Tom Mitchell, recovering from a broken leg and now a Hawk until the end of 2023

training accident during a stoppage drill

So it was a tackle? Was it someone falling on his leg or was he twisted in a tackle? I keep thinking legs bones are hard to break. Apparently not.

Someone fell on it, if it was twisting would have been a much more complicated break, so out of the turd sandwiches we could have been served we got the less shitty one

Tim Watson saying Hogan has to be accountable for his own actions in the video embedded in this article lol.

That's a laugh, the Watson family have about as much accountability and integrity as a Columbian cocaine cartel.

Irony intended or is he really that blind to his hipocrysy?

You may be right or the sense of impunity that seem to come from a long life inside the AFL bubble/media.

Reminds me a bit of this.

Quite possibly, however I would like to think we wouldn't risk his well being so that we can have him play finals.

If we're confident that he's fully fit and it'd pose no long term ill effects to his wellbeing, he'll play for sure.

If not, I'm more than sure the club will hold him back so that he can get himself right.

Yep I totally agree with this 100%. If he has any complications like swelling and the what not then finals or not I think its more about 2020 and beyond rather than Hail Mary premiership. I want to see what a midfield of Mitchell, JOM, Worpel, Shiel and hopefully Cogs with Smith and Scully on the wings can do.

So if we do deep in the finals is he a chance?
Not jumping the gun but this has really soured the season for me

Slight chance

It’s pretty interesting to see Tom travelling so much with the boys. He’s a pretty obsessive footy player and Hawthorn seem to be using this period of time to build more leadership and long term coaching possibilities into him. Would love to know what he is contributing to the boys alongside Sammy M.

After spending the season sitting at the foot of Sam Mitchell's learning tree, he'll be even more frightening come 2020

Might see the game in a different way too. Forces him to detach from himself and look at the team approach. Not suhgestonghe doesn’t already but this is surely what he would get from this experience

Is Tom Mitchells season Definitely over?
Teams can place players on one of three inactive lists: a long-term injury list, a season-ending list or a retired player list.
Does anyone know onto which injury list Tom Mitchell was placed?
It seems to me that if the Hawks took an SSP Rookie, other than Reeves for Langford, then Tom season would definitely be over. But they didn't.
They instead upgraded Nash from a Cat B Rookie to the Senior list (which indicates they put Tom on the Long Term Injury list: which only requires that he is out for a minimum 8 weeks) and so we left the door open for a return this year.

Mitchell is on the long-term injury list. Nash was upgraded.
If Mitchell is fit to return this season, Nash will be downgraded again. He will need another LTI to be upgraded, such as Mohr.

Langford was on the retirement list and Ned Reeves was taken to replace him.

The door is open for Mitchell to return this year.

Mitchell is currently on target to return at about Round 18, but obviously the rehab has to continue to go well and also we have to be in a fairly good position on the ladder or they simply won't bother even if he's healthy.

So what are his odds on Norm Smith atm?

Wasn't Moore a Rookie himself? Or does it make a difference the category of rookie that he was (Cat A vs Nash Cat B?)

Moore is senior list.

Mohr is a rookie. Dylan Moore is senior listed.

 

[artman]

If the Rance talk about possibly returning to the finals I guess Mitchell is chance unless Toms break was worse.

Yeah - sorry. Stupid autcorrect. That was what I was meaning.
