What

Came 7th in the Bluey in his 2nd season (well, third if you count his rookie season written off with an ACL). This kid is special. The game where I knew he was going to be the real deal was the win over Essendon, where he was playing as a key forward on the second best key defender in the game, Michael Hurley, and kicked 4 goals on him.

To anyone that still thinks we overpaid by trading some speculative picks out for Lever, watch his highlight reel on afl.com. http://www.afl.com.au/video/2017-10-12/get-excited-lever-flies-as-one-to-the-dees Nick Riewoldt like in his marking ability, timing and courage. There are 16 other clubs that would have killed to get him to their club. When was the last time we had someone with this marking ability the club? And dont say Jeremy Howe, sure hes good for the highlight reel when he gets a run at it but he doesn't have the courage or ability of Lever, not even close. Lever will be a champion of the game, not just the MFC.

Trade period isn't over, and the draft is still to come. Until then this is pointless.

In addition to Lever, the Crows gave the Demons pick No.35 and their 2018 third-round selection. Didn't realise we got the extra third round pick next season.

Im over my mini whine from 20 minutes ago about the picks we gave up. Screw the picks. We just landed the best young defender in the entire competition. Yes, the Melbourne football club did. The place nobody wanted to set foot in 5 years ago. What a time to be alive.

a minute ago Done Deal: Smith joins Essendon Devon Smith is off to Essendon as the dominoes start to fall. The Giants will receive pick No.11 from the Bombers.

Christ thats a horrible trade.... we better have something else in the works to curtail the damage of that massive overpay Cant believe we let Adelaide get their way, ffs

The Jack Watts fan boys sticking the boot into Roos and Goodwin.... pathetic.

This is a joke right? He will be 27 when next season starts. He has shown to be a handy 3rd forward. That's it. 'One of the greats' is a laughable statement... in fact I can only assume your post was satire. Edit - I respect your support of the club over such a long period, dont wanna make it sound like I'm having a pot shot at you. But you're way off base on Watts.

Would be about the 10th kick in the bum hes had in his nine seasons at the club. He will never change and thats why hes being traded.

Id gladly give up those picks for Lever, but would want a 3rd rounder back.

Would look much more dangerous and impressive if you swapped Watts name with Hawkins.

I have loaded up on popcorn for when Watts is traded. This thread will be a goldmine of tears, meltdowns and unintentional comedy. Cant wait.

The irony here is off the charts.

Cos thats too much. Hes not worth two top 20 picks, you don't just add an asset especially when pick 20 is so valuable. We would need something back.

Came 21st in the B and F Gun.

Hibberd robbed worse than anyone in the history of the Bluey, surely.

That is Saty.

This live feed is awesome.... I have criticise the club in the past for lack of content on the website, but I will be emailing them with praise for this.

That wont last long, Adelaide will cave by the end of the week. They have no leverage at all.

Ben Cousins like Col will be in prison soon enough too

Amazingly, the MFC website has finally got with the times and is streaming the count live. Well done to whoever is behind this. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2017-10-09/best-and-fairest-live-stream

So no new names popped up today, no doubt that rumour we were into a gun mid was total rubbish.

Schache is a Casey talent right now too.
