Out: 48 and 66
In: Lewis,  57 and either 68 or 70

Seems reasonable to me.

We've still got plenty of delistings to come and have to give Jason Taylor something to work with. Can't lose 48 outright and not have a 2nd pick in the draft until the mid 60's when we need to get at least 3 or 4 kids in.

Lucky pick 57.

Was that the pick we've used on T and O McDonald? or was that 53?

I'd be very comfortable with that.

Another one like that would be handy! he's a bloody good young player

I thought that Muslim martyrs were rewarded with 57 virgins. But apparently it's better than that: 72 in fact!!

Heinz used to have 57 varieties. I know they made tomato sauce, and various soups, but I suspect that 57 may have been gilding the lilly

I'm looking forward to Lewis clotheslining O'Meara at some stage next year, you know it's going to happen.

Pretty hard to do when O'Meara's sitting in the stands. ;)

Kid's a jet cruelled by injury.

I hope he gets back on the park but plays shitty games every time they play us.

This is a big picture move, we have two areas we need to improve that are far more important than pace at this stage of our development (given we have some quick outside  runners already )

we lack leadership and experience, this could go a long way to helping us beat teams like Carlton and Essendon when we're not switched on right away and take us from 10 wins to 14-15 and 10th to 5th sort of thing.

Also important is the "landing a big fish"/"destination club" factor. 

Hopefully this leads to more stars wanting to come in the future.

So where does he actually fit into the 22?

Take the team below for argument's sake:

B: Frost  O Mac  Jetta
HB: Hibberd  TMac  Hunt 
C: Salem  Jones  Stretch
HF: Petracca  Hogan  Watts
F: Garlett  Pedo/Weed  Kent
R: Gawn  Tyson  Viney
I: Oliver  Brayshaw  Vince  Melksham

Who goes out? Melksham's name sticks out but he's just been brought in, and it isn't to play at Casey. The rest are either mainstays or young players for whom games at senior level is now very important.

I'm in favour of getting him on the cheap as we lack leadership and experience but I'm interested in logistics of where he slots in with his attributes. Granted there will always be injuries but we had a decent injury run with our midfielders last season.

He plays before Kent, Melksham, Garlett and Stretch

Don't forget that if he does join us, he will no longer be a beneficiary the (wink, nod, nudge) Hawthorn MRP / tribunal immunity pact ?

Of those only Melksham would play in a similar role, Kent and Garlett are small forwards, while Stretch is on the wings. From the team P-Man put up, which I think will be close to our best 22, I'd say Lewis comes in and there'll be a fit for the last spot between Melksham, Oliver, Brayshaw and Salem. potentially by the end of the year Vince might be in that group as well. Good problem to have really, all those guys are very good players and will only get better. My only fear is that we'll lose a decent player in the next trade period because there not getting enough opportunities.

Only if we begin winning games and are viewed as a successful club playing finals.

LEWIS MOVEMENT?
 
Melbourne officials have been spotted at AFL House.
 
That would suggest the Jordan Lewis deal might be about to be signed off. 
 
We'll keep you posted...

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
