Why then did they sign them up for 2017 only a few months ago?

Mate reckons this is done for pick 69, anything official been said yet?
Lewis is only 30 so seems a bit young to be cast aside. Agree Mitchell at 34 has 1 year left and that would be it.

If Hawks ask for Dees 2017 first round pick theyll probably get it.

Yes it does but once the Demons offered a 3 year deal then Jordan was silly not to take it.
Clarko obviously told him that he did not see him as part of the next Premiership aside and Jordan knows this.
It still hurts of course but that's the way the AFL is heading.
I would have thought so too, but none of us really know how well older players pull up after training I guess.

I am sure they thought we could contend again but as Clarko said in his pressers after the WB Final footy has changed and he obviously thinks we need fresh blood.
This was always going to happen it's just caught everyone off guard.

Lot of reporters seem to be saying its a done deal, not many seem sure what for yet. 3rd rounder would be my guess.

Hawks have won 4 flags in the last 8 years and 9 in my lifetime - seriously if I was a Hawks supporter I would be so far off caring, I'd be focused on the rebuilding of the club for the next tilt with O'Meara and Mitchell and wishing the best to some loyal servants. Some people will just never be happy I guess.
I think he beat B Hills 3km time trial during the combine, didn't he?
Have never really loved him, but the little fella can run and run and run.

GCS were willing to trade JOM in order to get Lewis. I'd be surprised if Melbourne didn't need to work a little harder than a third rounder. The FA compensation would be a second round pick for the deal we've heard has been offered.
So he may go for a third round pick but I would be surprised.
Yeah nah we aren't stupid.

Fair enough, just a guess on my part from whats been thrown around in the media. I sincerely hope we get more than a 3rd rounder, I just won't be surprised if thats what ends up happening. All speculation, and until we see the bigger picture at the end of this trade period (or possibly the next) it's going to be hard to say if it was worth it or not.

2017 2nd along with a pick upgrade for the Hawks this year should be enough, get it done.

I don't think the issue is about the hawks supporters, I'd say it was more the phone call from Alastair Clarkson to Jordan Lewis.
After all his faithful service to the club, he thought he was getting the captaincy but he pretty much, Not to miss quote the great man Bill Lawry, got the old... "Got him, Gone! Yes.. Piss Off. Your Out"

Yeah, tough one....Speedy wing-men with endurance aren't common....And along with Hill going, that would only leave us with Smith.
That's why O'Rourke & Whitecross would be more likely for mine.
Lewis opting for Melb over Gold Coast, has put us into a bit of a bind, trade-wise....Both he & pick 10 would have sufficed for O'Meara.
Likely a clue as to the hold-up on both deals.

Lewis is in the final year of a 3 year deal isn't he? Not like he was re-signed yesterday. Wouldn't be able to receive any compensation until end of next season, if compensation even exists then.
They re-signed Mitchell because their intention was to roll with what they had initially. At some point in time post season they have clearly decided to change tack, take a step back next year in order to return to contention sooner, while the younger core group will still be around.

34 is just a number. If you ignore that & look at his form over the last few years does he really look like a player with only 1 year left in him ? It's not like he's ever been reliant on his pace.
