Trading out someone of the calibre of Tom Mitchell who may help another side win a premiership for 1 speculative draft pick is not going to happen.
The offer from another side would need to be a lot better than 1 draft pick.
It would need to be a starting 22 player plus a first round draft pick minimum for us to even explore that path.
In saying that if you are positioned on the ladder around 4th-8th and need a ball winning magnet to feed the ball out to your runners you would be crazy to not stump up a big offer to the Hawks for him as he still has plenty of good footy ahead of him.
Disgaree. If trading Mitchell enables a club to win a flag at a time when we are no chance, but significantly fast tracks our ability to win one, then that can certainly happen. Not sure it will happen, but it could if the right deal was put in front of us.
