Traded Jake Lever [traded to Melbourne]

[TheSierBear]

It makes zero sense to me that he would approach Collingwood and then Collingwood knock him back.

ha... Collingwood were keen, Melbourne were keen. Melbourne offered more despite Lever preferring Collingwood, Collingwood were priced out and said No to Lever at $800k. Very plausible.

But Melbourne's offer is only $750k per...

but it is a 1966 Ferrari, you didn't ask the question what year it was - a true classic and those cars INCREASE in value..try again

can we trade Dermott Brereton to you guys then?

 

[Amarula]

Wouldn't be surprised if Melbourne have been into Lever from the start, actually. Were hoping to get pick 12 in that draft by trading Jack Trengove to RIchmond that they could then use on Lever (Crows got him at pick 14, wasn't it?) but this fell through when the Richmond doctor picked up that JT's foot fracture was more serious than they thought.
Wouldn't be at all surprised if Dees have kept in touch with him since then.

Melbourne's offer is $750k so no, not plausible.

He was more a 1986 Nissan skyline. Appeals to a certain market but really not a great car

 

[Thetrader15]

We don't need anymore 30 year olds

 

[Crowstar]

I'd be happy with a pick high enough to get D Fogarty. If we can get that Lever can gtfo

Fogarty probably lasts to 10

 

[Crowstar]

Fogarty probably lasts to 10

Let's hope we get 10 then

It is a true classic, but vicroads recently increased registration fees for classic ferraris and you only offered to pay half the price of rego and Vicroads said no, pay full rego or your car is unregistered and can be picked up from the impound by anyone willing to pay the full registration fee.

You now realize you can't afford the registration, so you decide to put the vehicle on the market with the new owner needing to pay the full registration fee. Now sure the cars a classic, but its unregistered and as such is worth less than a registered car.

 

[Vindicater]

Can't wait until Lever wins the premiership and then re-signs with Adelaide.

Ahh but as it is unregistered in Victoria and is apparently worth less there, it can go on the open market where it might end up being given away in an act of generosity and end up in Brisbane or the gold coast if the potential purchasers in Victoria don't want to give Ferrari value. Just to let the victorian purchasers know that if they dont want to pay ferrari value they wont be getting the car. The good news for those in brisbane and the gold coast is that they do have the money to look after it even if the car would prefer to be in victoria....

The car is unregistered, and worth less, across the whole country, not just Victoria. If you can find someone willing to pay above market value for an unregistered car good on you.

I'm actually thinking this is a legitimate possibility.

If any of you have bid at an auction you'll know that the serious buyers emerg in the final seconds. A lot of clubs want Lever and there's still 3 weeks to go...

Yes and no.

Hardly relevant any way but I've bought 3 houses at auction and in 2 of those I was the first bidder.
Showed my hand early but bid hard a strong whole way through.
Depends how much coin you have to spend.
Make no mistake, we have some SC room so we're hardly cash strapped.
What we won't do is pay him too much or give up too much to get him so if North come in with some crazy offer because they can't land anyone else then they can have him

 

[Sando22]

Completely agree, totally overrated, did nothing in the prelim, no good 1 on 1. Hoping he goes to Melbourne because he is not the answer at collingwood. We will end up with Weideman and Melbourne's second pick for pick 6 to the dees

Could not disagree with this post more.
One - I love how your view on him is based on 1 game.
Two - Why on earth would we trade Weideman?
Three - Why the f*** would we want pick 6?

An unregistered Ferrari that it seems quite a few purchasers want. And as it is a classic (ie one of the best Ferrari's in the country), the purchasers know they will have to pay what a Ferrari is worth or the Ferrari might be given away in an act of generosity to a Queensland purchaser just to spite the (victorian) purchasers who are trying to undervalue the car

Pies may be interested at 6

My view on him is based on his overall ability, not 1 game. Let me see, gets the third best forward every week, slow as a snail, a slightly taller version of Howe, with howe averaging many more intercept marks and guess what champ, Adelaide want 2 top ten draft picks for him, you are going to need pick 6. And 3, take a chill pill pal, not everyone shares the same opinions as you

Or perhaps Melbourne let him slip to Adelaide knowing that they would develop him better rather then prematurely making him captain and sinking his career

That way they can come a calling when he's an established player. Hehe

 

[markm106]

I think people are getting carried away with Adelaide wanting 2 first round picks. Of course they have to start high. Who knows maybe they'll end up with two first rounders. But I doubt it.

 

[Cleric]

Mitch Cleary on AA said Melbournes offer is 850-900k for 5 years.
