Correct. We'd be spoon winners for the next 5 years.

It's bizarre that people are arguing 'but McCabe and Dear!!!' as though they are both 22-23 and ready to take senior footy by the scruff.
If we had a forward line of Dear (as promising as he very much is) and Chol as the primary targets then there are going to be some very fun gameday/autopsy threads for a few years.
This board also declares any tall doing moderately well at VFL level the future.
Both are promising prospects but a long long way from guarantees.
Let them develop and see what we have without mortgaging our future on them coming on.
Pies will be off loading a few at years end.
Half the team is in their 30's or just about to be.
Mihocek should be our target.
Compare both Lewis and Mihocek stats and Brody is much better and lays tackles !!
Kicks more goals than Lewis and has a sound body.
Make it happen Hawks !
Just won a flag and brings knowledge and maturity.

He's contracted to the end of next year.
Brody is almost 32 years old... Pass
Also Lewis averages more goals per game for his career despite never playing in a good team and is yet to hit his prime.
Brody has been great for Collingwood, gets the best out of himself but going forward it is not even a contest.
Don’t put the idea of trading the picks on for out of contract players.

I think I'll log out of BF and come back in 5 years if we trade Lewis. It would be essentially waving the white flag on the current list strategy and starting again.

We could never recoup true value, never mind get a "good" deal. It simply isn't worth it.
We just need to get a good medical and conditioning team to work with him.

Would only make sense if we were on trading for another tall to replace him, and I just can’t see any of worth being available or agreeing to join us as the savior(which is what they’d need to be with only Chol and a couple of kids in reserve).

I think the only time it would really make sense to even look at trading Lewis is if our conditioning team believe we won’t able to consistently get him onto the park.
Even then it would take a big offer, plus Lewis wanting to leave for it to eventuate.
Seems incredibly unlikely it would happen.

is it at all worth asking if our strength and conditioning team is actually up to scratch ? Players like Lewis and CJ are constantly injured, our players get outrun by every opposition, and broken tackles as well as being pushed aside in a contested mark situation is a constant theme.

I would hope Melbourne's team is a tad smarter
But they also said no to 2 first from Adelaide for Harrison Petty
SO DID OMEARA!!! We paid up due to potential, maybe Melbourne will due to their window closing?
We don't do it for peanuts.
Lewis won’t play this week.
Don’t even consider it.
you'd def have a look if there were good talls in the first round this year.
You would think not, but….
And we split one of the picks or one of our picks.

DGB has had persistent fitness issues too.
Surely there will be some kind of review done at the end of the season. We need the best team the club can afford to help get all the youngsters and injury prone players up to peak conditioning.
It seems the consensus view is we, as a team need more young talent.. anyone who doesn’t share that view isn't watching closely.. Also note, anytime it’s suggested we trade a decent player to get an opportunity to draft in high end young talent a lot of people lose their minds.. Maybe Lewis isn’t the player to trade but we need to regenerate our list and one high pick per year doesn’t seem to be working.. Our problems are exacerbated by the fact some young players haven’t come on and our some senior players have gone backwards.. We’re in an awkward position. We need to be bold to move forward..
I see what you are saying and mostly agree. But we are about to have Gunston be our key forward this week so are we really any better off?
Say we get Battle and with Blank back next season. Move Sicily forward who isn't injury prone and we are still making progress.

Lewis traders are delusional, omeara was 22 and coming off one really bad injury, Mitch Lewis will be 26 next year and hasn’t reached 100 games yet due to persistent injury issues. He is worth more to us as (with the hope we can get his body right) than anyone will be willing to pay for him. 2 top 10 picks is absurd even in the hypothetical thread
