Jordan Lewis would be sensational for our young on-ball brigade for 1-2 years. Seen as an inside mid but has a beautiful kick, can kick goals, seems to have space in traffic (like Pendles) yet isn't fast.

Lewis has always intensely annoyed me . But all that would be forgotten if he joined the dees.

As you say he is a bit slow, which given we need some pace, is not ideal but most of all we need good ball users and in particular terrific kicks. With our game plan (well all i guess all to be fair) elite kicks are critical. Being a lefty would also assist and i have no doubt that we have followed the hawks' lead by looking to recruit lefties.

Now there's a club who's midfield can't take the loss of a player like Gibbs.

I would take Langford in a heartbeat, especially as we should get him at a fairly cheap price.

Hopefully the Hawks have good short-term memory and look after us given we did the same for them when they acquired Fitzy...(yes, that is sarcasm).

Langford no better than ANB

He's contracted until the end of 2019. Not sure what it will take, Carlton will want something like Adelaide's first pick (13 I believe) and a player, maybe McGovern.

Does that give us a chance of beating them in 2017?

Melbourne has left Etihad Stadium after meetings with a number of clubs, including the Brisbane Lions and Essendon today. 

There was no deal completed to secure Michael Hibberd from the Bombers, while the Lions made inquiries about defender Lynden Dunn.

Demons football manager Josh Mahoney said forward Chris Dawes did not attract any interest on the opening day of the NAB AFL Trade Period.

It'd make things a lot clearer if coverage of movements (especially on radio) used 'Victoria' instead of 'Melbourne, the city', and just used 'Melbourne' for the FC.

'X player interested in a move to Victoria' is clear. 'X player interested in a move to Melbourne' just confuses people.

Considering the constant speculation surrounding Mitchell moving to Hawthorn, you'd think a comment like "Mitchell is moving to Melbourne" is pretty easy to decipher.

Unless of course you've been living under a rock for the entirety of 2016.

Do not rate Langford at all. Played one good game in the Grand Final against Sydney, other than that wouldn't really improve our list at all.

I'm guessing Ess are waiting to see where out 2nd rounder ends up before the argy bargy begins over Hibberd.

it could end up being in the low 30s.

Like every other deal Essendrug has ever done they will string it out till the last in an effort to get the Maximum.

Bit harsh. I was half asleep, but I thought for a moment that was what they meant too.

And now Deledio has asked to be traded to the Cats...

Seriously, Richmond and their players seem to love making themselves look silly, coming out publicly three times in the last 2 weeks and rubbishing rumours he was leaving. 

straight swap for Motlop?

Doesn't seem to be .. Richmond apparently has no interest in Motlop.

Smart move by Gibbs, can't see Carlton playing finals any time soon and Adelaide would be a chance for top 4 with him 

and a better chance without him!!!!    

 

The cost / benefit ratio of deal may not be that productive

Yes,  Our 2nd rounder this year is likely to end up being a pick well past 30 when free agency and academy/fatherson selections are factored in.

They want his salary out of their cap, so that won't happen.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
