What can you do about it

Nothing. But we got ripped off.

What can you do about it

Ask for the Hawks future first for starters. Mind you I'm not unhappy with either selection last season

Mitchell >>>>>>>>>>> Cameron

Oh swans

Enough of the being nice s**t off the field honestly.

Would have helped if Mitchell wanted to go to the wooden spooners.

This. There's a time an a place for nice but trading one of your best mids isn't the time. No wonder Hawthorn didn't blink and signed the deal in 3 seconds!

They'd already given away their next year's first for O'meara I think. Should've gotten a future second at least.

That too to one of our biggest rivals....

Grow a set Sydney.

He will have that in two years.

The Omeara deal was literally last day of the trade period though.

Get over the Mitchell trade. It's long done, we got a 1st round pick, move on.

By the way, we used that 1st round pick to upgrade to Hayward. I'm not complaining.

Think over the years the swans and the Hawks have kept a pretty good trade relationship and we probably wanted to maintain that. Obviously we received unders for Mitchell but probably come out on top overall in recent years.

There is taking under and taking a royal reaming though. The one thing that did surprise me a bit last year was how quickly we let the trade go through.

 

[Tedeski]

So we give up Mitchell for less than Cameron lol

Where is that family guy puke gif?

Mitchell for Hayward basically.
He says he wants to hit the midfield the young fellow so perhaps short term pain for long term gain.

That's done & dusted.

As I said, I was happy with who we got for the picks and Hayward will be a bonafide star, but it still doesn't mean we took a reaming from Hawthorn. Next time we might not be so lucky getting Hayward like players.

Swans need to grow a set and actually hardball a bit, at least for your top players.

Ultimately you do a deal that gets what you wany to your club. From all reports we wanted Florent & Hayward. We got the deal done early with the Hawks in order to trade up the draft with Port.

Can we set up a Tom Mitchell trade thread and put all posts regarding this into it. I couldn't give a flying f@ck what happened 12 months ago. Im only interested in whats happening now

 

[The Swans Blog]

Get over Mitchell for * sake.

 

[Jewelsbon]

Get over Mitchell for **** sake.

Please, for the sake of everyone's sanity, create a Mitchell only thread. Then those of us that don't want to keep going over and over and over and over something that is in the past and we cannot change can ignore it and read threads that we are actually interested in without coming across varying versions of Mitchell history!

Mitchell discussion needs to go to tsb RW. Nearly every thread is derailed by some Mitchell nonsense.

 

[BloodySwan]

Tom Mitchell (fourth best midfielder at Sydney) is the greatest player of all time and Parker is the worst. Anything related to the player who ran to chase money and opportunity (and also to get away from Horse) should be posted here.

 

[BloodySwan]

Mitchell is created. I think I summed up the most common complaints as well

 

[miggs]

Who?

I agree, but we actually already have a Mitchell thread:

Have merged.
