But a man of his size and weight he should be destroying packs and hurting prick's that stand in front of him but he never does he is always that guy over the top in can't be a set play from pikey surely. And when its His turn to run through the midfield we just don't win our clearances its just my opinion.

Free agency is great, but before that time players should be traded without their consent too, as long as their contract requirements are met


100% agree
The players have ALL the benefits of free agency
Need to implement the full model


agree on this - I really hate how FA is at 8 years yet a player can "nominate" his club of choice and then its up to the clubs to get that deal done.

Lever will come out and say he wants Melbourne because of big coin, he is a third year player. If he wants back to Melbourne then the Crows should be able to trade him to any club that gives them the best offer. He then negotiates his contract terms with them.


Yep, agree.
In the NFL most players are 21-22 when drafted to their clubs for 4 years (club's option on fifth for first-rounders) and expected to play almost straight away, but the player doesn't even have the assurance he'll make the final cut before his first year. In the AFL system, with players drafted younger, unless the cream, many take a year or two to find their spot, so in Lever's instance he has really only given the club 2 years of full service.

One of those wanky twitter whisper pages reckons Carlton have sent SOS and Judd to visit him.


Deal. Happy to get him.
