Personally, I think Govs flexibility makes him more valuable. In fact I think he could almost play a J McGovern role if need be.
I think we can afford them, but we don't want to pay what they're asking. Their value to us is below their asking price. I tend to agree for Lever.

Because he didn't want to go, or they haven't offered much?

So you'd pay big overs just to retain Lever??
I'm with the club on this, pay him what they think he's worth and not $1 more.

Are you serious?
Melbourne winning a flag won't be down Jake Lever.... a small part maybe.
And the other side of that coin if Adelaide win a flag without Lever and Melbourne are still in the middle after 3 years??

I will judge all this in its entirety after the trade window closes. If we lose Gov and Lever and dont add an A grade mid them we have ****ed it up. Otherwise, lets see how the chips fall before we make judgement.
There is no point having guys like Hampton, Mackay, Seedsman and Menzel on collectively $1m to $1.5m and not being able to keep Gov or Lever. But if we are adding an A grade mid to the mix then I dont expect us to be able to do this AND keep two of the highest paid non key position forward and backs in the AFL.

So Gov signs for 5 years, Lever goes for top 10 pick and quality youngster, Cameron goes for a top 20 pick, Denzel in and taught to run both ways, Gibbs to come home and mysterious gun mid added to the side.

Wasn't it reported some time ago that he had said he's not coming to SA?

Who will Melbourne supporters blame if they get Lever at the reported $900K and fail to win a flag in 3 years?

Melbourne hasn't had any top end talent to lose. Their list was a shambles for 10 years. Add to that coaches who weren't up to it and a culture that was so far off the mark, they were cellar dwellars year after year for a reason. The AFL took an extraordinary measure to step in and fix the place. No comparisons should be made to Melbourne. Ever. People seem to forget just how bad they were. It's only really this year that they have finally started to show something. A bit soon to be drawing comparisons against them like they are some sort of super power.
On a side note, I noticed in the quiz today on the afl website that there are two clubs who have never "won" the wooden spoon. Us, and the little brother across the road. I thought that was interesting.

Melbourne as GWS and GC will have the problem we currently have.
Melbourne have shit for so long they are stacked with young talent.
Can't keep them all
The reason we are being raided is also because we have drafted very well.

James Frawley I would have thought was top talent at the time, certainly more runs on the board than Lever, landed Melbourne Pick 3 Compensation in the 2014 draft. Comparable with us losing Daniel Talia I'd have thought.

Apart from toumpas who the clowns have taken that's serious talent. Good luck keeping them all.
So who is taking all of our money?

That we may be about to find out after the minor round ends this weekend if the targeted players aren't involved in the Finals...
Smith Lynch Jenkins Laird.
We have a lot of good players to pay. Gotta keep room for Gibbs and Rocky as well.
