That's match winner coin.
He's a gun defender, but he ain't no match winner.
WCE find themselves in a predicament list/cap wise.

If they pay a cent more then they needs their heads read.
Compensation? 1st round pick.
They may be better off in the long run by letting McGovern and Gaff go, and buying back in to the 2018 draft with 2 x likely top 10 picks.

Not a match winner? Clearly not watching enough WC games. If it wasn' for McGov we would have lost countless games over the past 2 years. And if he can improve on his swingman game he is definitey work the coin.

I'd be happy for the crows to pay him $1m for 5 years. We have plenty of dead wood / depth we can remove to fit him in the cap

He is a match saver, which is just as good as a match winner. Especially when you can blow a winning lead like WC.
No changing your opinion, not gonna bother arguing

Not quite, but I acknowledge that he is elite in his position.

He is our best player and has won us more games, than anybody else on the list that is still fit. Maybe only Shuey or Yeo have put in the same rare match winning efforts (excluding NN).
The guy is a big game player, he takes match saving marks and can even kick a clutch goal. Super aggressive and nails opponents at important times in a match.
Don't bother arguing
If you had the cap space, why did the Crows match Melbourne's offer or get close to it?
The first offer to Lever from the Crows at $300k per year and he went to the Demons for $700k per year. That does say that you have lot in the cap?
McGovern will get $800k with the Eagles, teams will need to pay $1m per year to get him.
I really like your list and so does the other 17 clubs. Sloane will have multiple Victorian clubs offering big money, Rory Laird while being SA is quality needs to be resigned on good coin, and Tom Lynch is pretty good as well and out of contract.
Last year you signed Gibbs and Mitch McGovern on pretty good money.
Walker, Betts, Crouch brothers, Smith, Talia, and Jacobs all signed but are ex, current or future All Australians.

Do teams get two compensation picks?

The issue with Lever is the club refuses to pay overs for potential. They have a tier rating system that dictates their pay range. Lever wasnt in the top tier of players and so wouldnt get paid the same as Sloane or Tex for instance.
Now thats something they have been criticized for and they may need to change.
They would rate JMcG top tier and would get offered a big contract.
Wasn't that thrown out the window with the Jenkins contract?
You would hardly be paying for potential with Lever, he's been bloody excellent the last 2 years!

The pick is based on the 'net' ins and outs of the FA period, so if for example you lost both Gaff and McGov on 5x $1m/y deals, I'd expect you would get a couple of firsts which would equate to a start of first rd pick (ie pick 1). If you then secured Rory Sloane (hypothetically because we all know he will sign shortly!) on 6x $1.3m) then you net drops
It's never happened yet and the AFL will need to make up another policy on the run when it does

Still we don't pay the top players enough and probably overpay thelower end which is why we secure Cheney, Hampton, Seedsman, Graham and Lowden types each year.
Ot works if you are towards the bottom of the ladder and need to boost depth (eg Melbourne under Roos with Vince, Cross, etc) but at the top you need elite players to stay
