Agree with this, Crows took the risk on Lever and deserve to reap the rewards.
Was a very astue pick at 14, particularly because there was a local KPD Durdin available, but Crows backed there recruiting team in and its going to pay off.

Victorian trying to say that Mornington > Barossa.

We are the kings of this.
Our supporters always saying we really need to get SA guys (after a Gunston, Tippett and Danger left), but the recruiters are great at finding gems and/or underrated guys.
Matt Crouch in the 20s is another.

Heathcote the best of Vic. But nowhere near a bold Barossa or Claire Valley Riesling.
Like comparing Shuey to Danger. Similar attributes, but I know who I'd prefer.

Lever will remain a Crow. Equally obvious as Sloane and Lynch were in recent years. Likely to be announced some time between the bye and Round 16.
McGovern is the one we will really struggle to retain this year. There is no doubt in my mind that we should've traded Jenkins for a high draft pick and thrown some of the spare coin at McGovern. Elite leap, elite hands, elite speed for his size, elite forward pressure. Rare combo. Jenkins is hugely overrated, especially in tight, contested games (ie finals).

Was terrific on the weekend.
29 touches (20 kicks) and 11 marks at 82.8% in horrible conditions.

Our back line has been holding up quite well so I imagine we've cooled on him a bit. Would love him but it's not quite the time to invest in something so expensive. Perhaps in a couple of years this would have been incredible when Dunn and Reid really begin to expire. We need to target forwards.

Going to be way too costly to trade for him, probably shouldn't even bother.
KPD isn't as much of a need as KPF for us. Would rather draft the best available KPF from this year's draft.

No we are not.

Uh the afl listed players play SANFL. It's nothing like an academy. You are special aren't you.

Heard Melbourne are/were into him too. Apparently was a big Melbourne fan growing up and has family ties to the club (unsure what exactly). But he's an exceptional young talent, I'd be more surprised if Victorian clubs weren't into him.

Yeah the same way the GFC AFL listed players use the VFL, and more specifically the GFL and local footy divisions as a feeder to test local talent in the VFL Cats and thus the AFL Cats system as they play the same methodology.
Its like using the resources in your own backyard to assess local talent, in your own gameplan, without having to draft them. Try before you buy if you will.
Who's the special one now?
Maybe if your lot spent their time being a bit smarter and using their resources available to them instead of complaining about what you don't have, you might actually get some players that dont want to go home every few years.

Are you seriously comparing SANFL top-up players to an academy?
