List Mgmt. Re-Signing Jake Lever

[NikkiNoo]

Yep, Roo is going to admit we lowball our players.

I know that Bicks isn't the person to listen to anymore. He is there just to push the station's agenda and he will do that because that is his job.

Interesting as up until now Pyke has swatted away any questions about them re-signing. Wonder what his reasoning is to suddenly start talking about it.

The longer this has dragged out, the less confident I feel about it... particularly Lever, who appears to becoming up with different reasons why he hasn't signed. Could be part of his negotiation technique, but feels more like Dangerfield not wanting to say the truth. Hopefully, I'm wrong.

They've obviously had a big team meeting and said enough is enough . JJ hosed down questions the other day and got on front foot and now Pyke

Time to focus on finals

 

[Schulzycrow]

Are you kidding?

This would be David Noble and co if we were to demand Brisbane's first pick for Charlie Cameron

Cameron has been in our system now for about 4 years and has not yet taken the next step and the jury is out whether he will ever take the next step.

Honestly I am not even that fussed if he leaves, realistically the best we will get for him would be Brisbane's 2nd round pick.

That's what they should be saying. It what we'd be saying too when they are asking before the season has even finished in a radio interview. Pyke's slap down was warranted.

Why can't we sell the dream?

Hawks and Cats were able to get people to sign for unders and keep their teams largely together, with most players turning down the big offers from elsewhere.

Almost a pact between players, driven by who? The club? Senior players?

For whatever reason we've retained an every-man-for-himself element with it being common even for 'loyal' players like Lynch and Jenkins to test the waters deep into the season.

I'm curious about this too

We managed to hold together McLeod Goodwin Edwards and Ricciuto without much fuss

 

[Sanders]

I agree, but there is a degree of right place right time about it.

They were all good players when they left and have continued to be good players after they've left, but none really developed as they may have if they stayed here from an individual sense (comparing Davis to Talia, Gunston to Lynch, Tippett to Jenkins etc.)

Again, Dangerfield the exception.

I don't know how you can say that

Davis Gunston and Tippett all became better players than they were with us

How was their development stunted?

Tippett' became an outstanding ruck/forward, easily the best of his kind in the league. Just couldn't stay fit.

Gunston became much better than most imagined

And Davis I think was overrated from the start but he left so early he's not been held back.

Have just been told that Lever and McGovern are signing 2 year deals.

all Sa boys Sanders it is a lot easier to hold them than those with links in Vic.

He was right about us chasing Jeremy Cameron.

By a credible source?

The Hawks see Burton as a key plank in their next Premiership contending team.

You are correct, there is no way on gods green earth would they contemplate trading Burton.

Plus they just extended his contract by 2 years.

Doesn't seem to mean much these days to have a contract. Just means the club can't get rid of you if you are playing crap.

I think there is a bit of wishful thinking there. SA boys like cash too

Heard the same about Gov atleast. How confident are you in your source mate? Fingers crossed. What a lift that would be on the eve of a big finals push.

How?

It's never been confirmed we were and he didn't break it the original rumour

Ok see you back here in a couple years then

 

[Schulzycrow]

Adam Treleor, Josh Bruce, Taylor Adams, Dom Tyson, Tom Boyd, Caleb Marchbank, Lachie Plowman, Will Hoskin-Elliott, Jack Steel, Cam McCarthy

There's a few of the 30 odd players that GWS has lost over the last few years.

A lot of clubs including Adelaide circling players like Josh Kelly, Jacob Hopper and Devon Smith this year.

Also still got a zillion first rounders still on the books.

 

[NCHammertime]

Hopefully with two flags under our belt

 

[Sanders]

So your not going to give Franklin any credit for the fact that the umpires robbed the shit out of Sydney and handed the Bulldogs the flag?

What childish nonsense

 

[Cromulent]

Hopefully with two flags under our belt

Three*

You don't know that at all.

Stick to planet earth

 

[GreyCrow]

AFLTradeLeaks hasnt broken it so I dont believe it

 

[Chief Crow]

If Lever requested a trade to pies I would hope for something like Lever and our 2017 1st rounder for pies 2017 and 2018 1st rounds.

No pesky Vic GF's ruling their roosts.

Cameron mentioned it himself in an interview.

A mate knows someone who is closely connected with the club. He told me about Matt Crouch's re-signing before it came out and something else that escapes me. Time will tell, but I am confident that he has only passed on what he's heard, whether his mate has got the good oil is something that I have no view on. The result of this will help in that regard.
