Cheap Seats

I believe it's just Adelaide posturing by saying 'a Victoria club'. It means they want fair value and idont blame them. We'd be upset if it eas petracca. Going to be an interesting trade period because the crows seem.[censored]

You could be right mate, I cbf looking up dates. All I know is the crazy season is officially here now

Hahaha relax mate. Actually I am a little bored as well. We need some more fake rumors or something to pass the time I assume crows will be in lock down for a couple of days. I think trade week starts this week? I should look it up (but cbf) I assume Lever will either re-sign or nominate a club this week. A lot of these deals get done mid year (terms etc agreed to)... Only Lever and his manager would know exactly. I find it just unrealistic noise sometimes with North and Saints etc now making plays.... If you think about it and you were moving employers, generally speaking it wouldn't be a spur of the moment decision. I'm not saying it can't happen, but I reckon Lever has already made up his mind. We will just have to wait to find out who it is.

I've got a feeling you're point is 100% spot on rpfc. We can only speculate but I reckon Goody wants to change the dynamic of the back 6 or 8 depending how they're going to play. Dees have been notoriously bad at rebounding out of defence and bringing in Lever helps change that dynamic and moves out our bad ball users to the opposite end of the ground. Who'd have though a bad field kick but solid 1v1 player in T Mac could be so dangerous forward? It also gives opportunity for guys like Joel smith to develop further as a 3rd string defender and not a KPP.

Couldn't be worse then the JW sooking? Surely?

It's a new fad

I heard he was sitting on the dees table

With the risk of turning this thread in to a JW thread...... I have to disagree... First off i would llke to clarify i am not a Jack basher, im just calling it as i see it. Jack is a super talented outside player. Im also not saying he has to or should be traded. I believe now Jacks problems are jacks alone. I dont buy these excuses anymore. Jack needs to take responsibility for Jack. There is no argument this clus has been a massive basket case. But Jack has now had some of the leagues best development coaches for the last 3 to 4 years. Nathan Joness career didnt dwindle at this club (i acknowledge these are 2 very different players) but i really feel now its a bit of a cop out. You also talk about his finishing, and i strongly agrree, but it takes a team effort.to win a game, not 1 play from.Jack Watts. Let's not sell snake oil here. Fleeting in and out of games is not necessarily a solid.contribution. My understanding is the team philosphy is no passengers, i think jack needs to ask himself if he's a passanger or a contributor under the standards set down by the leadership group. It's really now up to jack. If he feels (or the club feels) he can't meet the requirements, then he shoild go. If he can biy in to the standards set by his peers I'm happy for him to stay. But no more excuses. The current reports in the media dont paint a great picture. Maybe just maybe Jack needs a wake up call

Agree @A F I dont know details all i know is criws have cap issues and had to re-sign a few. It's great news for us

Crows have cap issues. They'd be pushing the loyalty and take less play in a good team factor... Probably offered a couple years with the promise of his next contact to be more substantial. We obviously also rate him enough to pay to get him out of adelaide

I am assuming everyone is upset because the assumption on here is Jack Watts is being traded against his will.... I am not specifically commenting to anyone @binman - just general conversation

Why is there an assumption Watts hasn't agreed to be traded? Edit: I'm not saying any specific trade is agreed to

This is the same idiot who was certain Lever was off to Pies for a few weeks..... But in fairness he does get good mail

Coniglio. Not sure we need him but he's a gun. Would love to get

Giibs to crows and lever to deed does make a lot of sense though. It all comes down to the blues now...

Is it connolly on sen now? Anyway he's saying Gibbs hasn't requested a trade. Australian saying gibbs has requested a trade.... haha gotta love this time of year.

I agree with you and what you've said. Couple of points i think needs to be considered First you need the list to win flags before you worry about payments. 800k if rumored is correct is not massive in todays terms. And lastly as a supporter i love hearing all the good (albeit unconfirmed news), but im not sure i like how public this lever news is with so long to go in the season. Things change quickly in afl

Depends on how the payments are structure - just as an example Lever might be front ended and Trac could end up being back ended. Also would love to have that problem where Trac is demanding that type of money. Would have had a massive 2018.... Who would be the Dees highest paid player??? Jones or Hogan or someone else? Approx 800k?? I can't see too many demanding big money right now

Haha picket folded Never fold on the river @picket fence

- Tim Sheehan is reporting that Lever has told his teammates that he has committed to the Dees on big $$$ for 2018 Am going to giggle when this falls over - you'd think he (Lever) would wait until the Crows were out before making any decisions - and especially because don't the AFL rules say you can't commit until a certain date Sorry I cbf looking that date up - its around October when the players contracts expire.

Well I'll be buggered..... Still young will continue to make mistakes but doing well for a young kpp

General rules for posting trades on Footy Forums 1. Find uncontracted player 2. Is there a perceived need for player 3. Are they related to a current player 4. Post I have no idea if the Dees are interested in Towballs brother but it fits the criteria

Agree Stats are very mislesding. Getting 30 as an inside mid at a lower level with lots of stoppages doesn't necessarily teanslate well to etihad where there are less stoppages or the fast break game styles employed in the afl today

I almost spat out my chardonnay....

I know this is stating the obvious but, Regardless of the Pro EFC chest beating and investigation into ASADa it doesn't change the facts Easendon don't have records what they injected players with nor the fact ASADAs investigation was found legal in the high or supreme court (sorry for my ignorance) nor the fact they were found guilty in the swiss high court. Just sour grapes and im enjoying it. Personally im still waiting for james horss truth to come out that will prove essendon innocent......
