Jake Lever has been granted his wish to join Melbourne after the AFL club agreed to send two first-round draft picks to Adelaide.

The Demons will receive star defender Lever, draft pick No.35 and a future third-round selection in exchange for their No.10 draft pick and a selection in each of the first and fourth rounds in 2018.

The 21-year-old Lever informed the Crows of his desire to return home to Victoria two days after their grand final defeat to Richmond.
