You're nothing like your username sake. He was a front foot sort of guy. You are possibly one of the most negative posters I've come across. Come on, Walt. Dream a bit.

Had a good yarn to Lewis at the Sorrento pub last night, with a mutual friend. Tried not to bother him at too much length about footy but he's EXTREMELY excited about starting with the club and

Lewis was my neighbour until a few years ago.  A top fella, who has an extremely sharp football brain.  Even in our darkest hours, he insisted that I stick fat as he was sure there were good times to

Are you being sarcastic? That is the same BS spin we hear from clubs when a player asks to be traded.

"They are a required player."


"As far as we know they haven't spoken to anyone."

 

"He has not sought a trade to CLUB."

Not saying it's a surety but if you think it's done and dusted based on anything Hawthorn has said, you obviously haven't been following AFL for very long.

Unless Lewis and his management explicitly say, "We are staying at Hawthorn", it's a chance to get done.

The most obvious part of this is the lack of talk from Lewis or his manager, if he wasn't keen on a move he'd simply say that's the case and end the speculation

I'm a Dees fan. I've had optimism stamped out of me over nearly 50 years.

Can I use this for the Demonland Banner. Too soon?

Nah.

Plenty of premature conjecturators around here. It'd just be representative of our wider community!

Seriously though, who DOESN'T look good in our jumper? Best in the league IMO.

Yes, should be a fourth rounder at best. He's only got 2 years left.

But if he 100% wants to leave and the Hawks 100% refuse to deal we might have to pay overs

The Hawks know it would be a terrible look to try that after letting Mitchell leave for peanuts; I doubt they'd turn it into a PR nightmare.

Barrett reporting that Liam Pickering, Lewis' manager, was meeting with us this morning.

Edit - they also say that Lewis is still livid with how everything has gone down and it's line ball where he plays next year.  Could be sensationalism, but still gives credence to the idea we are an outside chance to get him.

Why would Lewis be meeting Melbourne without any discussion with Hawthorns list managers though? He's wanting to be sold on coming again? Not very familiar with trade talk formalities, what would they be negotiating?

Contract terms you'd assume. You wouldn't want to agree to a trade and then find out you're being paid half as much as before.

It was reported that he had agreed to contract terms with Melbourne yesterday or before. The dees had the contract drawn up ready to go before the Hawks decided it was a better view while back flipping down the road.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
