Are you hinting at Dunn for Swan?

    Interesting how perception about a footy club indeed any organisation can change very quickly. For better and for worse. Sometimes it's one major thing, sometimes an accumulation of a lot of things. In our case, it is evident that we have a good young list, have coaches and managers who are respected and are seen to make the right decisions, and our young talent signalling their confidence in the future by extending their contracts. Also, the re-signing of Hogan has influenced the perception that we are going places.  Finally, the capability and personality of coaches and managers who influence those around them and impress those outside the club. Lots of small pieces that have accumulated and come together to change the perception of a once down and out footy club.  As management texts tell us, perception is reality. It impacts individual and collective hope, belief, trust, confidence, and a sense that there is a better future. We can look forward with enthusiasm and not despair. We can once again be proud of our great club. However, let's not forget the past and where we have come from so that we maintain a sense of reality and balance and don't allow complacency, over confidence and arrogance to set in.

    Interesting to read that the Hawks really didn't want to let him go.

    I realise in his interview he was very diplomatic, however I can't help but think he was pretty p*ssed at the club.

    It's worth noting that Lewis won't get as battered at Melbourne and will be able to use his smarts and skill around the contests. 

    At Hawthorn the only other inside mid was Mitchell.  He'll have Viney, Tyson, Oliver, Brayshaw, etc. able to do the real heavy lifting.

    If anything, coming to the Dees could freshen him up.

    Very happy about the move

    3 year contract, age 31 at start of next season and from what I understand a decent salary.

    A risk but in the absence of any comparative senior talent on our list a risk worth taking.

    Cannot help but think about all the other players who have crossed to the Dees at similar stages of their careers. Few have really succeeded. I look forward to this being one of those successes.

    How is hoping for someone's recovery and return to football in bad taste? Last I read he was fit and training and had been told there was a potential his course of treatment would finish sooner than expected. 

    I misread and deleted my post, apologies.

    Not to mention a fellow called Nathan Jones...

    I see less of a reliance on Jones playing inside, which is why I didn't mention him.

    But yes, we have lots of contested ball winners running through the midfield now.

    Wow. Lewis on Trade radio being interviewed by Barret. Someone find the link, in the meantime I'll paraphrase.

    "I see Hawthorn of the early 2000s in Melbourne"

    "Knowing that Hogan signed, that made it clear what Melbourne's direction was."

    Ipso facto... Hogan signs, people want to come to the club.

     That is massive.

    Wow you threw me there, thought you said "being interviewed by Barret", did he actually ask anything intelligible? Think Todd Viney had massive influence on Lewis moving

    • 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.
