Recommitted Tom Mitchell [contracted and staying at Hawthorn]

[Taylor]

McGuire interviewing Clarkson before the game asked him if he spoke to the squad before the match and Clarkson responded not to make it about him, Shaun or Tom (I believe he said Tom).

Has another Tom at Hawthorn indicated they are leaving?

It’s his 150th.

150 games.

 

[Taylor]

Perfect, thank you

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

There’s no one like him for ball winning ability.

 

[SSwans2011]

He still any chance of leaving? Would make loads of sense for Brisbane to look at him if Neale goes.

Mitchell is 30 doesn’t make any sense for the Lions

Doesn't it? 1 year older than Neale and you guys are in your window. Seems like a really appropriate replacement to me.

 

[aussie80s]

Fairly sure he's 28

 

[blueiris]

Fairly sure he's 28

Think he stays at Hawthorn anyway so it doesn’t matter how old he is

 

[SSwans2011]

Fairly sure he's 28

Yeah, thought 30 didn't seem right.

He is 7 days younger than Neale

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Titch is the same age as Neale.

 

[theiaofseed]

Mitchell is 30 28 doesn’t make any sense for the Lions

An inside bull that's almost identical to Neale in stats and age(Mitchell had the better year), perfect replacement.

Was going to say, probably the single most like-for-like replacement in the competition.

I'd consider him!

If Hawthorn want to move Mitchell you’d think Brisbane would be the most logical choice.

 

[TylerDurden]

We'd look at it in a 3 way for Cerra I reckon. Only if Tom was pushing to leave.

It would take some changing of lower picks. Even then i think Freo and Brisbane will both want too much for it to happen

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Tom might have a couple of clubs asking for him now.

According to a poster on our board with some mail Richmond are sniffing.

Hawthorn aren’t desperate to keep him. I reckon people are going to be shocked by how little he fetched in a trade compared to what they’d have hoped

 

[Scotland]

If Brisbane can somehow turn Neale into Mitchell and make a profit then that'd be a win.

Assume Freo get 6 and 24 for Cerra and have 6, 8, 24, 26. They then trade say 8 and 26 for Neale.

Brisbane end up with 8, 14, 18, 26. Hawthorn have 5, 20, 23.

If it costs the Neale compo to get Mitchell then I'd say don't do it. But there are plenty of combinations Bris and Haw could work out. Bris need points for next year's draft also.

He’s contracted. The club will take what they deem acceptable, or they will not.

You would think 14 would be the starting point and then it is trying to workout what else is added on either side

Not sure why Hawthorn would be willing to let him go for less, hypothetically they should be asking for whatever Neale gets.
