very interesting times, if Pickering or Lewis declares his intentions publicly it will seriously ramp up the pressure on the Hawks and make Wright look like a world class [censored]

    Agree with this - the silence from both Lewis and Pickering is very interesting indeed.  I think it confirms that he is still livid with the Hawks and hasn't made up his mind yet, even though the Hawks have made it clear they want him to stay.  Once we hear from either of them then we'll know where we stand.

    Never thought I'd ever say this, but gee Hawthorn have handled this badly.

    Not a word from Melbourne either, interestingly. The only camp commenting is Hawthorn.

    Hawthorn are in no position to enforce his contract.

    It's up to him.  Still think it is better than even money that he goes.

    Because they are the only ones who can lose out of this

    Classy from us, yet again.  There is no need to comment on anything yet unless we know, 100%, if he is going to be coming to us or if the deal is dead in the water.  No point in discussing it publicly right now while we are still doing things behind the scenes.

    Perhaps he will be offered the captaincy in order to keep him there? 

  • Quote

    This is a huge PR battle we've won and the Hawks have lost either way

    suddenly Melbourne is a "Destination club"

    Hawthorn is publicly under the microscope for disrespecting and pushing it's most loyal veterans out the door in order to bring in a player on massive overs with an injury history.

    reckon Hodge, Gibson and Burgoyne would be nervous now.

  • Quote

    Hodge and Gibson were the ones they should have got rid of IMO.  Mitchell and Lewis still have good footy in them.

  • Quote

    Lewis called Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin directly on Thursday night and is believed to be less than pleased with Hawthorn’s handling of the situation.

    Melbourne offered Lewis, who is a free agent at the end of 2017, a two-year contract, which would guarantee him an extra season in the AFL.

    Now is the time when Lewis and his management team leak to the media to put the pressure on the Hawks, make them look bad so they agree to trade him.

  • Quote

    Maybe we should offer him a New Balance discount - that got a fair few to sign on last year.

  • Quote

    We must be offering him an assistant coaching role in the future too to seal the deal? I think captaincy is a bit of a stretch. He may have to give up that dream. He could mentor a future captain.

    I want to be in the room when he and JV have their first chat - could be interesting considering they've spent the last 3 years trying to take each other's heads off.

    I think we also mentioned he would likely get his 5th flag as well.

    Oh. Someone mentioned offering JL the Melbourne captaincy to seal the deal but I thought that is unreasonable, maybe only if it was a mega-deal for Fyfe would you consider using it as bait. (Stk should offer fyfe captaincy next year)

    Re coaching, I have a theory that maybe JL is in an identical predicament to Mitchell (2 years left) but wasn't offered the similar coaching opportunities after his career from Clarko, on top of all the other issues.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
