Traded Sam Mitchell [traded to West Coast with picks 54 and 72 for picks 52, 70 and 88]

[Cynic]

Hawthorn should let him walk.

 

[Boris the Contradiction]

If it happens, selfless by Mitchell is how I see it.

Good for him in the end if he transitions into a coaching role and a huge help to the Hawks.

Apart from cap space Hawks would get a little something in return unlike Geelong with Steve Johnson.

Well done.

It's his last massive pay day - good on him. Given that he's been taking a pay cut for years now, he's probably pissed that the club have offered huge overs for a spud like Vickery.

It will happen more and more often as the league becomes even more professional. "Providers of football services".

Upgrade 14 and Mitchell to 12 is fine by me.

That will allow lots

This is proof that some 'jornos' read big footy for stories.

What they need to realise now is that people on here make stuff up for fun.

Yep, proof.

 

[Halftimehero]

WTF?

 

[Tulip]

Meanwhile, if Hawthorn wants to extricate the soul from its playing list - its fine by me.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Looks like the finals exit was a bit of a wake up call for the Hawks

 

[BobbyMorri]

First page is golden. wow, what a shock. For Mitchell to be the best coach he can become, he has to leave the nest one day. And in this way, he is still helping his club out. ultimate pro.

WCE will give Hawks a pair of steak knives, which will probably go straight to us to try and clinch the other Mitchells deal.

Surely ****ing not.......

Yep agreed makes alot of sense. Then 12 goes to Sydney and we have a new younger Mitchell.

12 and Hill for 7

It sounds crazy when you first hear it but if you think from mitchells perspective its a pretty great move - he has a really young family right? So a good set up to start coaching at a big club and start something fresh.

 

[La Vache]

Sounds like a certainty. To be honest rips my guts out to watch him in another jumper

Surely ******* not.......

It's not april fools. He said it himself.
Raised 12 months ago by clarko with a view to coaching.

 

[Pusswah]

West Coast filling a kneed.

 

[eastfreo75]

So youre telling me West Coast are getting Sam 'corkie' Mitchell? Some added derby spice.

Good chance that Mitchell will be kneed on the street.

Straight from the horses mouth, seriously considering it.

I guess, just didn't expect to see that article this morning.

 

[00Stinger]

there is already a thread on the draft & trading board

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

He will return to succeed Clarkson

We thought Buddy was going to kill our culture!

He'll go for a 4th or 5th round pick.
Salary Cap relief is what Hawks get & Sam Mitchell gets the good money he wants plus a coaching role.

 

[treefingers]

From his point of view - a smart move. From a Hawthorn supporters point of view - devastating.
