Any clue what about?
I've always considered ML to be a really high quality person and thought he had a good set of morals he was pushing.

He has been scarred since Clarkson made him sing Xmas carols at strangers doors on his first day on the job.

Not sure that's all I was told, i was highly sceptical given his value is at an all time low that we would entertain a trade.
But Brisbane are desperate buyers if it is indeed them.
Maybe we should buy him a labrador

Wait, so Dear will give Lewis windburn as he passes him to be our no.1 forward, but if we play all of Chol, Lewis Dear then Dear is the one getting dropped?
Chol was a liability in finals, Gunston is in his twilight years…we need a good 2nd and 3rd tall. Hopefully scaife is one of those, and Weddle / number 6 is the other one. Lewis is tradable…

With Chol being above expectations this year. Calsher showing signs and improving. Battle, Weddle and Sicily rotating forward. Watson, Moore and Ginnivan crumbing. Gunston and Breust playing on next season. Gives players like Serong (if he stays and doesn’t ask for a trade) MacCabe, Skaife and possibly DGB (if offered a new contract) to take over Gunston’s spot for 2026.
So the possibility of Mitch Lewis being traded to Brisbane would not be the end of the world. As we currently have a functioning, consistent forward line.

Unless Brisbane drastically overpay no way would I trade Mitch.
Scaife doesn't look like an AFL key forward to me, Gunston has one more year left, Sicily wants to stay down back long term.
Leaves us with only Chol & Dear long term.
Way too thin at a time when we are competing for flags.

How much better would Chol be with Lewis in the side
Chol was above expectations all season.
2 bad games in finals, but still a bloody good year from him

It's likely Hardwick will also move forward.
P.S - Considering all of what you said above I would still keep Mitch unless he really wants a fresh start elsewhere

I think if Mitch is unhappy/looking for a change and the club is legitimately entertaining offers the proposal is either solid overs OR we know we can turn what we get into another KPF whilst still facilitating Mitch and his wishes.
Mitch was interviewed in the rooms after the finals win against the bulldogs.
There was obviously a lot of jubilation but Mitch was sitting down by himself and keeping distance.
When asked by BT why he was not joining in, Mitch said ‘let the boys enjoy themselves’.
Mitch had this look of a person not connected with the group, which seemed strange and made an impression on me at the time.
I am probably reading into things, but thought I would share this given the latest developments.

It might have something to do with his knee pre ACL where he was telling the club he wasn't fine but our docs were giving him the OK
Or so they say....

That doesn't really make sense as 1. his knee was caused by an impact injury and 2. he injured his good knee.

Wasn't there talk a few weeks back that we were interested in a KPF but not being able to access an extra year of picks (as had been mooted) put the kybosh on that plan? Perhaps if Mitch moves we'd have to picks to pull off that plan.

Jack Graham 900 a year X 5 years is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time.

At face value trading Lewis doesn't help us in any way. KPF is a difficult position to fill with quality and we are thin on options.
Sure there are question marks over his durability but the upside is enormous. Even if Brisbane paid so called 'overs' it wouldn't change this.

Agreed, if WC did that I would stop supporting them.
Nobody on our site wants Graham in the first place.

Mitch Lewis is the icing needed to be that 1% better than the rest. Surely we would do everything in our power to convince him to stay, sort out any issues he has
Yes sometime back we were into King. What happened to that? Does someone knows?

Chol was not a liability in the finals. Did he play well? No. Plenty of players have bad games. Dylan Moore had 2 underwhelming finals. The first final against the dogs he competed in the air against a really tall backline ( playing against lobb who’s 7cm taller and marked a couple on him) should of marked a few he dropped and in the second final kicked a goal and was involved in 2-3 more in a low scoring game. Whether you like it or not his defensive pressure helps our forward line just like calsher dear’s forward pressure when Mitch Lewis plays we seem to lack that. The only game we weren’t competitive in from calsher dears debut game was the the 1 game Lewis played and the 1 game calsher didn’t. Maybe coincidence but I find that interesting.
