Wow you threw me there, thought you said "being interviewed by Barret", did he actually ask anything intelligible? Think Todd Viney had massive influence on Lewis moving

Yeah I was gonna say Barret-the-[censored] as that seems to be usually what follows... but this time I don't want it turning into a Barret thread. Too big of a day for MFC.

Welcome

About that crack about being an arrogant thug with a bald spot......

[Satyriconhome 10,878]

My take on the whole thing

Lewis had end of year interview, Clarkson said couldn't guarantee a regular starting place as he wanted to start the regeneration of the midfield and also couldn't guarantee a new contract

Also asked if Lewis was open to a trade to the Gold Coast as part of JOM move

Lewis thought hmmm, think I have a few years left will have a chat with a few people

Todd Viney straight into his ear after clearing it with Josh Mahoney

Lewis a Melbourne player

Why do we need your take when we've heard how things transpired in the Lewis press conference? BTW, your take isn't even close to reality.

And why do we need your take on his take?

This is a forum. He can post what he wishes as long he's on the subject.

You're not. If you don't like a poster put them on ignore.

Thanks.

What an outcome though. Mahoney is absolute jet at this caper.

Serious question: I know Mahoney is the head of football and the spokesman during the Trade Period but isn't Viney the list manager? Would he really have to clear things with Mahoney?

Josh does a good job but he's our administrative guy isn't he and as part of that he might have a list plan, but Todd, Jason Taylor and then Goodwin should be in charge of actually picking the players to draft or trade for?

Wow. Lewis on Trade radio being interviewed by Barret. Someone find the link, in the meantime I'll paraphrase.

"I see Hawthorn of the early 2000s in Melbourne"

"Knowing that Hogan signed, that made it clear what Melbourne's direction was."

Ipso facto... Hogan signs, people want to come to the club.

 That is massive.

Spot on, Hogans signing so important.  Thank you Jesse. One thing builds on another. 

[sue 9,106]

Sounds like MFC beating Hawthorn had some influence on him too.

Viney clearly a massive influence. God I'm glad he returned to the fold.

Just my opinion on Mahoney, but being head of the Footy Dept would assume he would be at least consulted, it was a left field that nobody saw coming, assume he had signed off with Goodwin the initial trade week plan

Also mighty glad that he went somewhere else first, though!!

 Associations with Viney and Goodwin will have been largely responsible for our last three poachings (once Hibberd is done).

And for the record Melksham has been talked down a lot, but he will be a very important addition, in the prime of his career.

I reckon with both Mitchell and Lewis being traded, Clarkson was looking at a complete regeneration of the midfield, we are now getting straight bats to questions from the media, why would Lewis start looking at alternatives now if something along those lines wasn't said, unfortunately none of us are in the inner sanctum of Hawthorn to know exactly what is going on there at the moment, although their twitter feed and the replies to some of their tweets has some interesting and colourful suggestions as to what is going on from Hawks supporters
