Its just that we've had the family club thing shoved down our throats for decades.
Rumour Jordan Lewis to leave also

To be honest, I've only ever really heard non-Hawthorn fans on bigfooty refer to 'the family club'. It's just a gimmick like the shinboners, otherwise.
Not lecturing bud, observing. Two club icons shown the door, one a five time best and fairest!!
The things I've read is mitchell wanted to leave last year. He stayed on, seems pretty happy to be able to do what he wanted a bit earlier than planned. Relocate his young family to Perth. Add a year playing before stepping into an assistant role
Mitchell wants to coach is different to Mitchell wants to play for West Coast.
The Hawks (or any club) don't get involved in a trade for a player to coach later on.
He was shown the door as many greats have in the past at all clubs.
Lewis wasn't happy about being told he had one year left and requested a trade. Wasn't shown the door

Just on Mitchell playing one more year, is that certain to happen as the way he's playing he could have more years left in him.
happy punter

Sam Mitchell - GONE
Jordan Lewis - GONE
I guess Luke Hodge is next

I understand all that, it's just some players MUST remain one club players. Not sure I'll get used to him waddling around in an wce jumper. Players come and go, no worries it's just that he has a huge association with hawthorn. Pisses me off actually.
Hawks could've improved their offer.

As the family club it's our duty to get our veterans a great retirement payout. Just ask Mark Williams

Bontompelli ended Hodge's career in September. He just hasn't come to terms with it

Credit where credit is due. Well played.
Go easy on the spray though
What an incredible deal for Melbourne. Lewis has three years of good football left in him and will be the senior grunt that you need in that midfield

I'd say between Tyson, Jones, Viney and Oliver we've got plenty of grunt.... its more the polish and calm head under pressure we lack. Having Lewis to drive training standards and an example of prior excellence/success is pretty amazing for the price we paid. I think he's slowed down a lot, but he can be managed over the years so as to get the best out of him. Won't need to play 23 rounds in and under. Seems a lot of players are now starting to go to 33-34 and still be best 22.... i remember only a few years ago it was only the exceptional who played past 30.

Geelong did it with a bit of class and respect.
Lewis thought he was getting a call from Clarko to be captain and got traded out under contract.
Thats good list managment?
