I can 100% tell you that jakes offer does not make him the highest paid player at the club. Jesse hogan is our highest paid player, Nathan jones not far behind both ahead of our offer for lever.
My take away from the last few days is that the crows low balled jake big time with the first offer, he cracked it and put himself out there and by the time the crows came back with a more reasonable offer he’d decided to leave.
It sounds like the infighting from half time at the grand final hasn’t stopped. If you want to blame someone look at your key forwards and captain who looked totally shell shocked on the big stage. Lever was very solid despite being tagged and had nothing to do with the crows losing the gane
I would be horrified if the Melbourne footy club handled a situation like this with as little class and as much bitterness as the crows have.
I view it as being extremely unprofessional. You’d have to think Bryce Gibbs would think twice about going there if this is how they treat their players.
The thing is, if he digs his heels in again over lever and forces him into the draft, they’d be passing up a good deal no reason.
Sorry brett but if danger is worth 9 and 28
10 and 27 is more than fair for lever. You set the bar.
Hearing Balic will be doing a tour of the club within the next week or so, he has some fairly serious off field issues but also has some talent so potentially a value pick
It depends on where you value the 2018 pick. I personally would prefer to trade 10/2018 pick and then do the same trade to get back into this years first round with watts
