Might not be popular point while we are all fired up

But >250k per year to move home , I can actually understand it

Unfortunately it's the new game

Until the talent pool at U18 level is more evenly spread between the states and not 60-70% Victorian then this will continue to happen

The ONLY saving grace is there are 10 Victorian teams so they all scrounging for the trade targets between themselves

Such an imperfect system , it's farked really
So when does the AFC get a COLA allowance from the AFL?

At least when Danger left there was a legit desire to be back home to start a family and it was really a choice between Geelong and Adelaide

Lever on the other hand is purely about money, the fact that he will earn more money then Danger on his next contract is something that I can't get my head around that anclub would offer

Birdman was right in saying that no way is it right thing to do to our playing group to make him our highest paid plyer not just in our current list but probably in the clubs history

Thanks Jake for paying back the faith the club showed in you
the big winner in this is Dangerfield. He somehow looks a lot better in comparison

And to top it off the dirty campaigner threatens to go to the draft in his flogworthy interview with BT. At least he could have let his manager Ned Guy make that threat. I reckon when the players see that they'll be even more incensed.

Didn't see the full interview. The draft comment was interesting. Almost like he would do anything to get away from the club? Or an empty threat?

Now that it out in the open,
I know one thing that is going to Happen,
Lever wants a role in the Media in order to get one he has to be seen as the good guy in this, Leaks which has started will become mainstream painting the Crows as the bad boys in this,
Such as the lowball, walking out of a meeting with Melbourne, Believe there is one in works on how the official treated him coming into play.
Within 2 weeks Lever will have done the right thing and the Crows would be the bad boys, setting up Lever for some media time next year.

The worse thing is a few of our supporters will believe this because the Crows true to their word will not leak to the media.

One Thing I do know the first offer to Lever was not a Lowball for a 3rd year and 3rd tall defender. But to a player and his father who expected the first offer in the range of 500K it was a Lowball offer.
Thanks for the leak!

Interesting pickup from Nixon.. he let it slip thatbthey have put a 4 year contract in front of him, against the rules.
Boy oh boy wowee! Needs an afl investigation and david teague to be rubbed out.. sorry carlton but Triggy set it up in an attempt spite the crows and it backfired.

From what BT said on MMM today I think a lot must have told him to GAGF.
Fair enough, but if they collectively did this the coaches should've realised it was untenable and pulled those blokes into line or simply dropped Lever from the team.

What we did was ruin harmony and end up with a poor finals performance from Lever

If they had 4 clubs the same thing would still happen as long as the U18 talent base is 60-70% Victorian
But less spots to fill the Vic talent so no need to go outside....we have already lost three guns to three different clubs in Melbourne and there are already 2018 rumours of a 4th club for Sloane.

think ive said before that i spoke a couple of times with jake early on when he got drafted and i could tell immediately this kid had so many similar personality attributes to Dangerflog. My gut feel was, this kid aint gonna be here very long. its not a vic metro thing, it a personality thing.
