Break it down to each club's perspective. Switched Rockliff with Hanley since he is apparently going to the suns so that makes more sense for this deal:
Melbourne:
IN: Lewis, 24  
OUT: Dunn, 28, 48
GC:
IN: Rockliff Hanley, 2017 Haw 1st, 23 (form Freo) 
OUT: O'Meara, 24
Brisbane:
IN: Dunn, 28,
OUT: Hanley
Hawthorn:
IN: O'Meara
OUT: 2017 1st, Lewis, 23

Brisbane is a horrible loser in that deal. I like the thought and its not too far off but. Somewhere you would need to find more for Brisbane to agree to that. 

Depends on how much Brisbane wanted to move Rockliff on.  If they were as desperate as some indicated and if GC are as recalcitrant as stated regarding receiving a first class midfielder then they both get what the ultimately want.  

This could then be sweetened in a separate deal over Hanley

Note: the trades required to create a win for Brisbane, Hawks and GC don't exist so they find themselves in a position where they have to give a little bit to get their desired result.  Melbourne could orchestrate a separate deal for Lewis without significant disadvantage - in essence the Dee's are being rewarded a little by being the circuit breaker for the other clubs

Why would he be there when all the club officials are in Melbourne?

Did they just give him the keys to the facilities and tell him to have a look around?

Seems pretty far fetched.

Maybe he's applying for a job as a "Check-in Chick"...??

Just imagine the benefits to Nathan Jones captaincy and our leadership across the board, lewis would just offer so much on so many levels, the on field leader/coach we've desperately lacked.

Would Vince hold his spot in 22 with Lewis around?

Yes, but i think Vince is falling down the order of our mids a bit, he's still good enough to be very dangerous on the outside and a long way off falling out of the best 22, but geez he's handy as a 4-5th midfielder

Hawks could be saying, look if you're really want to go then have a look at Gold Coast  to help them get Omeara across and we will pay part of your salary.

It's all the intangibles Lewis would bring, the experience, leadership, training habits and an insight into the Hawthorn will to win mentality that would be invaluable to us.

That and an ability to hit a bloody target

And what exactly is the benefit for Lewis here?!

Sounds a bit too like our HL deal with Collingwood!?

Haha very true. Unless the Gold Coast are willing to chuck a heap of money his way (doubt it), I don't see the benefit for him to uproot his family and move to the GC.

I'll lay it on the line and say I reckon we've got him.

Would be very hard to look across the change room as a Premiership player and there's that uncoordinated clown Vickery on more coin than you. Bridge too far.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
