That was before the finals.  They lost in straight sets and finished 5th and had pick 14 to prove it.  Next you'll be telling me the Dogs finished 7th?

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

Pressure definitely building on them to perform a second backflip, not sure you can keep a player who doesn't want to be there.

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

Yes

What source?

Allegedly a two year contract was agreed too by MFC and Lewis, and

 

HFC and MFC had agreed on our third round pick

Hawks have now changed their minds

The trade as previously agreed in my view is cheap...... even considering he is 30!

We will see.... but my confidence is increasing.

2nd hand, but has some form. Won't guarantee it but as I say lets see.

Heard this about an hour ago....some kind of pick and player trade.

A guy that works in media not connected to clubs

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

 

They were one non-65m Fitzy goal from 7th lol

I love this if it happens. He will bring much on and off-field and the belief his defection will bring to the back of our players minds will serve them well. 

Ok, I'm about to get sacked, anyone else getting any work done? Which player is involved from us in this proposed trade?

And one 30m Smith goal from top 4... (If you're talking post-finals ladder, who does that?)

I know it's very hard for you Stuie but "Sorry I was wrong"  will do your personal growth a world of good,

None it's only a draft pick at this stage...

 

It will be up to Lewis forcing HFCs hand. 

 

Otherwise we get him as a free agent next year

Todd Viney - the gift that keeps on giving:  " It's understood Lewis' link to the Demons stemmed from a strong relationship with former Hawks assistant and now Melbourne player personnel manager Todd Viney. Lewis mentored Viney's son, and now Demons star Jack Viney during Jack's days playing in the TAC Cup:  . http://www.theage.com.au/afl/hawthorn-hawks/afl-trades-2016-hawthorn-say-jordan-lewis-wants-to-stay-despite-melbourne-hopes-20161014-gs2lnm.html

Its almost like Lewis is one of the Dees family!

Sorry, misunderstood the some kind of pick and player trade statement.

Incomplete sentence.

Yeah. This season was utterly bizarre, considering round 23 decided where 1-7 would finish

The rumour is pick or picks and player trade, not simply a pick for Lewis...

There is a clear and present danger that Hawthorn are flipping this deal to get overs, now that its becoming more likely. I hope we're not too desperate.

Edited October 14, 20168 yr by DominatrixTyson

Well let's give O'meara to TWSNBN....

I get the impression that the deal will happen, but the Hawks (in particular Graham Wright) are trying to turn the deal so it looks like Lewis has done the wrong thing by them. Doubt they'll be able to do that, but the Hawks are all about trying to save face on this before they'll allow the trade.

We've all been here before.

We had to learn how to get over our hatred of Gary Moorcroft during his memorable 4 game stint at the club, circa 2003.

Still hated that [censored] when he played for us.

Yup, but i strongly suspect Pickering and Lewis are leaking quite a lot of this to put pressure on the club, clearly there is quite a lot of bad blood starting to emerge which is a shame when you consider Lewis is nothing short of a Hawthorn legend.
