Traded Jordan Lewis [traded to Melbourne with picks 57 and 68 for picks 48 and 66]

[demoniac]

Maybe they are looking at Mike Hunt....

Or Josh Hunt!

 

[Marc_Remillard]

Just curious on salems worth? Could he be a straight swap for Lewis? Similar player to hibbard who is going to Melbourne

Sure, if the Hawks throw Rioli in to sweeten the deal.

This thread is hilarious

 

[Mitchell54]

You can't just send him to Richmond, they nominate a club and they get there. Will be a 3rd rounder at best.

I don't see how Lewis has less value than Deledio.

 

[Marc_Remillard]

Yeah....That's why Pickering made it public that he's on the market eh?

He'll be vetting a raft of offers on his mobile, right now as we speak.

lol

 

[Tulip]

No worries, he just couldn't get back in the senior team in the second half of the year

Didn't play from round six due to a thyroid issue, came back into the VFL for a few weeks and back into the AFL for the last round of the season.

Neal-Bullen is the only one who seems to make sense.

I don't see how Lewis has less value than Deledio.

Outside players like Deledio, even coming off an injury season, are considered far more durable than the bash and crash types.

 

[Blackas87]

This is pretty similar to Brian Lake. 30 years old and a year to run on his contract at the Western Bulldogs. One of the best defenders of the competition at the time. Offered a 3 year deal at Hawthorn.

Brian Lake and pick 27 for pick 21 and 41

Melbourne's pick 29 for Lewis and a 3rd rounder

 

[Alsmypal]

Quite frankly Cyril, Smith or Gunston and maybe Bruest are the only players I'd contemplate a Hunt trade for. It's just not on.

This guy lol

 

[Sprout]

No, he's had a thyroid problem hampering his season this year on top of his recent injury history. His handful of games at VFL level were returning from those health and injury concerns. He was arguably our best player in the horror show against Geelong in the last round. Next season at full fitness he's close to a walk up start and will be spending more time in the midfield.

Why. what makes them durable or better. + Lewis can play outside

You're going to be dissapointed

Am I? Care to share your source?

I'm guessing not

Such a ridiculous argument. Lewis is one of the most durable player's in the league.

Because you're exceptionally one-eyed.

Good post

 

[Turly]

Care to provide some reason or just make claims that posters are one eyed?

Lewis is a much more reliable player than Deledio. Always out on the park and they're around the same age. Lewis doesn't just offer his playing abilities. He knows how to win and he knows what success tastes like.

 

[Alsmypal]

Either way Hawthorn is coming out of this trade period with a player with speed.

Whether it's in the Lewis deal or not and you can bank it!

Yes, O'Meara.

 

[old55]

This guy lol

You asked. I think you'll find my position universally suported by MFC FD and supporters.

 

[Senor M]

I agree, Hunt will only be traded if he asks to be traded. Which won't happen as he just a new contract.

Hunt signed the deal back in May after only playing his fourth game.

Would it surprise you that a 21-year old would accept any deal put on the table at that stage? Since then he's become a regular in the Dee's side (hasn't missed a game since he debuted) and had "one of the best 14 disposal games" ever according to commentators. You could argue that hewas unlucky to miss out on both a Rising Star nomination and the Best U/22 side.Hunt has more runs on the board now then when signed back in May and could easily be asking for more money/more secure deal than he's currently got.

I’ve also heard from a source that Hunt has had quite a change in his personal life with him becoming single mid-season after breaking up from his high school girlfriend who lived near AAMI Park? Maybe he will want to get start afresh and get away from the memories attached to her?

****ing lol

No, he's been with Melbourne from the rookie list and is highly regarded which would have been reflected in his contract.

We aren't giving him up.

Hunt was never on the rookie list. He was pick 57 in the 2013 National Draft.

 

[SodaPop]

Hawks supporters thinking they're any hope whatsoever of landing Hunt ****in lol

Maybe one or two but we know realistically the most we could hope for is your 2nd round pick this year or next.
Realistically we think a pick in the low 100's should get it done going on last weeks form.

 

[SodaPop]

Agreed to a 3 year deal.

Gawn!

Yeah he Ageed to that early last week.
Sticking point is the trade.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

I'd go for a straight swap for Melksham.
