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.

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

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?

Slob reporting on SEN that the deal won't get done today...

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
