I hope he spews up if we win the flag
Had the option of signing on for a couple of years on very good coin and still snaked us. Hope we make him regret that decision.

Posted in here so as to not derail the trade thread.
Tom Mitchell is looking to be traded from Hawthorn.
I for one think we made the right call by not prioritising him over others.
I'm not prepared to say the game has moved past the Mitchell types completely, but it does feel like they have become less essential than they were 5-10 years ago. And if their ball-winning isn't essential, but they're not offering any dynamism either, then is the need to have them on the list enough to make up for the cost of having them on the list?
Adelaide reached this inflection point with [PLAYERCARD]Matt Crouch[/PLAYERCARD], and I think Hawthorn have reached it with Mitchell.

Difference being that Hawks were trying to give him the nudge last year when he was contracted and it was late in the game. This time it has apparently come from Mitchell himself and his camp. Near identical to the Hewett situation. Team unsuccessfully pitches a trade, so waits a year for the player to pitch it himself.

I agree 100% with your point!
Once again we were ahead of the curve and knew what we were doing...
However, I completely disagree with your use of 'inflection'...
"Inflection" is a wonderful word!I agree 100% with your point!

A perfectly cromulent word and I do think caesar88 should be applauded if the use of the word embiggens an individual's lexicon.
[PLAYERCARD]Tony Armstrong[/PLAYERCARD] plays in a flag for Barwon Heads against raging fav Torquay , good on him.
[PLAYERCARD]Xavier Richards[/PLAYERCARD] only kicked 1 for Old Xavs in their 1st semi final loss , i wonder whether they will have Hanners next year , his old school .

Come homes Hanners. I wouldn't even care if you don't play a single game for the Swans
Cressa gets his Wang Rovers in to the Prelim v Yarrawonga this week , the winner to play Ben Reids Wang Magpies in the Ovens and Murray FL. It will be the end of his coaching as he wants to watch his sons play
