Jake Lever - it's good to get a feed with mates

Dangerfield, Lever, Cameron, Tippett, Davis and very shortly Sloane.

They are lining up to get out of that trash cultured club

And they don't want to leave your great culture because they get to hang around and pretend to be footballers, whilst getting paid obscenely for what they produce. Your club is close to the last in line to be slinging shit at anyone about culture or performance.

Yes our club is so poor, we managed to play in a grand final... whilst your players when they had a great opportunity to make the finals for the 1st time in a bloody long time froze against the Pies.

We don't even have a top 10 draft pick or require financial bailouts...yet your club has been given so much special assistance to be competitive again. Says something about your culture!

Shows you how shit your culture is tbh.

You make a grand final and that still doesn't stop players wanting to leave

You realise that there is a salary cap and every teams players get paid the same, right?

They produced some ok footy at Adelaide Oval this year.

These guys are placed in a situation where fan’s expectations of virtue are almost impossible to meet. I see nothing wrong with what you’ve described considering the pressure from all corners placed upon good players coming out of contract.

For what it’s worth I also thought the “he lied to Jimmy’s face!” reaction from Melbourne fans over Scully was also out of whack. When you’re a young man offered these kinds of sums of money, you take it and do your best to appease the frothing masses who are mostly going to hate you anyway.

That's true and I'm pleased you recognise the hypocrisy of Melbourne posters having a go about this.

Yes I do realise there is a salary cap. Doesn't mean that players are worth what they are paid.
So you're happy with your season 2017. Good luck to you. Exactly what I mean about expectation.

Not really. But I'm happy my players aren't lining up to walk out on my club. Wish you could say the same

No. It shows that we weren't prepared to pay a 3rd defender 850-900K per year. It also shows how desperate Melbourne is. Lever is a good player, he's a long way from a great player. I'm sure all his team mates will love knowing how much he's paid in relation to them.

I can say the same. We lost 2 players, also gained draft picks and a top flight player.

Because players have never left other sides after a Grand Final... Ablett, Buddy, etc

Keep digging that hole of stupidity...
