official?

It was on the trade desk so I don't know how official that is.

Unrestricted free agent. Two year deal is like offeringย a retirement fund. ย It would have to be performance based surely. ย 
Iโ€™m still in the โ€œย No โ€œ camp but it depends on whether we think we can get a Polec or a Phillips across to solve the left side wing position. ย

The trade desk just mentioned we have given him a 2 year deal.

No they didn't. They said he was seeking a 2 year deal from Hawthorn, and other clubs were sniffing around. They said Melbourne were probably the strongest of those showing interest, but they certainly did not say we had given him a 2 year deal.

Makes much more sense.ย

Jordan Lewis: Youโ€™ll love it at Melbourne Smithy,ย theyโ€™ll pay you way more than at the Hawks and give you an extra year or two. Plus, you just have to stand on the ground and point. The only down side is thereโ€™s no toilets at training.ย

"oh, is it okay then if I wear my old Hawthorn gear so no-one will notice?"


What is the obsession with only recruiting players if they are part of 'our future' or our 'next premiership'?

Players that join a club bring things with them when they arrive and leave things behind when they leave. This team requires leadership.

He has been a good leader at a good club and still plays at a high level. Even for one season, surely, you take that opportunity.ย 

The only valid argument might be that he takes the place of a young player but we're not exactly over-encumbered with talented young wingmen.

Would be a great signing.

So we've got Langdon on one wing. Who are you saying we've got playing on the other wing?

We should go hard for Ben Brown and Polac, both have 3/4 years good footy left in them. How can the club tell us they want to build a team to make multiple finals and win one, then bring in a 32 year old(Smith,) for a season. Looks like we are getting desperateย

Depends on who the player is.

In this case, Smith still has something to give and he could be a handy addition to the side.ย  We need to remember that, the last time we played finals, Jordan Lewis was a big part of it.ย  Smith could do the very same thing.

He could also be great for someone like Oskar Baker in terms of development.

Not a 32 year old.

Baker ?

Smith has at least one more year left. It wouldn't be big money. He'd be looking at years in terms of security. So he takes a list spot up in year 2 or 3 (yeah, I'd look at a 3rd year trigger), his experience will still be invaluable.

I'm with @Patches Oโ€™houlihan. I'd be going Gunston too.

  • Take him in a heartbeat. Lewis was massively under appreciated by some here.

Totally agree, can't believe some of the garbage people are talking here. Lewis was bloody good for us to have while building a young team. We didn't have the experience he had, so we literally brought it in.

Clarko will be laughing his head off. I reckon they offered a cheap 2nd year knowing he was probably out the door,ย pushes another club into committing overs. Gets them more compo

FMD didn't we learn anything from giving Lewie one year too many?

If we do this, we will be suckers

If, if by chance Viney were to leave as a RFA, this Smith UFA recruitment would destroy any compo we might get for Jack. Surely the club know what they are doing?!!! Or does a UFA not attract compo anymore? I'm notย sure

Jack better stay!

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
