List Mgmt. Re-Signing Jake Lever

[threefa9]

Obvious that both will re-sign

 

[The Smith Revolution]

OK. Memo to Adelaide FC. I don't want to know about an opportunity to do something with Tony Modra at the moment (yes we love Mods). I just want the next members email to be an announcement that both Lever and McGovern have re-signed long term contracts and that they are giving a joint presser to declare their undying love for the AFC.

I'm worried about the Lever situation and won't relex until he signs but I don't think McClure would have any sources at all

You're not suggesting that someone in the media would just make something up without any facts to back up their claim are you?

I am shocked that you would think anyone in the media would do such a thing.

There are some you trust more than others. I'm pretty confident that McClure is talking out of his backside. If Caro says it then I'll try to find a tall building

I don't know how connected the media department and the list management area are. So this article may not have anything to do with them resigning or not.

Almost all of them make stuff up from time to time. Sometimes when they are out of the loop they throw guesses out and try to see how people respond to those guesses to try and figure out what the truth is that way.

It's something thats impossible to be wrong on too.

He hasn't signed, so you can talk about him looking at other offers cause it's guaranteed his manager has. Even if/when he stays you just spin it the other way and say he rebuffed those to stick with the Crows.

Sam McClure suggested on SEN this morning that there is more to the lever situation then just waiting for the CBA. If we just have had added in the contract escalators he would be signed by now

Sam McClure can go and get f*****d

I know Sam McClure. He does have some connections, but he also likes to come out with inflammatory comments where he hedges and can't be wrong, such as this, to keep himself relevant. There's more to it than simply Jake waiting for the CBA could mean anything, as others above mentioned. He's barely worth listening to.

He did the same thing with Brouch last year, mentioning that he was looking at big offers and "speaking with clubs" back home. This is 100% true, but is also true for every decent player who comes out of contract. I asked him straight after reading the comments on Brouch last year, he said that he had (or his management at least) spoken to 2 clubs in particular, Hawthorn being the major one, but that he was confident he'd re-sign a long term deal with the Crows, which he did not a week later. Didn't add the last part to his original comments though, because that doesn't get any airtime.

Part of that talking to other clubs is the best way for most managers and players to get an idea on market value for themselves. Then they can go back to negotiate with their own club.

Absolutely, but the media spin it as players potentially looking to leave, because it gets more hits. Sam is good at saying something but saying nothing, and can always claim that he was right.

Sam McLure is Toby Green-esque in terms of having a head you just want to punch

Speak for yourself. The US trip with Cavo and Mods looks awesome.

His pink lipstick is just the cherry on an already punchable cake.

Was someone on 5aa suggesting Brad Scott was in Adelaide talking to Lever? Only caught the last bit.

Would rather lose lever.

Why the hell doesn't anyone target port players, apart from the obvious. Are we that much of an easy target.

We have quality players; they do not.

Interesting comments about Lever and Gov at the 9:35 mark.

Isn't that just cause all club websites are run through the AFL and it automatically posts items relevant to each club?

It's written by Lee Gaskin who does all the Adelaide based writing.

North seem to have been driving a truckload of money to anyone half-decent and out of contract this year.

Maybe Brad has learnt from his brother not to bring the entire leadership group with you when trying to poach a player!

That's not quite true, they were very lucky to hold Hartlett last year after so much interest.
