Someone mentioned they were discussing Tom Mitchell coming to the Dees on one of the radio channels this morning.

Anyone else hear this?

Haven't heard anything along these lines... and were not really in a position with anything juicy to put on the table for the swans.. Maybe a future first rounder.. But I'd rather hold onto that. Next years talent is looking good.

Yep, agree. More to that, Mitchell is the kind of player we don't need right now. We have enough ball winning midfielders of his ilk.

And they will probably still beat us at the Dome of death.

I would think we'll be playing any North home game in Tassie.

I did read somewhere he had spoken to 1 other Melbourne based club other than Hawthorn, but haven't seen the Dees specifically mentioned.

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.

Lewis is fighting for premiership favouritism for my most hated player along with Ty Vickery... Would be tough for me to warm to him!

Three year deal worth nearly two million dollars. Wells is a good player when fit, but he turns 32 at the start of next year. Add Chris Manye reportedly being offered at four year deal on similar coin and you have a stand-up routine suitable for any comedian in the country.

32 yo gets 3 years for $2 mill? FMD. The world has gone crazy. Bucks should get some tips from The Donald.

That story was "supplemented" a little later on the same program with the suggestion that the player in question is a 4x Premiership player aged around 30-31. I'm not sure who of the limited pool of players fits that criteria. Mitchell and Burgoyne are too old. Perhaps Lewis or Birchall? (I expect Roughead is also in that window but I assume for other reasons it's not him.)

Just asked one of my hawks mates who he reckons they're talking about. He thought it'd have to be Birch out of all of the ones mentioned

Who knows? He's seen us first hand at what we're capable of... Maybe he believes in what we have? 

Won't be long until we find out, I guess.

$$$

Vickery on huge money, Mitchell to be on huge money, O'Meara to be on huge money... If you've got 4 flags, what's going to be your highest priority for the last 2 years of your career?

 

[Red and Blue Flame 191]

Anyone got the link for the rumour file audio?

Jordan Lewis would be sensational for our young on-ball brigade for 1-2 years. Seen as an inside mid but has a beautiful kick, can kick goals, seems to have space in traffic (like Pendles) yet isn't fast.

Wonder if we'd offer a transition to a coaching gig, along the lines of what we apparently put in front of Scott Thompson?

Ahhhh right. That seems to happen a lot. Someone hear's them say Melbourne and they assume they mean the team not the city.

I wonder if we are getting involved with the Hawks and Lewis to give them enough picks to get these trades done?

Tiges getting pick 26 for Vickery compo... We're now out to 28...

 

[Demon Jack 6,930]

Vickery moving to Hawthorn is a done deal. Tigers set to pick up Pick 26 as compensation in the process, moving us back to Pick 28 when including the Brisbane priority pick. Can't help but feel that Essendon will now say that Pick 28 isn't enough and we need to 'sweeten the deal'.

[daisycutter 29,738]

reckon ferals would be pretty pleased with pick 26. has to be overs. 

[Bluey's Dad 3,419]

It'd make things a lot clearer if coverage of movements (especially on radio) used 'Victoria' instead of 'Melbourne, the city', and just used 'Melbourne' for the FC.

'X player interested in a move to Victoria' is clear. 'X player interested in a move to Melbourne' just confuses people.

[Demon Spofforth 289]

Gibbs want to go home to Adelaide. Going to be a big trade period this year I reckon. It's looking like we'll be pretty quiet though.

Next year's second rounder will be the deal IMO.
