Melbourne payed through the nose because they obviously felt lever was the last piece of the puzzle for them..
So it doesn’t matter how good the player is, it’s how desperate the club is to land them? Tell me, why would Adelaide be able to pay a single first, for arguably the most valuable ruckman in the comp, who is under contract, and is his current clubs MVP? Because of what he’s currently being paid? Please....
There’s no need for the abuse and childish responses you then serve up in you’re next few lines... if you can’t have a conversation without resorting to abuse your probably best not saying anything at all. I was simply giving my opinion on how it doesn’t add up, I could care less if you agree or not. So I’m not gonna bother responding to them.
Make a less stupid statements and I’ll give you more mature answers. Seems like you’re using it as an out because you’ve been taken to school on player value though.
Anyone that thinks the suns are gonna let him walk for a compo pick is dreaming... it will be the death of the club if they don’t fight for every last drop they can get out of it if he leaves. They’d have more spare money in their cap than any other team in the comp so they will match any offer that comes in.. so the club he wants to go to will have to pay a massive premium and won’t have a leg to stand on if they then turn around and say he’s not worth much in trade value (both picks and players)..
We shall see. There’s every chance that they’ll regard the opportunity to get both the King brothers at the club as far more valuable than two picks in the teens.
just my opinion but like I said... if the suns just accepted a compo pick for him and didn’t fight tooth an nail for more they’ll struggle up here to retain the already tiny supporter base they currently have. It’s the reason they fought so hard to retain ablett.. QLD AFL support is currently on life support.
Your definition of ‘more’ is interesting. Once again, you seem to be valuing all firsts the same. I’d regard pick 5 in this draft as far more valuable than pick 12 and a probable pick in the teens next year, and that’s assuming that his destination club isn’t Richmond, who’s picks are likely to be much worse.
Who knows he may decide to sign up with the suns for another year or two on massive coin and then leave as a UFA to a Victorian club on another massive deal after that..
Unlikely. He’s mentally checked out already, you can see it in the way he’s playing.
