Welcome Jordan ??

Hurrah hurrah it's done 

I give Olisik about 10 minutes to start complaining that we've only done the one deal so far.

Haha they all are this time of year! I think the regular guys are on holidays and they rush these out for the fans.

Kinda has a bit of turtle about it...

 

" I looked at every Club in the competition and after going through every list, Melbourne was the one that stood out – if I wasn’t going to be at Hawthorn. It was clear to me that I wanted to play for the Melbourne Football Club" Jordan Lewis on why he joined Melbourne from MFC website.

It is nice to hear someone say things like this after many years in the wilderness. And to think people think Roos did nothing for this club!

Fantastic deal for the club in every respect. Welcome to the club Jordan, I'm really looking forward to seeing you in the red & blue jumper next year.

I thought he had a bit more bulk. Looks like half the kids we used to draft.

That gives me tingles.

Welcome Jordan!

4 time premiership player, ex vice captain of the most dominant team of the last decade to help lead our young blokes to the next level.

That's a handy pick up.

Wooooo this is great! Welcome JL

We probably got a skinny model to pose for a stock photo for all our new draftees etc from 2006 onwards.

 

I resisted posting until this was real. This is a fantastic result for the club. Lewis as well as being an incredibly high quality footballer is a leader and will become the on field coach we so need. Great work from all involved and a big welcome to the MFC Jordan   

Will become only the second Melbourne player to play 300 games.

I've been watching the bloke in the bottom right for the last 7 minutes hoping someone would just high 5 him.

Absolutely stoked with this this, Lewis has been a champ for a long time, hard at it and classy player. Yeah he's getting towards the end but still has some good footy left particularly considering his 2nd half of the year and Qualifying Final game. Jones will be rapt to have someone to help shoulder the load while the you'd mids come through. Guys like Oliver, Brayshaw, Petracca, Viney will love having a guy around to learn from who has walked the walk.

Seems bizarre, we picked him up for a late-40's and late-60s slide of 11 places in the draft in total!!!

Wow! 

 

Tick! 
Now let's finalise those deals for Hibberd, Fyfe, Rockliff, Tippett and Zac Dawson by Thursday deadline and I'll be very happy

This is a better photoshop from the AFL.

While his true value won't be measured in games played, he's played on average 22 games since 2005, incredibly durable hopefully that remains while imparting that experience he has. 

Great get for what is the equivalent of pick 61.

That's called a "High ... Nah [censored] it we'll just hug it out"
