How far would Lever + our 2017 first get us towards Kelly in a 3 way trade? Assuming he were to nominate us. You would think that gets us a fair way towards getting that hypothetical trade done. May have to throw in our 2017 second as well.
If we can't afford lever, how would we afford Kelly?

If i had a choice, id rather trade for no one and just keep Lever McGovern and Cc

What we are willing to pay Lever and what we can afford are completely two different things

Can't be too upset. People on here have said for 2 months that he is gone.
And from Don's body language he knows he's gone too, actually if the truth be known I reckon Don's pissed right off that it's taking the focus away from the team and the Finals.

If Nth Melbournes offer is real, would the crows be able to get close to that? We can offer Lever the same and backend the contract for a few years til the time for Tex and Sloane to retire of near the end of their careers

I watch stuff all lions games. But i know what kind of player he is. Is he doing a good job as a forward/mid?
Considering he is carrying a shoulder that keeps popping out I'd say he's doing pretty bloody well, given he's a player that doesn't shirk at a contest.

Why would/should they, they know what he's worth to our team structures and paying way overs what they assess his value at is dumb list management.

We should pay Lever what he is worth and at this stage that is not $900k a season no matter how they structure it

Rightfully so Lever should not be the highest paid player at our club

Hey Bicks
I diidnt say we should. All i said we if we cant afford Lever, how would we afford Kelly?

I'd sooner pay Kelly $1.2 Mill than Lever $800K+, only one of them is a game changer and it's not Lever. i.e. Kelly's value to our team>>>>>>>Lever.

What's the chance lever requests a trade but doesn't advertise his nominated club as favour to crows to get bast value ?

That aside melbourne previously were offering good value for danger (pick 2 and 4 was the rumour, also offered big money for Mackay) so clearly they are prepared to cough up big (well, more fairly than the cats).

I suspect they will offer us jack watts plus a first round pick, which wouldn't be that bad, based on our needs. We don't over pay lever and then roll the cash into a prime midfielder.
Why would a player want to hurt their new club?

Funny how the teams we have to trade with never seem to have a top 10 pick. Gonna happen again from the looks. Still hoping he nominates Collingwood
