Here:  http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-10-16/trade-wrap-motlop-set-to-stay-at-cattery

"The proposed deal that would send Hawks Billy Hartung and Brendan Whitecross to the Brisbane Lions for one of the Lions' early second-round picks, No.16, No.19 or No.21, is no closer to being finalised and could fall over...The clubs still can't agree on elements of the deal, and one source close to the negotiations expected the proposed trade would be abandoned, a turn of events that would further complicate the Hawks' negotiations with Gold Coast on Jaeger O'Meara". 

Quite amazing if Hawks lose Mitchell and Lewis, take a huge whack in their PR and supporter backlash, then not get there BIG FISH, JO'M.

While its fun to watch the Hawks reputation as smart operators getting a bit tarnished, I'm sad for O'Meara.  He is the meat in the sandwich.

That's the one. Thanks, LH.

Wow! going to have to get Bruce, Neitz and Yze out there because they have no other players.

surely they can't offer him to the Suns and then say, nah you're a required player bud. 

Lewis has every right to feel pretty miffed i reckon.

He put himself there though. If he'd nominated a club with better picks and less salary cap pressure, he wouldn't be in this position. It's a situation at least partly of his own doing. I don't feel sad for him at all.

The article on Lewis also mentioned that the Hawks are, potentially, going to trade Hartung and Whitecross to the Lions for Pick 21, which they will then on trade with Pick 10 for O'Meara.

No pressure on the new boys at all...

 

none at all....

they're spiralling vvvvvv

I just was Facebook messaging the Facebook page - Zanotti Files. He posted a rumour and was very adamant that his sources were correct in saying Rockliff will be a demon. Read what you like from it..

Posted the pics on Might Dees fb group but the screenshots I took are too big to upload so I'll just copy the convo in here 

Me: Hey Zanotti. What are your thoughts on the Rockliff to Melbourne situation?

Zanotti: From our source it's almost done. Lions paying portion of his salary 
The only stumbling block will be if a team swoops in late to pay his full salary and he agrees to go
.

Me:  Ok. Mark Robinson tweeted earlier that he hadn't heard anything. The original rumour came from DemonLand (Melb forum site), and the poster claimed it had come out of the mouth of his uncle who is apparently very close with David Noble, who supposedly said it himself. If you don't mind me asking, who are your sources?

Zanotti: Can't reveal exactly who but it comes from inside Melbourne's 4 walls.

Me: If you had to call it now, do you reckon it'll happen 

he then forwarded me a message that supposedly was from his sources

Zanotti: Just don't release the info until maybe tomorrow morning? Because although Lewis is 100%, Rocky is about 99.99%. I think for the pages sake, wait until tomorrow when rumours start flying around.
But in the end, you're call!

Me: when did you receive the info?

Zanotti: today. Getting an update tomorrow 

Me: how have you had access to these sources?

Zanotti: I'm just someone that luckily has stumbled across some people in the right places.

I then went on about how it could be big for him if he's right, but backlash if he's wrong. He then said - 

Zanotti: 

Haha.. we get the info and pass it on.

Had Mitchell and Lewis spot on.

Considering the source we have we'll at least get an explanation if it falls over..

Comes with the territory though!

 

take what you want from it guys...

The name that blisters the tongue to say it....

Mate, when I'm lying in bed and can't sleep, I lie still and think about Brayshaw running through the guts at the G on a sunny afternoon and hitting a leading Hogan laces out. 

Ive so moved on from that scumbag, his legacy will take us to much higher places.

And then Zanotti went to the court house and got a restraining order against you and Iived happily ever after.

Ha - thanks Jumbo. It's just clicked what the No T$ no B$ thread means (often wondered, but got started on that thread obviously 3 years too late)

Can you let the rest of us know that it means then? :lol:

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
