Not through design but through pure dumb luck we sold a cancer at well above value.

It was like having inside knowledge on Enron just before the crash (albeit doggedly trying to have held)

Any chance we have worked out that Lever isn't a 1 on 1 defender and that Frost has to come in so Lever can actually look and play like the player we gave a massive pay cheque to?

If Simple Simon goes another week without Frost he is even more stupid than i think he is.
Geez... it didn’t take long for the penny to drop over at Melbourne!... how could the not have known that Lever is utterly hopeless one on one?... didn’t any of em watch any crows games in the last two years?..

Lever is an absolute gem when he’s floating around unmanned in defence and he was only able to do this at the crows because up the other end of the ground was the best/highest scoring forward line in the comp... which meant most teams dropped a spare man back into defence when playing the crows... so the crows defence had one extra, Lever, to float around taking intercept makes and clearing punches with no one to hold him to account.

I can’t beleive they gave him $800k a year... it’s the biggest swindle in history and in top of that they gave us two first rounders!... it’s unlikely but imagine if they get a few injuries to key players, have a terrible run and find themselves bottom 5 at the end of the year and handing over a juicy first rounder to us!... and that’s without factoring in that, no matter what first rounder they give us, the first round of the draft this year is going to be packed with potential.

You’d think they’d at least give Lever a few game to find his way into their structures..

[starting Quote from their thread.... Brothers, I am not in the least bit worried about this game . . . . . . Dees by 20

WARNING TO CROWS FANS - IF YOU'RE GOING TO COME THROUGH LURK-LIKING LEVER POSTS IT WON'T END WELL FOR YOU.[end QUOTE]

And wow... they are a bit salty about it too... shout it out in bold capital letters next time!

Some of them are even writing Doedee off!!... I mean... are you fu*cking serious!!... the young lads played 2 afl games and been bloody great in both of them and they are somehow saying he is crap... doesn’t get anymore desperate and delusional than that!

Melbourne will make the top 8. Hoping they finish around 8th and their finals campaign does not last long. They will realise lever is a one dimensional player very quickly.

Understand and respect your request DABM and will do so moving forward... I’ve since discovered that if you remove their name and the numbers from the first part of the quote it then doesn’t show them as the OP of the comment and apparently doesn’t notify them.. so will do this from now on.

but geez.. there are some delicate little flowers on this site aren’t there!...

If I write something anywhere on this site regardless of whether it’s on a crows thread, or on other clubs thread or even on the main thread I fully understand this is the bloody internet and everyone can see it...

if people don’t want other people to respond to what the they write on bigfooty, no matter where they write it, because it might dent their precious little ego, then maybe they shouldn’t post comments in the first place!..
