[BIGHAWK23]

I wouldn't give up 1 first round for lewis let alone 2 or any of our premiership players. You fellas are dreaming.

You choose to play Eric Hipwood

Lewis for Morris?

Weird names being thrown up as to which Brisbane player we would want, I'd have thought McCluggage was the obvious choice if we were just plucking players that would suit us

Sure - but there’s zero chance the Lions would ever trade him.

Swans considering offering up their 2 x end of 1st rounders (currently 19 & 22) for suns pick 13.. doubt Suns take this deal given how desperate other clubs are for the pick.. but does this open up the way forward for Barrass deal given Eagles reportedly after "2x1st rounders"?

G'day Hawkers, here checking out the Mitch Lewis rumour, had been really hoping we give our young ruckman Smith more of a run and restructure, so fed up with hearing about all the delisted players we need to bring in, but if the Lewis trade happened am sure would get on board with it.

IMO the only way we could make it happen would be a player swap, we don't currently have enough points to bring Ashcroft and Sam Marshall (academy kid in - Bog in under 18 GF) this year, so need to turn pick 20 into more points as it is.

With the revision to the academy discounts next year really need to keep next year's first to bring another academy kid called Annable in (projecting as a 1st rounder at this stage) so basically certainly don't have the draft currency to get any deal done.

I love Bailey and all our players (we've just won a flag) Zorko and Lester getting on but both expected to hold their place next year, lost Joe, but Levi Ashcroft, Kiddy Coleman and Linc McCarthy should be pressing for places in the team this year, so maybe there is a premiership lion looking to return to Melbourne?

If so you guys would be one of the first teams they'd want to play for!

The 'steak knife' or fringe type players who are AFL standard on are list are Dev Robertson (linked to Eagles), Prior (linked to Essendon) Bruce Reville showed promised this year but the team getting harder to crack into, Darcy Garndiner but probably wrong age profile for your list, also have Doedee another two time acl victim in the wings but clearly a big question mark there.

Have a great summer and good luck with your exciting team next year..

That's premiership player Eric Hipwood to you.

Lewis will miss half the season when we need some immediately. Why would we give up so much in that situation when we can get a 1 year stop gap then target someone who will actually stay on the field.

You don't win Premierships in the first half of a season. You'd think with the kind of season the Lions had, a Lions fan would know this. This is exactly why everyone here thinks you're a dickhead.

Lewis should be worth Barrass and extra. Lewis is more than 3 years younger, and a good Key Forward is much harder to find than a Key Defender.

We're short on list spots. Could be used to build our draft capital in 2025.

Just give Brisbane the number to the Eagles' List Manager. They can fix up the Eagles for Barrass, and find us a F2 pick.

Devon Robertson could be that F2?
