Gonna throw my 2 cents in regarding the Govs. Although we don't need Mitch, he is a very talented player that knows how to find the goals. IF he wants to come home we would decently try chase him. FREO are obviously in the box seat. Will offer stupid money and have more to trade. I think he will cost at least a first rounder. Partly because of the name, and partly because of the demand for him. A fair few Vic clubs are interested as well. Will we give a 1st? I hope not. Would a wellingham/Emac Compo and a 2nd get it done? I Am still of the belief that Lycett will be involved in the deal. I don't see how we can play Nic, Vardy, Lycett and our talls. Plus if Petrie plays in, which if Lycett goes I would be happy with. Secondly, if you asked me a month ago if Old Mc would ever switch to the purples I'd have literally laugh for a month. I have heard rumours lately from a few that there are a fair few unhappy eagles. I'm hearing the players themselves are a tight group as always but are unhappy with the coaching. Not sure if that's regarding Simmo or assistants or East Perth. If Old Mc is unhappy and Young Mc goes to Freo he could actually be tempted to go. The eagles would demand and arm and a leg and rightly so. Who knows really. There are so many rumours flying atm, but my feeling is for our club champion to sign a new deal and then not even 2 months later retire, I feel something is amiss.
