Surely not

More chance of Essendon winning the flag in 2017 than Mitch topping up his super at WCE.

It's true just on sen radio confirming his want to go

 

[LuvMyHawks]

He is certainly considering it. He has just spoken on SEN and is quite excited about going to Eagles, and then coaching over there.I am very sad about losing him.

Currently on SEN talking about it.

 

[phreeze77]

Clarko asked him if he would like to and he thought about it and his wife was excited and said yes so the ball is rolling to get a trade.

 

[Canada]

Yep. SEN. Straight from Mitch's mouth.

 

[Hawkerzz]

Probably pissed off that he has taken pay cuts for years to keep the list together and now we're paying a kings ransom and offering up half his mates to get a guy who hasn't played for 2 years.

WHAT THE * IS HAPPENING!!!!

 

[Baz_hawk]

First rounder plus Kennedy will get it done

 

[essaynode]

Holy cow! Trading our reigning best and fairest winner. I must be dreaming...

 

[bungholes_premiers]

Hahahha simo getting desperate wanting a 34 year old?!

 

[essaynode]

And we better get a good result from the trade.

 

[Off The Couch]

Kudos to Sam for being so honest

I can't believe this is happening but Sam sounds keen so........

Initially going as a coach but Clarko threw up whether he would be open to a trade and they as a family have discussed it and it's a go if it all comes together as they were going to WA in two years anyway so why not now

 

[KINGBUDDY]

The more i think about it the more i like the idea of him leaving. Love Mitchell but hes 34, if we can get Darling or an early pick this can keep us on top of the ladder for longer. Clarko knows best

 

[43214all]

Alright honestly this is as f'd up as it gets, but who do we get now from wce as a trade???

Well I'm shocked to be sitting here!

 

[QuietB]

This is a life after footy move - move into coaching. Good on him. Kennedy would be nice

Doubt we will get anything much to be honest - hopefully not Jetta

Seriously ?? he is our current best and fairest player... and consistently our best in our wins

 

[Since 2001]

If this does happen we must have a lot of faith in O'Rouke, Langford and with mitchell and O'Meara coming in geezz.

What would he be worth in a trade? We better not get ****ed!

 

[Cyril the Squirrel]

Cant believe it! Was surreal hearing him speak about it so candidly on SEN...

Trade him out to get Jaeger and Titch and trade him back in after 2 seasons to help win more premierships.. isn't that how we trade West?

 

[HedgeFund]

Much respect to all parties as just mentioned on the radio.

Completely realistic professional approach and the fact Mitchell said Clarkson planted the seed more as a friend than his coach is remarkably refreshing.

If we get Hill and WCE get Mitchell, the WA clubs can't complain about the way the Hawks approach trade week.

 

[PoopingHindi]

good luck to him.
he needs to start looking towards life after football and going to WC is the first step down that road.

all the best Sammy. i still love you mate

 

[Baz_hawk]

We aren't going to get an Eagles player, the deal is between three parties I believe so it'll likely be a move to get O'Meara over the line.
