Hawks said a couple of days ago Lewis was a required player and wouldn't be traded. just saying

Yeah, i suspect that/twitter/callers on trade radio or whatever, though i am not 100% sure. Rocky, the Lions or his manager haven't publicly come out and said it's not happening.

A little, Robbo basically directly quoted Chook in Perth and said " Brisbane know nothing about it" and Brett Anderson and Terry Wallace said they're hearing it all over the place but can't confirm or deny it at this stage

Interesting that if clubs could trade without consent, Lewis would most likely be on his way to the Suns.

Zac Dawson to the Dees on a 12 year multi million dollar deal?

I reckon number 6 for Lewis and number 14 (assuming Dunn goes) for Hibberd

I suspect any interest we had in bringing in Barlow is now gone, Lewis taking his place

Hibberd bullet pass from half back, hits Lewis in the middle of the ground, lace out to Hogan, precision will always beat leg speed, but we have some genuine leg speed as well so it's not a bad spot to be in

Our speed and outside mid stocks aren't bad: Lumumba, Hunt, Harmes, Kennedy, Vince, Salem, Melksham, Petracca, Garlett, Kent we have a few guys who can run and carry and be damaging on the outside. the thing to remember is that fast runners doesn't always mean fast ball movement, the Dockers have Pierce and Hill but still seem to move the ball quite slowly.

100% very rare that anyone can post information on here without getting at least one person question it, if you have confidence in your information though you won't be bothered what posters think.

Something different just not heard anything to suggest we've either cooled or the Lions have said no.

Interesting, that's not what i am hearing.

That's what i am thinking mate, upgrade Wagner and Smith and maybe use that pick 80 on someone like Tim Smith if he's still around at that stage

Yes, only because we have to use a minimum of 3 draft picks and if that's the case and we get Hibberd our first pick will be around 80.

The rumour has seemingly been started by the bombers suggesting O'meara will go to them in the pre season draft instead of to the Hawks, i think it's rubbish personally.

Peter Schwab ✔@czar_peter One word of advice for fans. Don't believe everything you hear or read at trade time seemingly applying some cold water?

strong chance if he played for MFC this year he would have won the bluey.

What did he say?

Jones, Vince, Lewis, Rockliff, Viney, Tyson

This is CLEARLY the biggest thing the MFC have to weigh up, the trade/contract expectations and quality of player point to him being a great get, but the real nature of the attitude stuff is the real unknown here.

I will to this, i am aware of interest, and that it'd be put to the Lions in conversations regarding Lynden Dunn, i am not sure how far that's gone but the trade offer is pick 29 and Dunn. i am also aware that the Lions are willing to accept an early second round selection if a club is willing to take Rocky which is concerning in itself. So i am putting 2 and 2 together here and haven't been told at any stage that Rockliff is definitely coming, but if we've put an offer on the table and they're that keen to make a move i see little reason that it shouldn't happen, i also feel this would explain the hold up in the Hibberd deal which all indications were would be done very early on in trade week.

Oh wow, how do the Saints feel about that? not even heard about a trade and he's already on the website hahaha

There is no doubt that's the best approach, what i will add though is that Demonland has a funny way of treating a non trade as confirmation of an unreliable source, this is not the case in all instances, the club can be very interested in a player, and even have a level of confidence in a trade being done and have an unforseen variable crop up, Dion Prestia is a great example of this.

Wow! going to have to get Bruce, Neitz and Yze out there because they have no other players. surely they can't offer him to the Suns and then say, nah you're a required player bud. Lewis has every right to feel pretty miffed i reckon.

Interesting you mention this, the Swans are very keen on a ball user on half back, obviously Hibberd isn't the one they're keen on but i reckon they'll be sniffing around Salem.
