows before uttering such nonsenses. A question to Adelaide, might Lever actually be leaving for MORE and sustained SUCCESS ? He's entitled to the money, it's footy; but before you can place one above the other in argument you might want to be able to back it up. Adelaide are conjuring hypotheticals as though they were FACT then adjudicating upon this. Possibly Adelaide has looked in the mirror and not liked what it has seen and so has to start blaming folk for their failures. So, let's start pining the "deserting rats" !! Adelaide are full of more "rats" just waiting to leave too. The Crows are in a murderous mood but they'll be the ones taken down a peg or two I sense in 2018. Many will play but not with their hearts in it. Better open another Bin 407 chaps...

interesting choice there. ... Biffo's barking mad and his dog bark's madly Crow's CEO's Wife...got to be a font football knowledge there !! My god...the crud they dredge from the Torrens these days “From my understanding ( so subjective ! ), and I’m not a club spokesperson ( but I'm going to pretend I am now ) but I do hear a bit, and from my understanding ( see previous ) theclub is pretty bemused (read..mightily plssed off ) byall those reports,” Alana Fagan Stick to the Chardonay Alana. Melbourne reportedly getting the job done. Crows returning to earth !!

the table hasnt been set. Adelaide cant even be bothered sitting at it. You might rethink a tad. Its more than likely 10 and 27 WILL be spent. But until they are you cant KNOW they will. There's nothing binding about 'talk" that's just Life "101" The Croweaters are beligerent.. The scene has already been discussed no end I imagine. The 'out' is the draft. Adelaide should be in no ignorance of this by now. Yes it's an ambit play but one we could enact..and win. We don't want to be seen as ungamely so offer effectively "overs' The art of the deal...is to always be prepared to walk away...next best thing...upset the table. Do you deal in a world where things are hard set..or fluid ProDee. I wonder. This has been going on for months. Time to end game it

If nothing else...we haggle. Our offer just changed ? 10 and a third rounder Sign quick while we can be bothered !

Always was....and change possibly.( Swap of picks ) 10 AND 27 is bloody generous. Adelaide, gone from Grange grandeur to Goon grumps.

Now we're getting close. Me being, well , me , would want their future 3rd back as well. Mahoney is pretty well on the money. Has been on many occasions. A shrewd haggler

Tex showed with his ' conciliatory and gracious ' speech in defeat just what a top bloke he is. Burton by comparison, to well, anything 'reasonable' is just a boofhead. I dont mind Adelaide the city. Football....

Dwayne is no fan of intelligence !!

any wonder Crows botched their GF aspirations !!

Cornes is a very annoying primate.

Viney IS a captain. Viney's position is far more front and centre ( literally ) If we were asking for Sloane it would be a different story. We aren't. Your analogy is wrong Nasher. Even 10 and 27 with no change is a bit steep. Crows are notoriously aholes at trades.

Its an interesting comparison to Hibberd. Lever currently isnt quite as good imho...not right atm.. He might become better but then we dont know what Pig's ceiling is either. As a 'hypothetical" is Hogan was traded it would definitely be for 2 first rounders or equivalent at least. Lever isnt worth a Hogan so by that comparison Crows demand of 2 x1sts is just quietly between anyone and me.......a crock of shlt !!

imho the 2 picks are just an opening ambit bid( or demand). Hard to mark down from a reasonable price. So set the scene;. They ( or their media friends) have. Game on. Nothing new. I agree as it happens that essentially pick 10...but with a later swap of picks is fair. But it's footy

some very odd decisions about playing on. Both sides really. The advantage rule ( muffed, fluffed and stuffed ) !! All in all some bizarre decisions ( or non decisions ). Had a whole season to get used to it though. A couple of times our lad Jake was somewhat non-plussed about the vagaries of what was happening. Just when he thought they wouldnt blow a whistle for zigging...they would...when they had for zagging and had a Toiges infringe he wasnt given a zac. A couple of times you could read his lips !! What the F ??? The whole 'holding ' thing is very ambiguous

was a bit ( too much ) tiggy touch umpiring re jumpers. Wasnt an equal application through out the day. Lever was no Astaire but did ok at the Big Dance

You actually explain why he does bring some excitement. He's ( JL ) a pretty good disposer of the ball. Very much more often than not the ball goes to someone with advantage. Not even 50% of the time would that be the case at Melbourne currently. I used to play as a forward..( moons ago granted, but the essential elements of the game are still there ) and what I look for in a good defender is a combination of two basics. Firstly they either deny you the ball, or if you do get it they deny you the opportunity to use it as you would prefer. At this Lever is quite good. The opportunity to let Pig and Hunt off the leash a bit more as you suggest is the icing on the cake.

No end of them it seems !! Go figure

Book him in Danno !!

Wonder if he'll turn up ?

nothing will eventuate til Monday cool jets all

might well be that ( 750 ) front loaded at 900 but....who knows...only rumours

probably still making selections like a broken Jukebox !!

made the squad if not the team. Not too shabby Interesting as to who it might have been to beat him to the team's possie

Certainly hope a Mr Goodwin & Co were watching intently. That said, hope our list in the main were also. A particular irony of sorts I thought as Adelaide did to the Pvssies effectively what we did to them !!. We can get it right...sometimes Adelaide's composure under onslaught was a major differentiation last night. Lever seldom seems to get flustered.. Amazing that hes only 21. Old head , young shoulders. Hope we get him .

Many aren't questioning the validity of getting him just discussing where the buy price ( to Adelaide) ought to sit. There seems a fairly broad range as to that.
