FA & Trade Whispers

[DeeZee 7,359]

Imagine Jordan Lewis having a chat with Jesse Hogan and showing big Maxy where to hit it.

All anyone needs to know about Goldy is that he is still a top 2 ruck.

Crikey. Hawks fans have an inflated sense of Lewis' trade value!

Some fans want to trade #10 and a VFL player (Litherland, Langford, Shoenmakers) for O'Meara too, as if their VFL players poop smells good because they're Hawthorn.

Raised my eyebrows when one of the articles named him as THE premier ruckman in the game. Last time I checked a fellow with a big beard and wearing red and blue got the nod over him. 

Would be an incredible turn of events for the Roos if they lost Goldy as well, lucky for them he's contracted for a few years because otherwise they'd be in a lot of trouble with him. 

Just on a totally different note in the same article I noticed Mitch Brown from West Coast is looking to return to Victoria, how does he stack up against Spencer for instance? I literally know nothing about him but just saw his name in the article so thought I'd throw it out there.

Great family club Hawthorn.....

... they've just sent Father Sam west ,.... told Uncle Jordan they don't need him round..... sent rumours flying about Cousin Luke and Little Brother Billy........ protected money- grabbing foster kids Big Boy and Chip ..... cleaned out the back shed for Father Sam's estranged son Tom ..... and to cap it off are redecorating the master bedroom for a stranger who knocked on the door looking for a doctor and asking for money......

.. which of next season's free agents will be their next captain?

Brown plays KP, not ruck. I'd certainly look at him if we could get him for a second or third rounder. A bit more experience for our defence, but does have some injury history. If our docs pass him for fitness, I'd take a punt for a lowish cost.

He's a free agent. Pinched hit in the ruck a couple of times this year but certainly isn't his go. Could be ok defensive depth for free (but might want a 2 year deal). I don't think we'd be interested unless we could move on Dunn and/or Garland.

[Pates 9,633]

Cheers A F and DeeSpencer, doesn't quite sound like what we would be after then.

Heeney's exactly the type of guy I'm hoping we make a play for at the end of next year. Agreeed though, not sure if we will since we never seem to include ourselves in these conversations.

Next year is next year.... surely Mahoney and co have something in the works, otherwise the Hibberd deal would be done.

Tippet makes sense, and I'd be all for it. 

Seems odd that we aren't publically looking at hrovat, stevens, lyons, motlop. They'd all have a spot on our list IMO.

Maybe seems odd, but is that because that is exactly what the old regime would have done?  Our current mob are far more professional.  Still waters run deep.

How about a straight swap Ollie wines for Jimmy Toumpas, should get it done.......aaah sheesh, hang on

I suspect Port would demand that we take Toumpass too as part of any deal ☹️️

Lewis is still in play, Pickering on SEN said discussion is ongoing with both clubs.

He also said he will do what Lewis wants. Ie if he wants to stay at Hawks he will, if he wants the Dees (and can agree on a contract, Hitchy saying we should give him 3 years) he could end up there. He was trying very hard to give nothing but said enough. 

It may not happen at the end but interesting times indeed.

[Bring Back Barassi 552]

If Pickering says its still in play, that basically means Lewis is a Dee.

This is a huge win.

[Redleg 40,472]

Poster on the  No T$ thread, that's right the No T$ thread, said the Lewis deal is nearly done and he will sign with us in the next couple of days. 

Said the info is from Warrnambool way and  that is Lewis' family home area.

 

[Ethan Tremblay 30,510]

Lewis will be a Demon. 

Hawthorn losing Mitchell and Lewis in the same trade period is glorious.

(not to forget, the signing of Vickery for $500k a year)

I think he would be a good pickup he would give us a bit more strength while our younger fellows mature. I think he could give us the sort of experience that bernie has given us since coming over. Obviously this all comes down to price, how much is it going to cost it dollars or trade goods.

Can you pass on to Osilik, that Josh Mahoney sends regards from his holidays, where he is lying on the beach in the sun, doing nothing.

You'd think after last year the Os fella would have learnt... He should be banned from commenting during all future trade periods.

He was trying to be very circumspect by saying Lewis as a contracted player is still likely to be at the Hawks next year, but it is still feels like Lewis wants to move.

Sounds to me like the deal is not quite done, but that Lewis wants it to be done. That would make it highly unlikely for the deal not to get done

Will be a three-year contract. Hopefully the last will be performance based.

Averaged 26.4 disposals and four and a half tackles last season. He'll be a welcome addition.

Did he also also comment on the Tom Scully to Carlton rumour? They're getting every other GWS player.

Steve Quartermain on Twitter suggesting Lewis coming to MFC on a 3 year deal. The clubs are now haggling over draft picks.

Concerns me so much what we are going to be paying. Mitchell was essentially 88 because all parties agreed. With Hawthorns backtracking we have lost a lot of bargaining power and I worry what we will give up for an ageing star. I do want him in, but just want us to be cautious.
