Agree and who knows we may get value----was not Goldy a 60 or 70 pick

That worked well

No IMO let's keep our powder dry early doors

Adelaide recruited Lever with about pick 30 from memory. And they end up with a player they can trade for two first round draft picks. We should be trying to achieve the same with our draft picks. Instead we seem to go into reverse, picking up a player like Freeman with a first round pick and trading him for a second round pick.

To my mind, only potential match winners deserve the swap of a high first-round pick.

Lever is not a potential match winner.

Our issue is kicking goals not defending them so it makes sense that the club goes for a backman.

Lever was pick 15 - he slipped from top 5 due to injury concerns.

I like our backs. Lets get a Forward via the Draft. Plus Mclarty looks the goods.

Agree with others Lever is a fine player but doesn't fill our needs. KPP, running back or crumbing forward.

From the age this morning

The Crows will not let their star go cheaply though. They will demand two first round picks for Lever, with Melbourne in the box seat to secure him. Collingwood are also in the race for Lever while the Bulldogs have diverted their attention to Port Adelaide tall Jackson Trengove.

Clubs pursuing Lever will try and lower the Crows asking price with other possibilities including a combination of a first round pick and a player, or a second round pick and a first round pick.

Melbourne currently hold picks 10 and 27 in the national draft but could trade a future first round pick too.

Lets be completely honest here. The failure of the Freeman pick was down solely to injury. This injury was not part of his history and came out of the blue. We were right to trade him as at the time the club could not see a playing future for him. Despite the best efforts of the A'ints, nothing has changed.

We would be insane to go after him at this asking price.

We always want a bargain pick, this one smells like a a loss for us if we gave up 2 x first rounders.
No way is he worth that. Alex Rance ...probably yes.

Isnt Lever a more third tall/intercept marking player type defender anyway?

We have Scharenberg, Langdon and Howe for that type of role.

Id even look at putting White or Mayne down back and try and get some sort of value out of these two.

So for me at the very most its... 1 x first round pick, I could live with that ...just.

However a dominant tall that could play down back or forward would be real good and by the sounds of it, this draft will give us that.

I would trade Fas and work a 3 way deal to get Stringer in.

I believe in giving people second chances and if ever you could get a bargain that would get us an edge on our list, then this would be it.

Stringer is having problems in his personal life and if that gets sorted with help from us, then he may just repay us in spades. After all its not like he is an addict or drug dealer or killed someone....is it? ....IDK..

This is what the Cats gave up for Danger.

The Cats have given up young midfielder Dean Gore as well as picks No.9 and No.28 to snare the superstar midfielder.

Danger as demonstrated last weekend is a match winner and is now a Brownlow medallist.

Can the same be said for Lever who is essentially a backman?
