Traded Tom Mitchell [traded to Hawthorn with pick 57 for pick 14 & 52]

[Tedeski]

My maths isn't great, but I'm pretty sure that's $1.3m.

He must be contracted until 2018 then.

 

[SterlingArcher]

Mitchell is being paid 500k as much as Thomas is being paid 750k.

I.e. they're not.

 

[V9x18]

i love tommy but i'd put him on the over rated side of the equation. One paced and can't kick, not great qualities for a modern footballer. Reminds me a bit of priddis, so maybe he's a future brownlow medalist. Would fit comfortably into most 22's but with Kennedy, bird, jack and parker all similar but with more tools i dont see how he gets in unless injuries. wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to trade him for a first rounder imo

 

[blaisee]

In the remaining years of his contract there is every chance he could justify that kind of money. I don't know whether he will make it to the Blues, elsewhere, or stay put.. but injuries permitting, the kid will be a star.

So what's he gunna be on then ? $2m?

 

[Blue By Blood]

I have no idea what his current contract is. I don't think anyone does.. that's just all speculation. People saying it's 500k a year make me laugh. There's no way anyone except for Mitchell, his manager, and the Swans that would know the specifics. For what it's worth, I think he will remain at the Swans next year anyway.

You forgot about the extra hidden 9.8% so it's really $1.43M, near enough $1.5M

 

[Stifler's mom]

perfect.

If you can afford to keep players and pay them 500k and not play them, well I guess good luck to Sydney

Sydney having truck loads of money to pay players has nothing to do with luck.

 

[Mateyman]

Or 500k,500k,100k,100k,100k!

This also = $1.5M!

Amazing!

1) No it doesn't
2) If what the other person said in this thread is true, he had to get paid 100K first 2 years.

 

[TwentyNine]

Contracted, ain't gonna happen.

 

[KennyHunter9]

He's never been on the table.
He is contacted until the end of 2016.
We signed him for 5 years before we signed Buddy for 10 years, prompting the AFL to crack down on the COLA rort, meaning that we now have to clear space in our cap given that we'd paid massive amounts to get Tippett and Franklin through the door.

Pyke was just signed until the end of 2016 today. Is he now on the trade table?

EFA

 

[Membling]

EFA

But yet our recruitment team didn't clear Mumford, white, lamb and everitt last year. And they were so stupid to completely fill up the raise in TPP coming over the next few years!

Silly recruitment team.

Let's see how many clubs are invited to pay $500k and a top 10 pick for Mitchell.

WC have a top 10 pick. WC also have cap room with Glass and Cox retiring and Kerr's contract finishing this year.

 

[teooooooman]

On footy classified Lloyd was saying as he understand it tom Mitchell is going to back him self at the swans, rather then moving clubs and potentially getting a pay rise, also stated that his been injured pretty much all year on and off.

 

[yaco55]

I'd still rather Mitchell. How many clubs wanted Dustbin when he walked out on you last year?

What - i expect Essendon to make a big offer to Martin next year - Martin is a proven AFL player and probable B and F winner.

How could Mitchell get a pay rise - he'a on already close to 500K - I doubt any club would pay a top 10 pick for Mitchell.

He'd fit in well at essendon

I.e. they're not.

He was the subject of a bidding war remember !!

Its not Tom wanting out, its clubs making offers. Sydney might be convinced to let him go for an early draft pick & freeing up some salary space.

And they'll get Heeney in this years draft who would be a great replacement at a fraction of the cost.

 

[Swansujelly]

Mills and Dunkley next year, they just keep on coming! That being said, there will be a surplus of mids for us in 2 or 3 years time, someone may get squeezed out, so keep your hopes up.

Underlines what a long shot snaffling Mitchell is - Mitchell has proven his mettle at AFL level versus a great underage talent.

If you believe the people in the know, Heeney will be every bit as good as Mitchell. If not better.

Tommy's staying put!

Not just being carlton biased here but that article and quote really does not conclusively mean he is staying...all he really said is that hes happy and contracted ready for pre season but almost all players eg franklin say they are happy...he would not want to say yes and cause a media storm just before swans grand final...not saying hes moving, but dont see how the article is proof he is staying
