You're nothing like your username sake. He was a front foot sort of guy. You are possibly one of the most negative posters I've come across. Come on, Walt. Dream a bit.

Are you being sarcastic? That is the same BS spin we hear from clubs when a player asks to be traded.

"They are a required player."

"As far as we know they haven't spoken to anyone."

 

"He has not sought a trade to CLUB."

Not saying it's a surety but if you think it's done and dusted based on anything Hawthorn has said, you obviously haven't been following AFL for very long.

Unless Lewis and his management explicitly say, "We are staying at Hawthorn", it's a chance to get done.

The most obvious part of this is the lack of talk from Lewis or his manager, if he wasn't keen on a move he'd simply say that's the case and end the speculation

I'm a Dees fan. I've had optimism stamped out of me over nearly 50 years.

Nah.

Plenty of premature conjecturators around here. It'd just be representative of our wider community!

Seriously though, who DOESN'T look good in our jumper? Best in the league IMO.

As long as you don't put him next to Judd and Dangerfield.

I reckon the Hawks will try to shut up shop before the weekend, forcing Lewis to sit on his decision for a few days in the hope he decides to stay at Hawthorn.

We'll get him.

I can feel it in my bone.

Is it to much to offer pick 47 for Lewis?

Yes, should be a fourth rounder at best. He's only got 2 years left.

But if he 100% wants to leave and the Hawks 100% refuse to deal we might have to pay overs 

Why would Lewis be meeting Melbourne without any discussion with Hawthorns list managers though? He's wanting to be sold on coming again? Not very familiar with trade talk formalities, what would they be negotiating?

The Hawks know it would be a terrible look to try that after letting Mitchell leave for peanuts; I doubt they'd turn it into a PR nightmare.

Nah the white is gaining every day it will be adopted as the "Home jumper" by 2018.

Barrett reporting that Liam Pickering, Lewis' manager, was meeting with us this morning.

Edit - they also say that Lewis is still livid with how everything has gone down and it's line ball where he plays next year.  Could be sensationalism, but still gives credence to the idea we are an outside chance to get him.

Contract terms you'd assume. You wouldn't want to agree to a trade and then find out you're being paid half as much as before.

 

"As of yesterday afternoon we decided we didn't want Jordan to go anywhere.."

lolol

Was he performing a skit? That has to be a line in a parody of some kind.

It was reported that he had agreed to contract terms with Melbourne yesterday or before. The dees had the contract drawn up ready to go before the Hawks decided it was a better view while back flipping down the road.
