@AngryAtCasey called it.

O'meara has apparently told the bombers to jog on hahaha

This is a big picture move, we have two areas we need to improve that are far more important than pace at this stage of our development (given we have some quick outside runners already ) we lack leadership and experience, this could go a long way to helping us beat teams like Carlton and Essendon when we're not switched on right away and take us from 10 wins to 14-15 and 10th to 5th sort of thing.

Another one like that would be handy! he's a bloody good young player

Was that the pick we've used on T and O McDonald? or was that 53?

I must admit i wonder if it's SOS protecting his own bacon a bit, he selected the majority of these players at high picks and his hit% was extremely low, getting them to the Blues and into an AFL team makes him and them look a little better.

Dunn to pies Cloke and a pick to dogs Honeychurch to Dees?

No that's fine, i'd rather be pulled up on it, had the day off today, Mrs is fresh out of surgery so bit of time on my hands haha

Gotta be honest, if pick 44 is going to get this deal done, i reckon we should just hand it over and move on to Hibberd. there is no doubt in my mind pick 44 is still a steal for Lewis, both as a player and a leader.

Didn't realise i had posted as much as i have haha, apologies to anyone else who was frustrated by that, happy for the mods to put a limit on my posting or something if they feel that's needed. real shame that this one hasn't come through, Rocky would have been a great inclusion.

Definitely, clearly the Rockliff trade isn't going to happen, and that's fine. but insulting posters should never be acceptable in my opinion.

your attitude is rubbish, this one might not have panned out as it said but this is EXACTLY why posters stop sharing the information, treating SEN as confirmation of anything is a recipe for disaster.

If the Lions still have an interest in Dunn would 29 and Dunn get an upgrade from the Lions to i believe they have pick 19 and 21

No, but i won't totally dismiss this until either C.O.B Thursday or one of the parties involved refutes it, not because i think it will happen but because i am hopeful it might

have we seen any of the parties involved refute this claim themselves yet?

I just find it very interesting that the parties haven't shut this down themselves,

Perhaps, but i reckon moving on some super loyal players like Whitecross who turned down a big deal just last season to stay loyal to the Hawks and a couple of club champions for an injury prone player isn't going to do wonders for morale and club culture, but as you said time will tell.

FWIW, i've seen nothing on Twitter, the AFL website or the MFC website so far confirming that we infact have no interest in Rocky, nor have i seen anything from the Lions or Rocky himself.

Three days to go in a very crazy trade period, will be very interesting to see what plays out from here. if it's indeed not a Rockliff trade, i wonder what's holding up the Hibberd deal

The really bad part is they look like effectively giving up Lewis, Mitchell, Whitecross, Hartung, pick 10 and more to get in O'meara who hasn't played in two years and has a very serious injury history.

Emphatically denying a player will even be considered for trade and saying even if he requests one they won't trade it is well and truly above towing the company line. i would take that far more seriously than a report on SEN that we aren't interested every day of the week. but again not saying they're wrong, just didn't really feel your "intelligent people" comment was needed.

LEWIS REQUESTS TRADE Reports this afternoon that Jordan Lewis has officially requested a trade from Hawthorn to Melbourne.

but of course that is a totally uninformed prediction from a supporter with little idea how he will come out of a full pre season and what our injury situation will be like next season. but good on you for finding a way to pot shot Jack Trengove in a thread about Jordan Lewis.

I reckon what Wright said was as emphatic. He's a required player and he WON'T be traded is fairly strong, and they backflipped. not saying it will happen, but nothing should be treated as an absolute in footy, especially during silly season. but an intelligent person would know that as well.

Definitely! but what i am saying is 3 days is a long time in footy, a lot can change. there is plenty of chatter around about this, so time will tell
