Looks like Melbourne is that bunny.

I've only seen two games of his this season, so may be being unfair, but based on what I've seen, it's a big no way for mine. Most overrated player I've seen in a very long time.
Go Pies!!

Lever can play and whoever gets him has a potentially 200 game player. Is he worth pick 6? The current Market suggests he is and in saying that the Demons are pretty comfortable that they have him.

Easier said then done!

He looked very, very average in the finals. He was poor last week and got thrashed this week. I can't believe that people were pencilling him in to replace Langdon - he's slower and soft. I do help Melbourne gives up 2 first round picks for him, though, because he's worth about a late second-rounder.
I'm quite happy to back Langdon over Lever.
Hope I don't have to eat my words in 12 months time though.

God he looked physically weak in the GF. Thought he was beaten multiple times at crucial moments. Is a kid, the hype has gotten wayyyyy out of control with him.

Yeah. It's weak stuff when your arm is being held onto in the marking contest and when the opposition player blocks your path at the contest. He needs to play like Cotchin and bluff the umpire that his eye is on the ball when he takes the opposition player out.

Surely we are not offering up two first rounders for Lever.
Happy to pursue him, but that has proven to be overs for any player.

Is he what we desperately need in the side?

I watched the U18 all star game on the weekend and if Luke Davies-Uniacke is still available at pick 6 (which we may have traded) I think we would be kicking ourselves.

Just wondering, is Lever out of contract, in which case he can nominate for the draft if Adelaide doesn't clear him to the club of his choice? That doesn't equate to a situation where a club has to give up two first rounders for him.

FFS no! We must use our first pick on a KPP, preferably a fwd
The match day thread is for unfiltered BS knee jerk reactions. The time for level headed comment comes after.

I know all the talk is about Melbourne, but i'm sure i read somewhere a long time ago that his preference was going to be the Pies...??
Beware the swooping Magpie.

Please Collingwood, do not do this.
This will be this year's "Chris Mayne" decision - two first round picks for a good ordinary player. Just no.
Go Pies!!

Certainly not worth 2 first round selections.

You'd give pick 6 & that's it.
Ohhhh the premierships a cakewalk for the good old COLLINGWOOD

I don't even reckon he's worth that tbh.
We need an absolute gun with pick 6.
We've had some misses with high draft picks in recent years... we need a bontempelli type win this year, via trade or draft, not a top up player.
Go Pies!!

Yeah I suppose you're right re: getting a gun with pick 6

On 2nd thoughts, a late first rounder is all I would give up for him
