List Mgmt. Re-Signing Jake Lever

[hey shorty]

And I would say this has a bit to do with Tex and his new deal. Generally the clubs know before the media so they would know these offers are coming.

 

[hey shorty]

If he leaves we better stand our ground Lever is worth more than a 1st round pick.

He's worth about 3 of them to us.

 

[Cleric]

I can just see it now. They offer us their first, we take it, and then hand it along with our first to Carlton for Gibbs. They would then come out and say how awesome they are for getting the mid we have been missing.

Stop it, JR might be reading.

Would it be worth us asking about Libba in a deal we need midfielders.

 

[hey shorty]

Nope, Bontempelli would do.

They can throw my membership in with that deal.

Load of waffle

 

[Scorpus]

Big, unrealistic offers coming from other clubs mean Jake is very close to resigning with the Crows.

Happens frequently.

 

[Mr Kitch]

With us playing the dogs on Friday night, this has an odour of rodent about it!

I want to believe.

 

[Crowstar]

800k per year, he'd be stupid not to take it and good on him.
We'd need a player and their first in response.
Depending on where they finish (hopefully outside the 8) I'd consider Kieran Collins and pick 8ish

 

[Scorpus]

I want to believe.

It's pretty rare to hear about enormous offers from multiple club mid season for a player that goes on to leave.

But offers for players that sign within a couple of weeks? Happens all the time. Sloane, Brad Crouch, Jenkins, etc. just from our club in the last few years

 

[Elite Crow]

We're idiots then. Absolutely mind boggling idiocy if we let Lever go for that kind of deal.

Who the hell are we paying all our money to if we can continually lose top end talent and not be able to afford to keep a player as soon as they get a decent offer? We must have a massive middle section where we're over paying a huge group of very average players, but that system doesn't work anymore.

Menzel Hampton and Seedsman would all be on decent money to get them to choose us.

Douglas wouldn't be cheap and he's in decline.
Mackay is Mackay.
Thommos is paid to play SANFL.
The list goes on.

I'm so sick of losing talent or big players in our team

How much did we give JJ?

How much did we give JJ?

525K, though he did have offers of 700K to move, so he obviously wanted to be here. Doesn't sound like Lever is wants to think about doing the same.

 

[19thcrow]

How much did we give JJ?

Around $550k a year for 5 years. JJ doesn't deserve a 20% on top.

 

[ZEV]

Isn't he at the same age tracking similar to Rance was?

He's clearly a talent that is only going to get better. He is a must keep unless the club is prepared to add to its reputation of losing players.

Way better and more effective than Rance at the same age.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Chanel 7 reporting bulldogs offering 850 plus per season for 5 years....

Boyd taking a pay cut?

Thought they are struggling to for JJ under their cap...

 

[Bicks]

Jake Stringer is playing like a player that needs a change, he'd be my starting point.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

IF Lever was to go (god forbid) what would we an appropriate deal?

 

[Vhaluus]

Jake Stringer is playing like a player that needs a change, he'd be my starting point.

I know he does spurts in the midfield.. can he do it full time?

If not I don't think we need to stack our forward line any further.

You and reality are distant acquaintances aren't you

 

[19thcrow]

3 way deal Lever to dogs J.McGovern to crows JJ to Eagles.

Menzel is the only one that would be on decent coin of the 3 newbies IMO and he has clearly been the biggest under achiever when it comes to supporters expectations.......starting to look like a bust if we use his form since he joined us as an indicator.
