Past Tom Mitchell - AFL MVP, Dual AA Rover, B&F Winner, 2018 Brownlow Medallist - traded for pick 14 2016

[The King!]

That leaves Sicily + the 2017 first for JOM?

Gold coast should tell them to * off

 

[Happy_Hawker]

We wont. It will be 14 plus a second rounder is my guess.

Pardon the intrusion, but would others on here agree that Hawks pick 14 + 2nd rounder (this year or next) for Mitchell would be acceptable?

I will need to confer, after all the Swans do not make a decision until they have discussed it first with all of us here on Big Footy.

 

[George]

Pick 10 seems fair to me

 

[Cadsky]

Pick 10 seems fair to me

10 and next years second sounds better

 

[Deccas]

seems like the Hawks would be happier than the swans, but you gave us Kennedy so we will call it quits.

Yes.

 

[Teddy chester]

10 and next years second sounds better

Be happy to take only their second rounder if it meant not giving him away to play with stevic

 

[Punts]

I think we will come out of this ok

 

[mtooler]

Pick 10 seems fair to me

10 and not Hawthorn is a done deal!

 

[Lakeside Swan]

I see your point but I think he can only do so much with the players he's dealing with. Our lack of speed is obvious, so he can't formulate an attacking game-plan like Adelaide or GWS. We have some strong contested mids, so he's based our game around that. The only issue is that in the GF we went up against the only side better in that area than us (and the Bulldogs had the extra speed we didn't). But Horse is really good at squeezing the best out of his players. I can only think of a few who have just dwindled in quality a la Ross Lyon's Dockers (Jetta, maybe Reid, maybe Tippett, maybe Cunningham)

Funny thing is that this game plan would have been successful had the umpires not be corrupt or incompetent.

 

[Lakeside Swan]

The Aints will become the Saints next year if they can get him. They'd have a pretty good team list :-(

 

[Riders of Rohan]

The only player I'd take in a straight swap would be smith.

If it gets done with picks I'd hope for a something in the top 10, as it stands I don't think 14 is high enough.

 

[Lakeside Swan]

St Kilda just became my 2nd team.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Carlton express an interest too. Wouldn't a bidding war be great.

In hindsight, the club really stuffed up with sinclair...obviously didnt judge naismiths development well enough.

400k for a ruck we dont need

WTF? In the GF we were crying out for someone to clunk a few marks out of defence on the 50. Same in attack when Tippet was in the ruck (where he is bloody good).
Naismath did well for a 3rd stringer over his time in the team, but I lost count of his 'taps to disadvantage' in the GF. The Dogs had him completely figured out.
Hopefully in next year's GF Sinclair and Reid are back in along with our No. 10 draft pick with speed.
And hopefully the AFL decide to stop handing out premierships by officiating.

 

[hairy biker]

Scrimshaw with 14 would be nice

Polo Gill would declare he was illegally sourced and ban us again.

 

[Lakeside Swan]

Richards retires
McGlynn retires
Dericx retires
Mitchell traded out

Yet we have no cap room.

Hawks sign Vickery
Chase JOM
Chase Mitchell

Yet have cap room

Never change Bigfooty

I'm starting to think that the Whoreks have hired the Clintons accountant.

 

[cherub]

Dogs are getting Cloke for next season as well.

Hmmmm. Not sure that means they're getting stronger. Actually, sure it means they're not.

 

[Lakeside Swan]

Des Headland? (clutches at straws)

I'm certain that there's been plenty; just can't think of them at the moment.

 

[Maddo11]

Watch the blues come from left field and offer him a yyuugge deal to try and get him across.

Edit; looks like im Sandra Sully with the late news, and it's actually the Aints from outta nowhere

 

[DavyRed]

So I look at situations like this in fairly simple black and white - or in this case Red & White - terms. On the one hand he's a young man who has every right to maximise his financial rewards in any way he sees fit. We apparently offered him below market rates so he's gone elsewhere for a bigger payday. And good luck to him. Others have done similar and come to us for more pay or better opportunities and we applaud them, he's just going in the opposite direction. All very logical stuff.

However, I laugh at that logic and dismiss it out of hand. The little piece of crap has walked out on my club, the mighty Red & White, to join one of our greatest rivals. So f*ck him, up yours Mitchell, take your dollars and shove them fair up ya clacker! P*ss off and as per the 99.9% of other players who choose to walk out on this great club, you're now dead to me.

Ahem, phew, that's better

Id be very happy to get Poopopoloo for Mithcell.

 

[The King!]

He must of lied to the chick at the best and fairest...umm ah

 

[Superstar swan]

Not angry at all about losing titch...dissappointed because he is an elite footballer but you cant blame him....just hope we end up getting something decent in return

that little rat is 28 and not needed.
