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.

    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.

    • 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.
