It's amazing people are questioning where Lewis fits in our best 22.

He finished 2nd in the B n F of a side who finished the regular season in 3rd spot and missed a prelim final by a kick. He's played in 5 grand finals and won 4 of them, while also winning a B n F in a premiership year and also getting All Australian honours.

I will tell you where in the best 22 he will be, most likely in the first 5 picked.

Questioning how he fits in the best 22 isn't the same as questioning if he's in the best 22. My post was quite clear in asking which players get squeezed out. Thankfully, some provided constructive responses.

It's worth nothing that Hawks fans who watch him every week aren't as enamoured with him as you are. Yes he's a player with the credentials you mention, but he's also a fairly one paced midfielder. The type of player we have a lot of already.

Of course I'm happy if we get him (as looks likely), he'll be a good pick up. I apologise for not blowing my load over it.

    Of course Hawks fans are going to talk him down when he is leaving, it helps ease the pain.

    People on here were talking up every one of Hogan's faults when they thought he would be leaving.

    I understand what you are saying, however we are talking about a guy who has been ultra consistent and is a genuine leader.

    No offence was meant.

    Doesn't appear so. Article says he has signed with the dees but a trade will be sorted later today. So as long as a trade can be done then it is done. Late pick is the mail.

    Finally! Now as per Olisik those slackasse recruiters can stop mucking around and get on with the Hibberd trade.

    The contract part is sorted, still the small matter of organising a trade it would seem.

    I'd say it will be done with relatively little fuss.

    I reckon the Hawks know they've [censored] up and they have no choice when a champion of their club decides he is off.

    Well done to the FD, no leaks no fanfare just getting the job done, he will be a beauty for us, hope he sticks around in a coaching role afterwards.

    Couldn't be happier.

    No worries.

    I'm not just referring to the aftermath of him leaving.

    I don't think his consistency has been amazing in recent times. He has certainly experienced dips in form. I am a little surprised he finished 2nd in the Hawks' BnF. That says something about a Hawks midfield that was ranked 18th in the league for contested possession this season. They got fortunate with results during the regular season and were found out in the finals.

    But I digress.

    No-one is a bigger advocate for injecting some on-field leadership into the group than me. It is largely for that reason I'm keen on getting him. He also strikes me as someone who will want to prove a point and finish his career strongly.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
