Lol to be a tall kp player put of contract.... Grossly overpaid. Good luck to him, would be stupid to pass up that. You'd have to feel for substantially better loyal players getting two thirds that.

And Jay Clark, who has sources within Melbourne and has broken numerous Melbourne stories says our offer is 750K.
Melbourne prob leaked a smaller amount to make Jake seem less of a mercenary. 750 wouldn't be that far off Crows offer. I'd say it's closer to 850.

Oh yes a conspiracy theory.

Perfect.

:drunk:
Lol. If you guys think managers don't do stuff like that then you are :drunk:. Funny how there was no news on Lever for ages because it's a given he's leaving. But Kelly signed on leaving Jake as the only decent player who isn't staying for less money. Needed some PR work.

Yeah it's not that kind of money. It's a tad less than $750k.

I have no idea what sort of money Adelaide is offering, but at a guess I'd say between $600-650k
Haven't you been saying the whole time that he isn't going to Melbourne? I thought I had seen you say that he definitely won't be at Melbourne?

Nope, just that he hasn't yet confirmed that it will be at Melbourne. They think they're the favourites.

Who knows. Jay Clark who usually has solid Melbourne info says it's 750k per year.
If the offer really is closer to $750K than $900K, there is a reasonable chance he stays at Adelaide, as the differential in salary won't be huge... but IMO the offer is much more than $750K!

The salary is a factor. But wasn't he low balled by crows. I think this really started as he wants to come home.
The low ball rumour has been already quashed by AFC. Ridiculous to think we would offer Lever less than what we just re-signed Milera for. A nonsense.

Jay Clark has sources at Melbourne, he is the most reliable source when it comes to Melbourne.

Sounds like he's pushing Melbourne propaganda.

The Crows have offered $600k. You don't leave if it's that close.

Lever's manager is spinning things, so he doesn't sound like a mercenary. Now that he's the only player leaving solely for money, the manager is trying to massage the narrative.

First it was leaking that the Crows supposedly low balled him, now it's that he's only getting $750k.

Now? It was reported weeks ago that our offer was $750k before both Dusty and Kelly re-signed.

I love how the massaging of the story only works one way... the way that supports the barrative Adelaide are getting hard done by.

He wants to leave, ergo Adelaide has failed to get him to buy in despite the success.

Look within, West Horshamites, look within.

Clark has had good Melbourne mail since 2014. I would suggest that it's the club rather than Lever's management.

It seems from Melbourne fans perspective this is done signed and sealed for $750K, no point discussing it because jay Clarke said so.

Really?

That may well be Melbournes initial offer, Levers management is probably pushing for more, which might be where the $90K reports come from.

Still a long long way to go on this deal, and it's a naive shutting down other media reports based on what you'd like to hear as a supporter. IMO anything could happen, heard so many contradicting reports
