Mitchell to undergo surgery on his leg over the weekend and Hawks have now said they expect him to miss the season. I guess its rare that you would get anyone back after 6 or 7 months, from a broken leg.

DGAF about Wingard.

Just sick of seeing the Hawks. When they had their threepeat it was mostly well earned. Now since then it feels like teams keep handing them first 22 players for a box of cheese and bacon shapes and it infuriates me. Is this league serious about equalisation or not? Because maybe they should practise it rather than insist the league admin do it all.

On the contrary, all of his tattoos seem to match being the same style and colour. Tatts aren’t my thing but I think a consistent/connected collection of pieces looks way better than tribal plus Chinese character plus mangled baby portrait plus deep and meaningful quote with spelling mistakes plus full colour sleeve of favourite Pokémon.

This is true, but they are AWFULLY feminine.

Well earned? It was the opposite of well earned.
 
It was a list largely made through good drafting and shrewd trading.

Now their list is being propped up with good players that have just fallen in to their lap in the trade periods.

A priority pick (right at the top of the draft no less) for being s**t for all of three minutes didn't hurt. Two generational forwards later.

Well earned ???

I tell ya what if we were given as many priority picks leading up to their window as that lot !!! Just wow
 
Then they fell into the well timed expansion of the league so the talent to challenge them spread thinner.

They deserve a bit of credit cos they still did a lot of things right but they sure had a heck of a lot of things go their way to create a perfect storm.

Meanwhile we peak at the same time as the combined powers of The All-Blacks, Golden State Warriors and Barcelona decide to morph into an AFL side and then plunge the depths of despair when all that's to be handed out in assistance is Krusty's Imitation Gruel.

Timing hey.

The AFL will probably find some loophole to let the Hawks re-draft Sam Mitchell as a replacement under the new SSP rules.

No, but it does honestly look like he walked in to a tattoo place and said 'have at it'. To me its super unlikely a young man, one that's an AFL player, would amass such a collection by deliberate choice.
