There\u2019s plenty going on behind closed doors as the Adelaide Crows try to hang on to unsigned stars Jake Lever and Mitch McGovern, reports Tom Rehn.<\/h3>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really reaching fever pitch,\u201d Tommy told FIVEAA breakfast on Thursday. \u201cAnd not just in South Australia, but particularly in Victoria — what is going to happen to out of contract pair Mitch McGovern and Jake Lever.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe stories, the rumours, the innuendo — it just will not go away.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Latest reports are that Fremantle has offered McGovern upwards of $750,000 a year for five years, while Lever is believed to have met directly with Melbourne. The Herald Sun was reporting on Thursday that Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs are also chasing Lever.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you lose both, they\u2019re your bookends for the next 10 years,\u201d Tom said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMake no mistake: there is a lot going on behind closed doors at the moment. I\u2019m more worried about Lever at the moment than I am Mitch McGovern…\u201d<\/p>\n

Will didn\u2019t take the news well: \u201cReally? Well that makes me very worried because I would\u2019ve thought it was the other way. He gets good mail, Tom Rehn.\u201d<\/p>\n
