he played a GF 3 days ago and has already stated his intentions
stringer needs to lift
Yes, you’d expect the trade offer would be commensurate with the contract offer.
RFA/UFA period starts on Friday lets hope we get a decisions by the end of the week on where he is going.
Now he’s stated Melbourne let the fun begin.
$850K a year reportedly.
We’ll have tampering allegations - how did the Demons approach a contracted player?
Adelaide have cracked it, and will at least initially play hard ball to dive the compo up.
Watts doesn’t want to go, especially to a side (Port) further away from a flag.
Unless Melbourne have already planned a significant player swap other than Watts we’re in for a week of scrambling to put together a deal that’ll involve multiple other clubs in draft pick swaps and player shuffles.
Think vultures and carrion.

4 year deal too
No we won’t. That happens all the time and the Crows spent plenty of time talking to Gibbs behind Carlton’s back.

Norf and Pies would want him but do Carlscum need him?
Dees have offered/will offer their 1st and 2nd round picks. Should see the deal done. Adelaide are kidding themselves if they’re thinking they’ll get better than that.
Carlton wont pass on him… Would be stupid to. But it wont get there. Adel talk tough but wont let it get to the draft and end up with nothing.
This ■■■■■ me about all clubs. They all talk tough but when was the last time a club let an uncontracted walk and get nothing because a ‘deal wasnt good enough?’

Lever is a superstar
in the making.
Who got a bath on grand final day from a red headed jobber who’s played all of ~7 games this year.
Bloke’s a long way from being a superstar.

Where “Let him walk” is defined as “were penalised by the AFL for cap rorting and forbidden from trading him”

take a minute to scroll down thier twitter page for a bit, they announced that lever was set to sign with adelaide for two years.
Seriously, twitter is garbage.
Lever’s manager has already spoken about Melbourne or the draft. Given he’s uncontracted, there’s absolutely zero chance Adelaide will pass up on a 1st and second round pick.
