List Mgmt. Re-Signing Jake Lever

[adelaidecrows]

Awesome news. With Lever out the way we can focus on securing Mitch

 

[John Who]

Great young lad is Lever. Speaks like a leader. Plays like one too!
Just wanted to give flashbacks to that game against Sydney in last year's losing Semi-Final. Lever had played like a beast until he got injured. This year he's taken it to the next level. Born to play this game of footy.

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

5 year deal ☺

That is freaking awesome if true.

 

[FR0GGY]

Now lever is staying Mitch will want to stay, wait till he hears kelly is coming too.

Now lever is staying Mitch will want to stay, wait till he heads kelly is coming too.

I haven't doubted Mitch wanting to stay, it's just a matter of what is greater. Family and cash in Perth or potential success and loyalty in Adelaide.

Anything on Mitch?

The family and cash will always be there, he's only a baby still. I reckon he will stay.

 

[BunjiMac]

Skill, determination, heart, football smarts, PRIDE.

Without question the next captain.

 

[MRB37]

My feeling too, but I'm guessing he'll take a 2-3 year deal if he does stay.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Anything on Mitch?

Nope, sorry.

 

[Elite Crow]

My feeling too, but I'm guessing he'll take a 2-3 year deal if he does stay.

Yep and it's a smart play. 2-3 years is nothing, he's seen as loyal, he can see the opportunity here in that period, we will also be paying him good money and then he gets the obscene contract next time.

Me doing a search on BF for 'Lever', then reading other teams boards discussing getting Lever...

 

[Cleric]

Smoke, fire.

Nah, you need to know the difference between clubs making offers (which always happens) and players putting contracts off till the end of the year, while buying houses interstate and every journo saying they are going to leave at the end of the year.
Danger vs Sloane.

Quote: "The negotiations are over half way done"
You'll stay?
"Absolutely"

He didnt say the negotiations are done. He said the CBA was over half way done from what I can follow. The next question straight after that was rowie saying "Has anything been tabled yet" and Jake says "No."

I know we totally do but so far all i've found is way to inappropriate........

 

[Sanders]

If it really does turn out he's staying on a five year deal, it will show how the market has been changed by increased player power

Clubs don't want 5 year deals, and it's starting to look they're becoming fairly standard

Yeah I know how it works.

What you don't get it the players who leave have numerous articles written about them because they've remained unsigned for the whole year. The club gets named eventually too. The story dies when they sign, if they leave all speculation throughout the year becomes prophetic.

It was playing out like that with Lever.

If he was still negotiating with the club over the next couple of months the stories will have more meat on them.

He's had just as much leaving talk in the media as McGovern to date.

At years end if McGovern leaves I wonder who will have more correct stories written about leaving? Hmmmm?

 

[Danger in Texas]

Lever possibly locked in for five years, that's great news.

Next captain

True but if you are giving five year deals out, best to do it for a 21 year old...not so much a 28 year old
