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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    This is a huge win.

    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.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?
