CP not up for trade. BS on that one.

My word is that the odds have significantly shortened in the last few hours. In our favour. Jordan has one foot out the door. Hawks working hard to undo  a likely exit. 

Fingers crossed.

Any idea what gets the deal done GNF?

will the Hawks budge if he requests a trade officially?

jake niall's take on it: Demons still keen on trade despite Hawthorn backflip

 

sounds like lewis is ropeable.

Hello [censored].. I see Demonland has fallen of the cliff since my departure so thought id get this joint back on track.

 

SEN 1116‏ @SENNews

Rob Waters has told @SENAfternoons that Jordan Lewis wants to leave Hawthorn and his manager is speaking with Melbourne now #TradeSENtral

 

 Rob Waters Brother in law is non other than Lewis manager Liam Pickering!!!!

So Hawks need points or picks or both to beat TWSNBN to O'meara

Crucial:

Hawthorn receive picks 10 & 68 from the Saints, in exchange for picks 23, 36 and a 2017 1st Round Draft Pick

Ah hah, all coming together now. So their source was Pickering himself.

Who knows, they have just done a deal with the saints which I think was all about pick swapping.

WALK JORDAN, WALK !!!!

That's... an interesting trade. Obviously their 2017 first rounder wasn't enough to satisfy Gold Coast for O'Meara.

Not sure who really wins that trade though. Guess the Saints are backing Hawks to drop out of the 8.

Lewis is livid that the core group of premiership players took significant pay cuts to stay together and Vickery and most likely O'Meara are strolling in on a base salary of 500k p.a.

That's enough to make any loyal servant see red. Gone in my opinion.

Pick wise it's a big win for the Saints, they give up 10 & 68, and get back (probably about) 14, 23 and 36.

what does this mean? apart from helping them get o'meara, does that mean lewis is more likely to leave? or not related?..

It definitely means they're more likely to get O'Meara and IMO that increases the chances of Lewis leaving.

Hawks without S.Mitchell and probably Lewis.  No Roughead back.  Hodge, Burgoyne and Gibson another year older.  They miss the eight for me.

Mitchell, Vickery and O'Meara in too... Hard to gauge, but wouldn't think they'd miss the 8 after finishing 3rd

Huge risk from the Hawks if they get a couple of injuries and drop off Freo style and misss out on say a pick 5-6

There is a agreed trade should Jordan walk to us.  We are not paying overs. 

Rumour is the deal is already done for Lewis to come to us, not sure if the source is accurate but lets wait & see.

Are you saying the Hawks and Dees have agreed?

They finished 5th and the curve was down - from R20 they went 2-4 with a 1pt miracle over Collingwood.  The tide has gone out at Hawthorn - Clarkson, Mitchell, Lewis and I know it.  You' just haven't got there yet.

The deal was sealed before Hawks backfliped after unprecedented board intervention (AKA Dee's 2012).
