FFS. Don't be so petty.  It was a throw away line which was to highlight the appreciation of him choosing us and we taking him.  As an aside, it would not be the first time that numbers have changed between players when a new (and high profile) recruit is signed.  But whatever.  Geez, the sky would fall if the numbers changed and Lewis would be less than genuine if he wanted it.  Wouldn't he?

If it was a throw away line, you should have thrown it away.

Had a good yarn to Lewis at the Sorrento pub last night, with a mutual friend. Tried not to bother him at too much length about footy but he's EXTREMELY excited about starting with the club and

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

Oliver doesn't have slow leg speed.

Had great results in the sprints, 3k's and agility when drafted.

 

Oliver's brain and his hands are so super fast which may make his legs look slower, relatively.  ?

Our speed and outside mid stocks aren't bad:

Lumumba, Hunt, Harmes, Kennedy, Vince, Salem, Melksham, Petracca, Garlett, Kent

we have a few guys who can run and carry and be damaging on the outside.

the thing to remember is that fast runners doesn't always mean fast ball movement, the Dockers have Pierce and Hill but still seem to move the ball quite slowly.

Stretch as well.

Are you excited Big Kev?  Sorry mate, but not my problem if people don't get nuance.

Posters such as 'Drongo Pedantry' seem to forget this is entertainment, and being the killjoy who thinks he's the  validation officer for the CIA is akin to the bore who watches a sci-fi film and loudly disclaims the possibilities being toyed with... 

its tedius.

I think italics may be required or was that sarcasm?

Slob reporting on SEN that the deal won't get done today...

That was a certainty as soon as the headlines all agreed it was going to happen today. The media is mozzing the deal.

Wondering if it's because another deal needs to be completed before we can finalise exactly which pick we're going to give?

Look I don't think Trenners is rapt about this trade.

Trengove was extremely fortunate to still be on the list. He will NOT play another senior game IMO!

Which is a great place to be. 

No more 'who can we find to fill this gap?'

but of course that is a totally uninformed prediction from a supporter with little idea how he will come out of a full pre season and what our injury situation will be like next season.

but good on you for finding a way to pot shot Jack Trengove in a thread about Jordan Lewis.

A possible reason that it won't get done today is that there could be a three way trade which might help Hawks get O'Meara which might take more time to put together.

Surely the Dees just want to get in and out as quick as possible and not get wrapped up in the JOM situation.

I think someone posted the real reason it is being stalled. The Hawks want to announce O'Meara at the same time to lessen the criticism.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
