List Mgmt. Re-Signing Jake Lever

[Coutinho]

Not a bad trade they should net us around pick 5 and grundy is a fair player and give them back pick 18

This will go deep into the trade period irrespective of who he nominates - the Vic clubs will be at each others throats over Jake.

 

[davos44]

He has to be traded or take his chance in the draft.

Yeah, "Welcome to Brisbane airport" is in his future if that is the path.

 

[marty36]

So if he chooses Collingwoods offer of 1 million per year over 12 years which they can afford, but we cant for some reason, we can demand their first round draft pick or something like that?

I hope he likes humid weather if Collingwood don't pony up

Boyd, Taylor Adams, Josh Caddy, Gunston. Then there's guys like Treloar, O'Meara, Prestia who didn't last much longer and pulled the same move.

And thats just off the top of my head

And all bar one of those named was from one of the "expansion" sides playing in unfamiliar AFL states with zero culture and questionable infrastructure on the admin side, hardly surprising, and correct me if I'm wrong but all bar one from Victoria??

Collingwoods list is a Garbage can though. Adelaide should be asking for their pick 5-10 and a Betts replacement.

 

[Betts are off]

I reckon its time to allow clubs to trade players without their consent.

The current system is too much in favour of the player.

If they can just decide they're going when their contract is up, potentially leaving the club out of pocket on their investement. The club should be able to cash out on them when it suits too.

Totally agree. I dont know any other comp in the world that give the player that much say in trades. Its ridiculously restrictive, especially if you're not from a Victorian Club

I'll be very surprised if Lever does want out that we don't try to wangle a 2018 1st Round Pick in the "Super Draft" into the deal....Unless a very decent player is involved in the exchange.

 

[WAG]

I've slowly come to the opinion that if we win the premeriship, then he can go with my blessing (albeit with fair compensation) however if we don't then he stays to complete unfinished business.

Simples.

Which is why it would never get passed.

No. There are very few players on their list I would want outside of their core team (pendles, treloar, grundy etc).

Should go to Essendon so we can get ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAZIO.

Treloar was at GWS for 3 years. O'Meara at GCS for 4 years (plus was at the club for an extra year as he was a mini-draft recruit). Prestia was at GCS for 6 years!

 

[jimvic]

can we play an intra club trial in the bye week

So really not looking forward to the headlines when we play Port then...

You never know

Lever if he decides to leave it will be firstly to return to Vic if that's the case he will then have to realise whatever club he goes to will have to satisfy the crows so we could be negotiating with a few to make the move happen

He won't be choosing Collingwood for example for premiership glory

If not he could see himself in Brisbane

[kulak]

We shouldn't over commit to keep him. He's just a third tall defender albeit a good one. McGovern is the rare-as-hens-teeth agile pack marking pressuring key forward who we must keep.

That said, Lever is also the greatest player at his age of all time and therefore nothing less than a top 5 pick and your best young player will get hold of him in a trade.

 

[Runnin Blue]

I want to hear none of this "player nominating his club" crap this time. Highest bidder wins.

If the Crows bend over again, they should deregister themselves from the AFL. Line in the sand time.

You would have thought Roo would have put an end to copping it up the bum

But I'm not so sure

I'd take dusty Martin for Lever might even give you a brown to go with it


On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Either Dusty or Kelly. But Kelly first. Would give up Brown but would prefer to keep him.

This will be his test if he leaves

But that's the point, they all leave, and they never get a culture except a culture of their best players leaving

Treloar was at GWS for 3 years. O'Meara at GCS for 4 years (plus was at the club for an extra year as he was a mini-draft recruit). Prestia was at GCS for 6 years!

Exactly

 

[jaytex]

Pick 5 and levi greenwood?

if we had two greenwoods, wouldn't that make it a green forest?



i'll see myself out.

When has that ever happened? Player nominate a club, the deal gets done. You're holding the Crows up to a non-existent standard, there are never players who are happy to go to a state and don't care which team it is and let the team trade with the highest bidder.

Just did a little more research to help back the point up for you.
Cam McCarthy, Caleb Merchbank, James Aish, Paul Ahern, Tom Scully, Jarrod Pickett, Nathan Freeman, Phil Davis to name a few more
