Wow what an exciting day! We still havnt made any trades.

So how's Hibberd looking? Hopefully we get some progress on that soon.

I would have thought today would have been a nice slap in the face for you, you have been critical of the lack of movement during trade week and Lewis had agreed to a deal without you even knowing a thing about it, surely that should make you think the club has this covered and appreciate the fact that we don't leak is a really positive sign

    Get a monkey.  Now give it two bottles of vodka and wait for him to drink it.  Now discuss football.

    This is the equivalent of olisik

    That's what I'm thinking also.

    What an absolute joke. 

    The fact that he stayed after a meeting with the Hawks would suggest that he got what he wanted. 

    Very poor behaviour.

    You know everything that happened, do you?  You are supremely quick to judge without knowing all the facts.

    are you agreeing, or disagreeing with my post?

    Agreed, this is all based on sources, who knows what could happen

    It's not so much what could happen, but what has happened.  In the space of a few hours there was all sorts of info being thrown around - nobody knows what was said in the meeting, what sort of deal we had on the table, how committed Lewis was or why he decided to eventually stay at the club he's been at all of his career.

    To suggest he 'used' us and it was 'poor form' without knowing any of this is just plain silly.

    Is there any chance of it still happening?

    Was it a club statement from Hawthorn or Lewis himself? I wouldn't be writing it off by any stretch.

    No idea to be honest.  I think we'll know more tomorrow.

    It was from Hawthorn, not from Lewis.

    Yup, it's gone from Lewis approaching Melbourne, actively seeking us out, having multiple chats with club officials, getting to the point of negotiating a suitable deal and then backflipping which to me suggests he might well want to come but the Hawks won't budge. 

     

    P.S i reckon the Whisperer dude off Twitter is Grant Thomas trying to become relevant again.

    You all doubted equalisation, it's working. 

    Hawks bring in some young guns, and sprinkle their premiership pensioners around the league...

     

    On a serious note, I hope it's true. Too much is up to Viney and Jones. Tyson is inconsistent. Adding Lewis shares the load and allows the kids more time to develop properly rather than be relied upon too early. 

    I doubt it'll happen, but it'll be nice if it does. 

    Gee Tyson gets a bad wrap around these parts. As if Viney isn't just as inconsistent if not more so than Dom.

    So basically some PR to quieten the masses. Replacing Mitchell and Lewis with Mitchell and O'Meara will have most Hawks fan relatively happy. By Round 1 next year they will have gotten over it.

    Viney has won a Bluey already and missed out on another one by 1 point. At 22. That's 2 pretty consistent seasons if you ask me. 

    Tyson takes half a season to find form.

    One sentence is correct and the other sentence is the opposite of correct.

    Yep rightio move on.

    Tyson's recruitment was a masterstroke. Fits like a glove in our developing midfield. Any slow 'finding of form' is related to injury, which he carries like a Premiership contender!

    They're two completely different players though. One extracts with a classy poise, another rams through the opposition full throttle. They compliment each other well. Tyson almost redeemed his 2014 year this year but would need another superb year to solidify his place in the team long long term. Let's face it though, Viney has the tough game style and name that will never ever see him going anywhere.

    The first part of Viney's season was terrific and then he faded badly when other teams worked him out and he picked up a few injuries.

    Tyson started slowly and by the end of the year was our best player behind Gawn IMO. 

    Neither player strung together a consistent season, but I'd argue Tyson was more consistent.

    Tyson is great. Viney is great. End of discussion

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
