No Oppo Supporters Lewis traded to Melbourne

[JClaudeGodDamn]

Disappointing return for Lewis but I don't think he is that good anymore. Still a bargain for Melbourne though.

 

[Bradkli]

Anyone got a transcript on that? The only quotes I've seen say nothing about doing it differently.

Read between the lines....he's not going to come out and say "this has been a disaster, we have f't up big time"... There is no other way to look at it. He would know it's been a big stuff up

 

[Manchego Cheese]

Confirmation that this was not planned, making it up on the run, reports may be right of crisis.

Sounds like Clarko is going rogue...

 

[JustKickIt]

But but ....... who's going to go third man up!?

 

[LuckyHawk]

Does not seem like a good deal really...

Its a great deal for Lewis, he should be thankful to the Hawks for helping extend his career.
He's on the wane with maybe one reasonable year left, you won't get a great pick for that.

 

[Smithdogmaddog]

I had concerns over clarko late in season. "we dont give a toss about cont. poss", blaming umpires for loss, being rude to journos.

I felt as though he was burning out, now with this trade period it is just confirming my fears.

Its also well know that Fagan was Clarkos minder and kept him in check and was the voice of reason.

 

[HawksILove]

Can we trade 48 for Barrett or someone else?

Love to get Barrett and Jarmen for late Picks

 

[Stratts4Norm]

Sorry but we shouldn't of given up pick 57......

We didn't "lose him, he had a contracted and was traded.

I'm not disappointed that Lewis is gone (despite the bizarro B&F placing thought he looked cooked this year) but I am disappointed in the return. He is still better than gaining a few low spots in the draft.

Looks like some gross negligence by GW.

 

[bigton08]

This is a balls up.. This is wrong those picks are as useless as **** on a bull.its crazy clarko time now fagan has left he's been let loose and it's not pretty!

 

[bugalugs213]

Could you imagine Richmond giving up Deledio for free cos he has served them well?
Ryan Griffen was as done as Lewis is , did he get let go for free?
Oh Boak is slowing down might give him to adelaide for 3 years cos he served us well its just bizarre.

 

[A Cut Above]

Hurry up Wrighty, there's still time to trade Rioli for a 3rd rounder! Just imagine the cap space!

 

[Glenhope]

Hurry, hurry. Everything must go! Everything's cheap as chips!

At the end of this if there's no O'Meara it'll be a pointless fire-sale.

 

[HolyRioli]

Thank you for your time Jordan. You've done the number 3 proud.

 

[A Cut Above]

Hurry, hurry. Everything must go! Everything's cheap as chips!

At the end of this if there's no O'Meara it'll be a pointless fire-sale.

If we fail to land O'Meara I suggest turning the AGM into a full blown riot.

These two sentences are contradictory

 

[Gaston]

But but ....... who's going to go third man up!?

When in form Lewis was nearly the best tap ruckman in the business. Yes it could be argued how easy this is but the communication and understanding was brilliant.

 

[Stratts4Norm]

Time to trade Gunston and get that pick 57 back

 

[Teamwork Talks]

Hawks think Lewis has one year left in him.
Demons think he has 3.
Time will tell who is right.
I would back our medical staff's opinions over anyone else so I am backing Hawks to be right.

 

[TheBug]

The trade week started out really promising, but as the period has gone on, have been left a little bemused as to what has unfolded. If JOM is not landed, then it will be even more so.

I will withhold final judgement on what has happened here until the next draft period is completed. I believe that there must be a long play involved.

 

[HairyO]

JOM and those 2 and we have done well.

Or Dear instead of Barrett.

 

[ScottMaginness]

Who would have thought 2 weeks ago Lewis was worth the loose change in an exchange of low end draft picks ?

 

[The Lemon]

Who would have thought 2 weeks ago Lewis was worth the loose change in an exchange of low end draft picks ?

The minute we highlighted our intentions to salary dump, we devalued our players and our position.

 

[Roddy]

I can't help but feel that we didn't get bent over on this deal, we bent ourselves over.

So sad to see you and Sammy go, Lewy, you are a Hawk legend.

Damn I hope they know what they're doing. They haven't let us down yet....

 

[Watsclarkosmob]

How can Wrighty be upset if we weren't going to offer him a contract past next year?
