List Mgmt. Weak Flog Jake Lever Requests Trade to Melbourne, Causes Player Revolt

[FR0GGY]

I look forward to absolutely nothing coming from this.

Nah we’ll get done, an afc player admitted to being involved.

think ive said before that i spoke a couple of times with jake early on when he got drafted and i could tell immediately this kid had so many similar personality attributes to Dangerflog. My gut feel was, this kid aint gonna be here very long. its not a vic metro thing, it a personality thing.

Onward and upward....find a chop out 3rd defender to slot in for Lever, see what the year 2 and 3 guys deliver, get Gibbs, tell Jenkins and Atkins to go get some tattoos and parlay the Lever collateral into a Brownlow medalist.

I must admit I don't understand the "We traded you Scott Thompson a decade ago and he was good, so you should accept unders now" stance from some Melbourne supporters.

It's because they can't find issue with us giving them Bernie Vince, now excuse me as I pick a fight with Eagles fans because they took Tyson Stenglein at the end of 04.

So when does the AFC get a COLA allowance from the AFL?

So if being on top of the ladder for 18 weeks and playing off in a grand final doesn't make players consider staying then when are we actually going to be able to retain players?

So Levers Contract $ makes him a higher paid player, at 21 yo, than Dangerfield is being paid in his prime ($700K IIRC)

 

[flashcrow]

We pay well.

And I seem to remember a star forward nominating us known as Mitch Clark...

Pity you don't play well.

We gave Richmond a 1st round pick for Tambling about 5 years ago. They should have let us win the flag

They’re obviously being paid on their flogness, Jake has danger slightly covered.

that's not true, Adelaide will be banned from the next 2 drafts

 

[Jeffcrowe]

But less spots to fill the Vic talent so no need to go outside....we have already lost three guns to three different clubs in Melbourne and there are already 2018 rumours of a 4th club for Sloane.

60-70% of drafted players from Vic so the risk will always be there until when and if other states catch up on providing talent to the pool

Even riskier to just draft home state kids if the talent pool is poor

The crows ( and Port ) need the SA talent pathway through the SANFL to lift its game and do its job

At least next year is promising

Danger had a respectable reason ......Lever is just big headed, was upset when left out of the side after a Hammy ......FFS , what right as a 21 yo does he have to comment on team selection? ......Lad has got too far ahead of himself

Give us academies and watch the talent come out. Nothing like a bit of self interest to get results.

I can guarantee you that he is not logging on to his twitter account. Can you imagine the barrage on there ???

IMO what fooled us was the prediction of Lever as a future AFC captain ......the assumption that goes with Leadership is loyalty & a sense of team first ......we've been fooled

I saw him make the same comment about the final against the bulldogs in his first year when we left him out. That at the time he believe he should have played.

It's almost worth the club funding the system now even without academies !!!!

 

[Barneythecrab]

Wish the crows would orchestrate something with Brisbane behind the scenes to get them to take lever in the draft. Maybe Cameron for an early 3rd rounder and in return you have to take lever with your first pick. ****ing do it.

 

[Rotayjay]

Another year, another high-profile departure from the Crows

Yes remember that .....he had no position to make any comment .....were they his thoughts, or was he a mouth piece for family members?

why do port need it? they dont have any problems retaining required non-sa talent or trading in quslity playes

its nor an sa problem, its an afc problem..

 

[TheLeftFist8]

I was sort of naively hoping he would stay.

It's depressing supporting the Crows.

I was absolutely hoping he would leave as hopefully the return will be of more value to us.

However, he is an absolute flog campaigner with the way he has managed this to be the biggest, divisive tool possible during a premiership campaign.

Which team looked the tighter unit on the weekend. We were fractured. I doubt the Lever sideshow helped one bit.
