The draft is a gamble, proven players like Lever are gold.

Happy it's done.... a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

He is only 21 and he is a gun, will soon become a fan favorite and will be a vital cog in our quest for the holy grail.

I don't believe the captain would tweet something like this if it wasn't a huge chance to happen. Personally I think it's just about over the line, just waiting for the Crows season to finish and the compensation picks agreed upon.

Kelly is going to the Blues and Essendon, and I'm Brian and so is my wife.

Lever has ruled out going to the dogs

I'd love to get Lever but wouldn't trade Hogan to get him, no way.

Love how he can sniff a goal or two, definitely holding his position and spot in the 22

Kelly is school mates with Hunt and Salem, we are also a destination club if this form keeps up. Also think our backline is looking good with the addition of Hibberd, the improvement of Omac and Frost and the wildcard Joel Smith.

Lever would be automatic first 18

Recruit of the year and probably doesn't need to tackle as much because he either spoils it or gets it himself.

Thrives playing on the big stage

Hibberd is a gun , and will be a permanent member of this side bar injury

I didn't realize Lever was key position

Petracca will be a superstar of the highest order, where as McCartin might develop into a very good player.

If we use this years second rounder, that means we are out of the first and second rounds, which hurts our chances of picking a decent player that we may have had our eye on, who could be that Forward/Ruck type we have been after.

Perhaps our strategy is to get really good support players and develop our own stars

Dawes and Lumumba for Hibberd

Imagine when he is fit enough to spend more time in the middle along with Petracca , Brayshaw and Viney? Stop dreaming, the premiership could be a reality in a two to four years time.

Only a select few impressed me this much this early.......Flower, Schwarz,Jakovich,Farmer,and Hogan. I reckon this kid will be a star.

Haven't seen Petracca on the park yet, but this blokes the most exciting player I've seen pull on a Dees jumper since I first saw Hogan.

Every chance to be this years smokey and play more games than expected as Brayshaw did last year.

I doubt whether he would play Full forward or Centre half forward to begin with. The Roos way is to play the kids on the flanks and pockets to ease them in. If his pre season or Casey form is very good he will probably get a few games as third tall.

Look at the hunger on him

He has an awesome pair of hands and seems pretty clever too,perfect foil for Hoan.
