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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
