Is it true Lever did it by phone, pretty weak if true

I think Crow fans have a right to be pissed at Lever after he openly stated that he wanted to be a crow for life when he signed.

Yep agreed. The Crows can be pissed about a system that allows a 3rd year player to choose a new club, and the barrel they're held over as a result, but last I checked all 18 clubs were vulnerable to the same thing.
At the end of the day the club should be pissed with their own inability to yet again handle the situation. The rules aren't different for the Crows, all clubs face the same threat. It's the responsibility of each club to either lock down the players they want to keep, or trade them and get something worthwhile before they find themselves in a position of little to no leverage (pardon the pun).

Yowser. It's on.
Does it explain Saturday's listless performance? I dunno, but it can't help.
And, how will Adelaide fans view another favourite son, Simon Goodwin, after all of this?
