Trade Whisperer saying Tippett won't be moving. Cold water quickly on that one. 

800k for someone to go missing when it counts.

 

I see Ahern has gone to North for pick 69!

Could be a good deal for North if he can get his knee right.

GWS just need to get rid of cap space- ridiculous situation created by the AFL where high quality players are traded for next to nothing.

 

iT'S OFFICIAL...ALMOST!
 

in 2 minutes

LEWY, LEWY, OH NO, AWAY HE GO

 

We're expecting confirmation any minute that Hawk Jordan Lewis has officially been traded to Melbourne.

 

Stay tuned.

Never played a senior game and wont play next year either due to injuries.

Not sure whether I'd regard him as a 'high quality player'.

Probably should've re-worded that. Potentially high quality player.

 

Welcome to the Melbourne Football Club Jordan Lewis.

A mate of mine is good friends with the player manager of Jordan Lewis...

Discussion's between Clarkson & Lewis have already taken place in regards to where his mind's at & what his playing intentions are for 2017 & beyond.

If Lewis does end up leaving the Hawks, the Melbourne FC is where he wants to be.

Well played, source.

Dees-Hawks meeting this afternoon to work it out apparently

It's a done deal. Was done yesterday. Told you all last night.

Be interesting to see who we have coming in....

I always thought the decision on Dawes would be contingent on finding someone to fill the forward/ruck role.

Was thinking more to do with salary cap. Sometimes a like for a like won't always happen. 

 

In 2016, two things have happened to the club that haven't happened for a very, very long time....

1. We were labelled as 'a big scalp' after we were beaten by the Bloos

2. Now, we're the 'destination club of choice' for players

Wow Wee

We also beat the top of the ladder side who were on an 8 game winning streak in the lead up to the finals to keep our slim hope alive.

That teams captain in waiting was impressed...

I will wait until it is official, before popping the cork.

Interesting that if clubs could trade without consent, Lewis would most likely be on his way to the Suns.

Hahahaha!

Pretty sure that is the same page that said Bob Murphy demanded a trade to Gold Coast after the granny and that it would be Lewis for Petracca haha

Prematurely popping the cork has its problems.

Anyone interested in Kurt Tippett for a couple of seasons, on the proviso the Swans pay a chunk of his contract? He fills a glaring need for us as a proven ruck/forward
