Player Watch Mitch Hinge - Re-signed until 2026

[The Smith Revolution]

Welcome Mitch. The second talented young local in the right age profile for our list wanting to come to us in the same off season. This is a rare feat. I like it a lot.

 

[douglyzia]

I thought he was a defender but highlights show goals and tackles ?

Well, if you think about it, every defender's highlights show them kicking goals.

 

[Stan16]

Cost us nothing, young and potential upside.. Me like.

 

[croweater 41]

Be excited. Minge has talent!!

, just squeezed out by the superior midfield talent at Brisbane. His departure would be more about list balance for them.

He’s a Nicks’ type of player, hard at it.

Good news as I said literally have never paid attention to him or know anything about him (I like to think I know a little about a lot of players) so good to hear he will be a valuable freebie.

 

[triggyscrewedus]

No prizes for guessing what his nickname will be.

Rubbish?

 

[mistylake]

No prizes for guessing what his nickname will be.

So not a sliding doors moment. More a swinging doors deal.

 

[dylan123]

We do love a HBFer.

Hopefully can give Kelly a good run for his position.

 

[Murray2503]

Hinge looks alright. If he keeps Kelly out of the team for good I'm on the Hinge bandwagon. Moves well, good height and seems a good kick for goal. Maybe the club isn't unhinged after all.

[BrissyCrow]

Should I be excited by this?

I literally have not seen him play or heard his name as one to look out for.

Will this just end up like Crocker in a couple of years when his contract is up?

Hope not. From what I have seen I think it might end up more like Keays

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

The paranoid Crows fan in me thinks going after an attacking, mid-sized left-footed half-back/winger means we're worried about Hamill's head knocks.

Can play lockdown defender as well

From the 30 seconds of highlights I have viewed , he reminds me a bit of Jordan Dawson

from the Swans. Left foot looks really good, with plenty of penetration.

Nice. We will need him at half back once Hamill and Milera are on the wings and Laird, Sholl and McPherson are in the guts.

I’ve heard be plays tall, more of a backup for Talia and Macasy. Covering Hartigan role. Young, big bodied, tough and hard, good disposal and....cost nothing.

 

[Carmo]

When Kelly leaves next year Hinge will be a good replacement. Means the team won't go backwards in that area with someone already nicely ready to go.

Also Kelly should net us a decent pick mid 30's in a good draft.

Are you high? Kelly won’t get us a pick in the 30s

Do you watch games? Do you follow the trade period?

Kelly would be lucky to have a single suitor IMO, if he did, the trade would be done for a pick neither team wants.

 

[Kenny Dee]

We’ll be more likely to receive nothing at all

****, I’d GIVE a team a Pick in the 30s just to take him off our hands.

. I expect him to be on the list until at least 2027

 

[Kenny Dee]

Any one got a link to the Minge highlights?

 

[hippyhippy]

If this guy can kick... doesn't he automatically replace Kelly?

 

[Drewie11]

Any one got a link to the Minge highlights?

I would like to see these Minge highlights too, I think there’s a lot of us that would like to see this

 

[tinman]

I would like to see these Minge highlights too, I think there’s a lot of us that would like to see this

Just google "Minge"

 

[SugarShane]

First Brisbane gave us Keays, now they give us Hinge, what's next? Knob?

fu**, I’d GIVE a team a Pick in the 30s just to take him off our hands.

Maybe I am a bit optimistic, but just because you guys don't like the guy doesn't mean he's got no value. He's still young,he's regularly getting games, in fact he's playing most games most seasons and I don't know this for sure but I suspect he's on the lower end of the salary range. He has his limitations but in a team that protects its defense more his lesser ability under mega pressure wouldn't be so much of an issue. Take Ricky Henderson

for example, he did a lot better when he didn't have so much pressure on his defense. For someone like Collingwood, that lower end salary will be an important point. For comparison, in the year b4 Seed came to us he only got 12 games, 2 after the halfway mark of the year. We traded 30 for him.
