Yeah I had no issues with how Melbourne handled the Lever trade.Dees are always very good to deal with.
The media on the other hand were assholes about it. That crap about Lever chucking his Crows guernsey at the dump was totally uncalled for.

Luckily we traded for him for more than the one year.
As long as Lever doesn't ever need to change direction again, he should be fine.

Those future years are up in the air.
What if he never gets back to peak fitness?
What if the pick we got from you ends up being a superstar?
What are you on about? Lever did his knee as a junior. It was always a risk. It's why so many clubs passed on him in the first place. You don't have to be nostradamus to know he runs a risk of repeating that injury.And this kind of bravado like you saw it coming, complete bs, your club and supporters were salty and wanted to keep him remember?? Could have happened to anyone.

I think Crows fans are just relieved in happened after the trade. If he had done a second knee before leaving the Crows it would have tanked his value at the trade table.
Lol, results based post at its finest...
Just like when Joel Selwood's groins were shot and Chris Judd may never recover from osteitis pubis.
Max Gawn has done knee 3 times from his junior days til now, going alright at the moment.
You would have resigned him if it wanted to stay, there were no ifs or buts about it, its not Adelaide's brilliant doctors said he's risk moving forward so trade him now, Taylor's pre bnf hissy fit summed up your club as a whole.
Can someone please translate the last paragraph?
Some players recover well from a knee and some are never the same again. It varies but I wouldn't be confident about Lever based on how innocuous the injury was. All he did was change direction afterall.Lol, results based post at its finest...

The Crows wanted to retain Lever because he's a talented player. Nobody in their right mind would argue against that. Who the hell said it had anything to do with our brilliant doctors? The reason they didn't match Melbournes offer was because they knew they could replace Lever fairly easily. Had nothing to do with being fearful of his knee.
I love how much Victorians hate Tex. He's living inside their heads rent free.
Lever was a Free Agent now?I dont even hate Tex, i find it hilarious that club captain can't wrap his head around free agency.

If you're going to come to our board, you could at least get your facts straight first. How are we suppose to know if you're arguing in good faith or not when you gloss over details like that?Sorry for the technicality breach, he wasn't under contract.
Lever didn't do a McGovern.
That's how many of them happen.It varies but I wouldn't be confident about Lever based on how innocuous the injury was. All he did was change direction afterall.

Not really. Whenever a player does a knee, I live in constant fear they will repeat the injury. I'm a bit of a cynic that way.That's how many of them happen.
It's how Petracca did his knee at training.
What will be will be.
I assume you're confident Brodie Smith will be OK. We tend to look at things that suit our perspective.
He will never be the same as pre knee, no player is, it is just going to be how big of an impact it is.That's how many of them happen.

Our club doesn't make poor decisions anymore, so I'm quite happy to back them in.He will never be the same as pre knee, no player is, it is just going to be how big of an impact it is.
I'm pretty confident if your club had hugely over paid on a 3rd tall defender with dodgy knees you might have a bit more of a realistic view.
Our club doesn't make poor decisions anymore
Yeah it does.Our club doesn't make poor decisions anymore, so I'm quite happy to back them in.
How about yours ?
Probably the biggest basketcase in AFL history.Well, to be fair you had an amazingly long run on that one
Fitzroy and St Kilda deserve that tagProbably the biggest basketcase in AFL history.
It is what it is.
