List Mgmt. Re-Signing Jake Lever

[Teflon Dons]

I asked you what was so magical about 14th? Why do we care that Francis hasn't fallen as far as a pick 14 value?

Have a look at the thread topic? I can't think for you dogs no more questions for you bro.

Have a look at the thread topic? I can't think for you dogs no more questions for you bro.

I was questioning your assumption that Lever's value is still 14. You can argue that Francis' hasn't fallen much, but Lever's has gone up a lot. A lot.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Somebody already bought up Levers knee. Have a rough idea on Levers potential, Francis yet to prove he is or isn't capable. What he did in his draft year would still be relevant due to injuries halting his progress. He's still tall, wellbuilt and a natural footballer. Probably still roughly equal value on the open market this offseason, yeah

Roughly equal value if you throw in a first round pick thanks
FFS even the vic media are rating lever as likely to be the best defender in the AFL in the near future

 

[Vhaluus]

FMD campaigner. I said Lever has shown enough to probably be considered in the top 4-10 range in a redraft, while Francis hasnt shown whether he is a good top 5 or he's not. That's all. I think they still hold similar value.

Who places above lever in a redraft?

 

[Sanders]

Not at all. It just means Tex is doing the right thing. 1.5 mill could be set aside for Gibbs +++

Of course it does

 

[jo172]

Who places above lever in a redraft?

I'd trade him for Petracca or Heeney. If our positional depth was differently allocated i'd have a think about 2 metre Peter.

 

[Sanders]

Depends who they mean by others, if it means Lever, Gov and an elite mid, then it says the rumours are real, if just the first 2, then they aren't.
Rumours Sloane will announce new deal today as well, we are clearly getting ducks in a row for something

Lever & gov & mid is what we had last year

That does account for any CBA windfall

 

[Paladin]

Of course it does

Is this like when you said we would never match Danger as a RFA and Geelong would never trade us anything for him?

 

[Sanders]

I think it says that we had room in our TPP to fill in 2017.

Tex's contract was signed with the looming need to cover a big short term offer to Dangerfield. Hence it is possible a lot of his total contract was back ended. Therefore, we bring this forward to give us room for the next couple of years.

At the same time it helps us send the message that success requires sacrifice, something they would want Lever and McGovern to contemplate in their ongoing negotiations.

In fact if it has been restructured to bring costs forward it confirms we HAVE a war chest (or at least room in the TPP cap atm).

Bringing cash forward is a benefit to the player, how do we spin that as sacrifice?

And we can do that without a new contract

 

[Sanders]

Is this like when you said we would never match Danger as a RFA and Geelong would never trade us anything for him?

yup. It's just like that

Literally.

Geelong turned out to not have enough cap room

Maths is hard isn't it?

 

[Paladin]

yup. It's just like that

So you were very wrong and clueless as to what was actually happening? Cool. Could be the same here.

 

[Vhaluus]

On current performance i would say heeney the lever then petracca

Maybe the spin is public BS to put pressure on other players.

And I'm not sure we can simply bring payments forward or backward at will without a new contract. I would have thought that a contract would include a schedule of payments that had to be adhered to until the contract was voided, in this case by a further contract (however I am not certain on the specific details of contract law).

 

[lincsPJ]

haha "war chest". is that term still being thrown around in here?

all 18 clubs have a bloody war chest.

Maybe we're getting TWO mids this time.

[Pugsley]

Wtf are you talking about bro? I'm out this ***** trippin.

No problem Puff Daddy.

 

[Teflon Dons]

No problem Puff Daddy.

 

[Cleric]

Gone

 

[Danger in Texas]

Imagine if Lever, Gov and CC all leave

Highly, HIGHLY doubt it will happen, but if it does, oh boy

 

[footywedge]

Hate to say it but I do not have a good feeling after hearing that on 5AA... Massively non-committal, life decision I need to weigh up with my partner, never once said something like "get the deal done"... Danced around it and then killed me by saying "at the minute I'm playing for the Adelaide Crows" when Rowie asked about other clubs

 

[Jack is Back]

Gone

IMHO....................Gone.

If not, never play poker with Jake the Snake.

 

[FR0GGY]

Currently on 5aa.
I think he made a slip up and said now the CBA is done we can continue the negotiations.
Did say nothing has been tabled yet "due to his side" requesting this.
Don't be worried if it isn't done in the near future.

 

[Cleric]

Imagine if Lever, Gov and CC all leave

Highly, HIGHLY doubt it will happen, but if it does, oh boy

Turn off the lights, shut the doors and relocate to Tasmania. At least Hamish might relocate.

 

[1990crow]

Massive snake move if he leaves.

 

[FR0GGY]

By seriously he'd have to be pretty stupid to say he's staying if they are still negotiating $
