If yesterday’s Mitchell to West Coast news was an atomic bomb going off, today’s news was a simmering volcano. Nobody knows if or when it will erupt, but it’s bubbling away ominously.
There’s something up with Jordan Lewis and Hawthorn, and the speculation started early today.
Another big name @HawthornFC star could be on the move…#watchthisspace

Some even claimed it was on.
Lewis presented a Demons contract & had agreed in principle before another Clarko mtg = backflip. Hogan big factor in decision to pick Dees

Jordan Lewis and management looked for trade out of Hawks to Melb after talks with Hawks … Wind gone out of sails now, but does he stay?

Hawks confirm that Jordan Lewis fielded interest, but he is a "contracted and required" player. Sam Mitchell just a "contracted" player.

@HawthornFC 's r'ship w gun plyr Jordan Lewis is strained. GWright can say 'he's required' but Lewis may still leave…#watchthisspace

What is going on?!
In better news for the Hawks, they got pick 23 for Brad Hill, who will play with his brother at Freo next year.
Reckon pick 23 is just about spot on for Brad Hill. Win-win for both clubs I think #AFLTrades

The two sides are the joint clubhouse leaders after four days of the AFL Trade Period.*
* Pending Jordan Lewis staying.
Hawthorn downgrade pick 14 to pick 23 and upgrade Brad Hill to Tom Mitchell. What bandits.

Pick 3 + Chris Mayne for 7 + 35 + Brad Hill + Cam McCarthy. Nice work Freo #KillingIt #AFLTrades

Meanwhile, Carlton has reportedly walked away from negotiations over Bryce Gibbs.

Koby Stevens has nominated St Kilda as his preferred destination, which certainly fits within the Saints’ strict name policy.

And Collingwood defender Jonathon Marsh wants to go home to WA, which further depletes the Pies’ key defender stocks.
Collingwood's defence taking a beating. Jonathon Marsh requests to return to WA (personal reasons). Brown still unsigned, Frost Lions bound
