No Oppo Supporters Sam Mitchell traded

[OnceKicked50]

No nerve hit. Just trying to say the problem you have is you are looking for problems.
How do you know what we planned and nobody knows at this time what he will be worth in the end.
I find it more exciting that we could get a player that our club thinks is worth the high price we are willing to pay.

I think O'Meara will be a fantastic capture for the club. I see him as potentially a top 5 mid in the game if he gets an injury free run at it. However, personally I can't see how our efforts to secure him have gone to 'plan' for the reasons mentioned earlier. GW has a history of getting deals done prior to trade week. They are uncomplicated and done quickly. It seems like we are running around crazy trying to get something GC will accept that doesn't involve us losing Breust, Smith or Shiels.

If GC are accepting pick 10 and Sicily or Langford this should get done Monday. If that happens I will fully admit I am incorrect and everything worked towards GW's plan..

Just heard on ABC radio that Mitch is rumoured to be buying a 9 mil place in Pepperment Grove and will be the first million dollar paid assistant. They didn't say anything more than the headline but I'm not sure how the second part of that goes with the salary cap auditors? Essentially backending a deal?

I don't love pick 88 any more than anyone else.

But if you were a good young footballer looking for a club, who would you rather play for? A club that cops pick 88 on the chin to get you where you want to go, a la Hawthorn, or a club that talks tough and threatens to sit kids out a whole year or walk them to the pre-season draft on principle, like GWS or Gold Coast?

Pick 88 aint pretty but I'm proud to support a club that tries to do right by people, takes unders, and acts professionally.

I daresay players like this about Hawthorn too.

Buy cheap: perth property will be on a low cycle right now

The AFL has to give it's stamp of approval before any trade can be processed.

I truly wonder... if any other club had offered to trade it's B & F winner for puck 88, would the AFL approve?
I seriously doubt it.

I couldn't feel more dismayed by this random act of stupidity - it has deeply undermined my faith and respect for the club. To know that in addition to handing him over to a top 4 competitor for nothing we are also contributing to his salary? I simply cannot believe it. I have been a member for over 30 years but have just cancelled my silver family membership for next year. The impacts of this decision will be felt for years to come.

Thanks for giving us Sammy. I love that pic of him in the WCE guernsey.

Your welcome, he definitely won't disappoint you that's for sure

Does the no opposition supporters tag not mean anything anymore.

I had a dream about him last night. Called out to him and he came over smiling and gave us a big hug and we had a good chat. Rest assured he's going to a good home and will be well cared for as he was at Hawthorn.

You'll get shitcanned quick

Hope you put your pyjamas in the wash before heading to the forums?

So you're giving him 4 flags and a brownlow and 5 B&F's? Good luck with that.

 

[Coldacre]

More chance of Essendon winning the flag in 2017 than Mitch topping up his super at WCE.

glad to hear it!! I'll put the champagne on ice...

Another ******* nuffnuff who is too illiterate to understand what No Opposition Supporters
means.

The saddest thing about Mitchell leaving for WC is that he will not be on our list when they give your drug cheating captain's brownlow medal to him. Will still be a Hawthorn brownlow though.

I've got huge doubts Mitchell or even Cotchin would accept it.

Yes, looks that way, will just have to satisfy myself with the fact the drug cheat has it taken off him, and covet my fond memories of Mitchell's jab-jab gesture.

Yeah I had a similar dream but when he came over to give me a hug I wouldn't let him go. "I have to leave, I have a flight to catch" he said to me. "Nah mate, you can drive to dingley these days, it's really not that far" I told him...

I wish I could like this twice. I found it hard to look at for that exact reason!

Mitchell trade was not in the best interests of the club at all

Vomit

We just lost a Brownlow medallist.


He was a sh*t bloke, though

I was going to disagree with you but to be honest anyone who leaves Hawthorn is a s**t bloke to me.
