Realistically the crows would want this and next years first rounders at least for lever.

I thought he was pretty good today. And clearly he's a better on field leader than anyone we could replace him with.

I'd up the offer to a mil a year over 6-7. He's a gun and a great young leader.

I think lever is a mil a year player under the new agreement. Kid looks like the next great key defender. Lever at one end, with frost and tommy supporting him and hogan, weid and watts up the other end with our midfield is pretty special on paper

I think paddy feels a lot more pressure as well, he is desperate to get into that side and stay there, but gus while I'm sure he's just as desperate has a lot more confidence getting himself right because we need him to be a 200 gamer for us

That was the best individual game I've seen from a demon in a long time. Without his injury he could have had 45 touches and 30 contested possessions

The one I'd be looking at is Kelly. I still think pace and skills on the outside would be a huge boost. I'd be happy to offer 5-6 years on big money and say if you come to us you'll get money and consistent finals

Crows would pay him good dollars to keep him, so we'd have to pay overs to get him to consider us, how much is he worth?

Morris, Boyd... the dogs had some older leaders playing a role as well I guarantee you if you took jones, Viney and Lewis out of team and replaced them with young guys We'd be a worse team need a blend of young and old

Lewis is our best leader, hands down. No disrespect to Viney and jones but if he'd been here 4 years instead of one he'd most likely be co captain of the club his on field direction, smarts and experience are vital. He's just a little out of form but standing up in big moments and easily best 18 for us

He has extremes at both ends of the scale some brilliant and some cringe worthy. The good tonight shows why we persist with him

Not sure joe is any chance to leave Essendon even if they offered him $40.00 and a jolly good flogging with bitters every year

I suspect the suns could match anything that we could offer so it's really about his confidence in the suns future, if he wants to leave id go very hard at him

Swans are ultra confident he'll stay.

Ultimately it comes down to the confidence in oscar to develop quickly enough to reach that level. Im not sold on the idea he will even be as good as his brother let along Steven may but the club would know better

Brown would not have been able to mark everything in the air if may were playing! May is 5 times the player oscar is and oscar will be lucky to ever be as good as may is now around the mark of all Aus for the next 8 years, leader

He could not play again this year and still win the bluey

Would be silly to knock back the offer from north imo, especially considering I think he'll be a premiership player by the end of this year

Paddy will be a very good player but he is going to take some time, I fully expect the saints will just let him develop as best they can to take over when roo calls time. Im very happy with petracca but they're probably to different to compare

The biggest question I have around track is does he end up being a better mid or forward? I personally like him being 70% forward with midfield bursts

What's impressive is that despite gawn being out, getting smashed in the hit outs and increased attention he is not slowing down. If you could pick between Oliver, Bont, Cripps and heeney who would you take??

Considering what we'd have to give up to get him I see little value in the idea

Dom is almost symbolic of our team, he's winning the ball and doing a lot right but is just wasting it far to often his decision making needs work

The most impressive thing about Oliver was how clean he was, even in the wet! Kid is the best of that draft class by a mile so far including mills and wietering

I am 99.9% sure mr dank has the records and knows very well what they would reveal if they ever became public. I mean imagine the stink Essendon would have kicked up if they thought someone had records proving they were innocent.
