Player Watch Mitch Hinge - Re-signed until 2026

[Cleric]

What were his issues at Brisbane. I vaguely recall he may have been injury prone?

Originally pick 20 in the 2017 rookie draft. A few clubs must not have rated him. Congrats to the recruiters that gave him a chance with us.

That's something that always makes me laugh. When a player doesn't get drafted in the National draft and that is used to say they don't have talent. "Well, if all the clubs recruiting staff passed over him, be obviously isn't that good".

 

[George Kramer]

What am I apologising for? He resigned for two years, that in no way suggests he was close to being delisted.

When?

 

[Danger in Texas]

We re-signed Hinge late last year as we were worried about list spots, just think about that. I know for a fact it was touch and go.

Pretty sure like Keays it was the queue. They rated Mitch significantly higher than Keays and at least publicly didn't want him to go, but he essentially declined a new contract and asked to be delisted. He was fringe enough that he likely wouldn't play much over the following couple of years at least so they didn't make too much of a deal of it.

Has looked a 200 game plater from day one. Amazed Brisbane gave him the flick.

 

[George Kramer]

Further to what I posted last night, was he our last re-signing last year? If not would have gone very close to it

Asked to be flicked.

yep, pretty accurate summary of his skillset

 

[ams4crows]

I'd be putting a contract extension in front of him quick smart

Do it now. 25yo and will be a 100 gamer+ player.

They didn't... wanted to keep him, but Hinge was keen to come home.

 

[The Perfect Stranger]

They didn't... wanted to keep him, but Hinge was keen to come home.

Didn't they only offer him a 1 year contract?

 

[cmndstab]

Didn't they only offer him a 1 year contract?

Yes. They wanted him but not all that much. Enough to offer an extra year but that was all. Ie happy to keep him but also not too concerned about losing him either.

 

[Gtowncrow]

Although it's probably been asked many times already, I'm going to ask it seriously again.

What is stopping Mitch Hinge becoming the big bodied, bullocking midfielder we're all asking for? He's hard at the ball, tackles tough, has immense burst power and speed. AND... a beautifully penetrating foot.

To my eye, he's got Jordan Degoey similarities.

Thoughts???

We don't need Doedee. Hinge doing that role well.

Let Doedee go.

+Worrell too, of course

Agree that Doedee now seems surplus

Two year extension for Mitch

Hinge signs on to 2026

[Pugsley]

Great resigning. Lad can play.

 

[Jarman3]

This is pleasing to me.

 

[Smoooothy]

nothing wrong with this at all!

 

[50BC]

Was clearly the no1 priority signing from the contract ending 2024 list.

 

[StonesThrow]

AA this year? Has tracked exceptionally well since arriving and is in our top group of players imo.

 

[Crows I Am]

Another good signing. You could say that Hinge will be 'pivotal' to our side for the next few years.
