When is the talent going to deliver is the real question.
Now I'm not going out on a limb saying that the Dees have consistently had better draft picks than the Crows. If you add our draft penalties and lost picks from losing Tippett the gap in draft picks becomes even bigger, yet somehow we have managed to be in the position we are today and your team is still struggling to get into the 8.
Something tells me there is something terribly wrong at the Dees given the talent you have....you've been in this position for a while.
Whilst your club has made progress has it been enough with the draft picks you've had and the talent picked?
Gee, you're going out on a limb suggesting things have been horribly wrong down at Melbourne. Was it the second or third failed rebuild that gave it away ?
But things have most definitely changed since Peter Jackson joined the club and Paul Roos was appointed in 2013.
If you're still an unbeliever that's fine. You're welcome to think what you like. Roos took over the statistically 5th worst team in VFL/AFL history and only 6 players from his first game remain on the list.
If Lever chooses Melbourne it will be for 2 reasons, the money and the list that's been rebuilt over the last 4 years.
He will want success. If Adelaide supporters want to suggest that he is completely money driven and has no other personal ambition then I'd suggest your bitterness is clouding your cognitive skills.
That's not to suggest he's right. Treloar went to Collingwood, but I find it hard to believe that people would think a professional sportsman has no interest in anything other than money.
But people vote for the Greens, so anything is possible.
