I shall add to the chorus.  Great news.  Really rate this guy.  Have enjoyed watching him on AFL 360.  Hope he continues on there next year - in his new livery, of course!

Go Dees!

 Barrie. If you are happy with him then so am I.

Is this real life?  Thank you to    and

Can we get a Josh Mahoney one soon too?

Awesome news. The article on the MFC site is a liitle spine-tingling.

Stay tuned ...

[beelzebub 22,225]

truth is, ...he just couldn't wear any of those disgusting away jumpers for them anymore. Who can blame him

Welcome to the Red and Blue Jordan )

I don't know where to begin in regards to naming the positive influences Lewis is going to have at the club and on our playing group.

I mean aside from his playing ability, think about the boost in energy levels, inspiration and general performance Nathan Jones is going to have just by being in Lewis' presence whilst walking up the race onto the G.

He will make Jones a better player and not only Jones. Our entire midfield brigade and team in general will walk taller.

There are a multitude of positives to this acquisition and I want next year to start already.

Not to mention the boost to membership drive

Straight in the leadership group?

Without a doubt.

I wonder if a co-captaincy with Jones could be on the cards.

Another great thing about this trade is bringing inside understanding of the Hawthorn playing method and composure late in games.

[M_9 1,659]

I hope he retains his spot on AFL360. I enjoyed Roos' contribution and seeing our colours on Show every Monday. 

[monoccular 16,074]

Only just dawning what a genuine coup this is

- 4 time key premiership player 

- vice captain and likely heir apparent

- current B&F runner up

- chose us above all others

- increases competition therefore hunger for positions 

- experience in winning close and important games

Well done recruiting team and list managers.

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 come for the MFC, in the not too distant future.  I am rapt he is now part of that future.  There is nothing but positives in this acquisition.

At last I can stop checking Demonland every 20 mins and get some work done. This signing means a few things to me:

1. Strong leadership during games at important hinge/momentum times, something we lacked in so many games during Roos era.

2. Josh Mahoney and crew - a pay rise, a free case of Australia's best Shiraz, and a new contract until 2026.

3. Lewis does not solve every list issue we have, but it is an incredible boost.

4. I am  not a fan of "destination club" thinking, but he had a choice of 17 others so that says a lot about how other teams see us.

5. Personally, I could not stand Lewis' onfield demeanour as a footballer, despising his thuggery and bullying. Something tells me I am now going to love it coming from a Dees jumper. 

6. This will be the longest pre-season ever.

Clayton Oliver should become his shadow

Obviously an absolute steal. Good to see the club take its time. Hawthorn no doubt wanted more than peanuts. We give them peanuts. They give us a runner up best and fairest in a top 4 side. Thanks.

Can't find better?  I think what I love about the Roos and Jackson ones are the utter smugness on their face.  The Goody and JM ones don't have that impact on me.

Sorry!

It is nice to hear someone say things like this after many years in the wilderness. And to think people think Roos did nothing for this club!

Surreal, fancy anyone saying that about the MFC. Feeling proud!

Anyone else we can take off your hands Hawks?

Gees if we get Hibberd now we look good. Add Melksham, Hibberd and Lewis into the squad and competition for spots dials up to 11.

With this and the Hogan signing I couldn't be happy with the clubs handling of the off season.
