FFS. Don't be so petty.  It was a throw away line which was to highlight the appreciation of him choosing us and we taking him.  As an aside, it would not be the first time that numbers have changed between players when a new (and high profile) recruit is signed.  But whatever.  Geez, the sky would fall if the numbers changed and Lewis would be less than genuine if he wanted it.  Wouldn't he?

If it was a throw away line, you should have thrown it away.

Oliver doesn't have slow leg speed.

Had great results in the sprints, 3k's and agility when drafted.

 

Oliver's brain and his hands are so super fast which may make his legs look slower, relatively.  ?

Our speed and outside mid stocks aren't bad:

Lumumba, Hunt, Harmes, Kennedy, Vince, Salem, Melksham, Petracca, Garlett, Kent

we have a few guys who can run and carry and be damaging on the outside.

the thing to remember is that fast runners doesn't always mean fast ball movement, the Dockers have Pierce and Hill but still seem to move the ball quite slowly.

Stretch as well.

Are you excited Big Kev?  Sorry mate, but not my problem if people don't get nuance.

Posters such as 'Drongo Pedantry' seem to forget this is entertainment, and being the killjoy who thinks he's the  validation officer for the CIA is akin to the bore who watches a sci-fi film and loudly disclaims the possibilities being toyed with... 

its tedius.

I think italics may be required or was that sarcasm?

19 for Hibberd for me, can be Melksham's locker room neighbour.

Who gets 31?

That was a certainty as soon as the headlines all agreed it was going to happen today. The media is mozzing the deal.

Chunk or Viney should be playing in 31.

[Akum 2,660]

Wondering if it's because another deal needs to be completed before we can finalise exactly which pick we're going to give?

Look I don't think Trenners is rapt about this trade.

Trengove was extremely fortunate to still be on the list. He will NOT play another senior game IMO!

After 10am.   Was he sober?

[jackaub 1,402]

Agreed Picket who will we keep out for him to play very difficult choice.

Which is a great place to be. 

No more 'who can we find to fill this gap?'

but of course that is a totally uninformed prediction from a supporter with little idea how he will come out of a full pre season and what our injury situation will be like next season.

but good on you for finding a way to pot shot Jack Trengove in a thread about Jordan Lewis.

He's officially requested a trade. We've got him lads

LEWIS REQUESTS TRADE 

 

Reports this afternoon that Jordan Lewis has officially requested a trade from Hawthorn to Melbourne.

[rumpole 515]

A possible reason that it won't get done today is that there could be a three way trade which might help Hawks get O'Meara which might take more time to put together.

 

[What 18,810]

I am going to go ahead and consider this a big fish.  We are back people.

Surely the Dees just want to get in and out as quick as possible and not get wrapped up in the JOM situation.

[Redleg 40,928]

I think someone posted the real reason it is being stalled. The Hawks want to announce O'Meara at the same time to lessen the criticism.
