What

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

People keep referring to his off field issues. Well what are they? Cant be too bad if we are recruiting him

He did miss 5 games, doesn't look too unusual really.

On the Dockers forum, a poster said he will turn into the next Scott Pendlebury now hes gone home to Vic. Wouldnt that be nice.

Hes coming to the MFC. Welcome Harley. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-10-06/trade-wrap-docker-almost-a-demon

Yup. And if anyone at the club is whining about Lever being paid so much it tells me our culture problems are money related - players care more about their salaries than the club, and are more concerned about what other players are making than earning their own paypacket and working their asses off.

Adelaide can not take Francis based on their treatment and comments on Lever. Would be the most hypocritical thing of all time.

False charges by a bitter Adelaide Crows franchise. Do they not realise he is from Vic? Scott Thompson is a mercenary too then.

Charlie Cameron leaving the Crows too. Brett Burton is probably crying in a corner somewhere.

Thats so unprofessional, wow. Hope we get him for nothing in the draft.

Wouldnt be on that, or even close. Dont believe the media lies.

LMAO...... just spat out my drink

A big summer woking on his 1 on 1 defending is what is needed for Lever. Hogan will be a great training partner in that regard. Will he be the next Rance/G Jakovich, or will he just be a better version of Jared Rivers?

BRETT BURTON: Extremely disappointed that Lever is leaving. His decision is financially motivated. Yeah it has nothing to do with living in that dump Adelaide and wanting to be back home in Vic.

Im not. They would need to add a 3rd rounder, no way should we give up two good assets for Lever.

LOL suck [censored] Collingwood That will burn fat Eddie

Laughable that the Crows want two first rounders for this guy. Now Im not judging him on his grand final performance, the kid is 21 after all and the Crows were garbage. But the fact is he is a 3rd defender whos strength is intercept marking and spoiling. He hasn't shown he can play 1 on 1 or lock down a key forward. Pick 10, take it or leave it. Though pick 27 is fairer, is this kid better than Hibberd?

The sad thing is we will pay top dollar, then the Crows will easily find a replacement for him and not miss a beat. I wouldn't be against keeping pick 10 and forgetting Lever... groom Joel SMith for that role.

We are absolutely paying overs. But sometimes you have to to get what you want.

Way too much. If true, we should look elsewhere.

That's ambitious WB. He'd be worth about what we paid for Hibberd and Melksham.

God i hope we get him, he is the general down back. Such a great footy brain.

Depends what picks they were. I wouldnt trade him for 9 picks outside the top 10. (Assuming in this insane hypothetical we have to use the picks and can't trade them). Oliver is a special player. A taller, bigger, red haired Greg Williams.

Hadn't seen this posted yet. Hes officially requested a trade home to Vic. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-09-19/docker-balic-requests-trade-back-home-to-victoria
