Well considering he is kicking to the most potent forward line of the past two years, that is more what I was getting at considering how abysmal that area has been for us lately. Just throwing it out there though, as another potential element to the trade.

Anyone worried that if we trade for Lever they will ask for Lewis Young (along with a 1st rounder)? He is from SA and would be their instant replacement for Lever. Obviously, it would be ridiculous if we did that trade, just think they will push hard for him to be included.

Adelaide would ask for Bailey Williams.

I'd be happy enough to part with Williams and our first for Lever.

I don't mind the kid but let's be honest we got him for like pick 50 and there's no guarantee he will be anything more than a handy player.

Put me in the camp of happily parting with Bailey Williams and our first for Lever aswell. I think both teams do well out of that trade.

Hope these poor blokes aren't reading this... Being traded like sides of meat.

I'll fight everyone if bailey Williams is steak knives in a lever deal. Dude is going to be a BEAST.
Guys I'd trade ahead of Williams:
Dunkley
Collins
Clay
Webb
Dale
And I'm a massive dunkley fan.

What has Williams actually done at AFL level apart from show glimpses? JJ has a Norm Smith and is one of the most damaging half backs in the comp. Bailey Williams was a wild card pick who might be great or might do nothing or something in the middle.

If any of our players ever read BigFooty they'd probably end up in an institution.

Or time off with depression
If Adelaide hypothetically asked for our first and one of Caleb Daniel, Lewis Young or Bailey Williams for Lever...I'd be saying my goodbyes to Williams without much hesitation. CD is one of our most important players. We're not going to trade the first promising key position player we've drafted in forever. Bailey Williams is probably going to be good, but those two are more important.
There are others I'd get rid of ahead of Williams, but just if they wanted one of our Adelaide guys, I think Williams should be the one to go.

Think Williams will be good. Lever will be a ****ing gun.
You have to be willing to stump up to get a quality player in.

I'm not shipping anybody off. If they approach and convince a player to move, so be it - but I wouldn't push to move anybody on. Prefer to move picks.
The question of who we can most afford to let go out of Young, Williams and Daniel is just not relevant though. If Adelaide ask for any of them, we can say no and offer them a picks only deal. If lever says he wants to play for us, we'll be able to get him in a picks only deal.
Think we have to remember Adelaide got a 1st rounder, 2nd rounder and Gore (worth maybe a 4th Rounder?) for Dangerfield.
I'd say Dangerfield is worth a fair bit more than Lever so talk of a 1st rounder and one of our young up and comers is too much.
That only changes if one of them asks for a trade back to Adelaide.

Why not just ask Dan Talia for some inside info? He has a family connection to the dogs
I'd say he's worth the same as Lever considering the age difference. 1st and 2nd rounder seems right to me.

I'm going to choose not to read any messages posted before this if we're (on BF) genuinely considering Williams as a trade candidate. That's just insane. You would have to be out of your mind to want to trade a 20 year old with that much natural poise from <20 games. 100% agree that he will be a beast, as you put it, and with your list. Although at the same rate, if we trade Dunkley, Collins or Dale I will be devastated.
