Michael-Angelo Rucci reckons if Lever goes, it's too us.
After what happened with Hurley , who knows ?

They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
Im keen on Lever who looks to be a player that can play both ends of the ground its just a matter of price. He isn't a gun defender yet, there is still question marks about his one one one capability, I noticed last night the crows had a kid playing on Franklin so I'm not sure I'd be giving up 2 first round selections( Hurley is worth 2 first round selections). It will be interesting to see what we are willing to give up but promising signs Michaelangelo is linking him with us at this stage of the game.
Looking most likely as having pick 9, or pick 8 if St Kilda jump us.
A small silver lining. Now get shopping JMac. Lever, Kelly, Kruezer & Matera covers some areas.

We might as well finish 11th now .Lever, Kelly let's have a crack
Kelly and Alir. If we cannot get Kelly then Lever and Alir.
I don't think we can land Kelly with a top 10 pick, we would need to cough up next years pick as well but we might something back
That would be a massive financial and list management investment
I'm not sure what it would take to get Lever.
The real consideration for the club is if they genuinely believe the 2017 season is an aberration or if we will need a couple of years before we become genuine contenders again? Based on what I've seen this season it might not be a quick bounce back.
Huge decision to make.

Whatever it takes for Kelly
I'm in the Kelly camp if its a choice between him and Lever.
We need a skilled mid who can help connect our forward line and who can help take the load off Bont. Right now its a no brainer for opposition coaches as to how to shut us down : Stop Bont.
But i don't think we're even in the convo for Kelly.
I can say this if we have another off season like last where we failed to address key list weaknesses its likely to be another frustrating season.
Why not have both?
Let's put someone of value up to get both.
