I agree. Looking at his disposal it's a little on the Kamikaze side we'd be tearing our hair out a fortnight into the season.

Bang on. I would've thought a young team winning a premiership, with huge parade, GF sweet hearts, crowds, Friday night games ... Would count for something with players. But not. As you say, scratch his name off the list and keep on truckin.

What else can we do or offer than what you've listed? Do we lie to players and say "join the Bulldogs and your reward will be 76 virgins"? We can only offer what we can offer and it's a fair bit.

I reckon we are underselling the lure of playing in blockbuster games at the MCG in the home and away season has on players. Look at Melbourne. They are a joke of a club. They have acheived nothing and will more than likely continue to deliver nothing. But players nominate them. Is it because they have the Queens Birthday game to sell to them?

Genuine bad blood has developed between Adelaide and Melbourne re Lever.

Any chance it could play out that we're suddenly in the frame?

That would make it interesting. With Trengove locked we actually might have enough defensive talls but we'd have to consider it.

Would we be prepared to cough up 2 x first rounders?

Do you honestly believe Lever is worth two first rounders? I personally don't, I think a top ten pick and maybe throw in a player.

Re: Impey trade worth

I couldn't see us giving up two first rounders. However I couldn't see Melbourne doing so, either.

I'd actually be really annoyed if we went back into the frame. To give up even one first rounder for a key defender would be poor list management, given our current excess of tall defenders. I understand that Lever is better than others on our list, but he should not be in any way a priority.

If our first rounder is being traded, it needs to be for a quick skillful outside midfielder. Otherwise it goes to the draft, and does not get used on a KPP.

Tom Browne reporting Impey has chosen Hawks

So do we now go hard for Saad?

No. I wouldn't.

Say we got a first rounder for Jake Stringer? Then we have two first round picks. Would you then give that pick (say pick 11) and Lewis Young for him?

Yes. Instantly. I would run away afterward too.

He got toweled by Townsend, who at the start of the year could not get a game. On Big stage , little return . Second rounder , Adelaide know it, Melbourne have offered.

How the hell managed to get Hibberd

Of course Lewis would go on to captain coach Adelalaide to a hatrick of premierships by the age of 25.

I'm surprised he's not on our radar but losing out on Impey probably means we focus more on Crozier

Yes Lever had only a fair finals series.

Has chosen the Hawks after meeting Clarkson (who'd have guessed)

Apparently felt Clarkson had a good report with Indigenous players.

Re: Impey trade worth

Getting to play and develop alongside Cyril would've been attractive too I'd imagine.
