He was number one at Sydney in one important stat: doesn't go missing in Grand Finals.

Luckily for us, that's not an important key indicator for them.

They love their grand final snowflakes up there in the Harbour city.

Tom doesn't melt under the blowtorch, so he didn't fit that culture.

Nah he was 2nd behind Joey. But to me it was always obvious there was daylight to 3rd.

Longmire truly ****ed up with Mitchell.

They are right he plays for Hawthorn :)

I'll give you Bud. Good in 2012, save for kicking too. But he's a product of HFC culture, and arguably Kennedy too.

No-one else in the same category as Mitchell in their last GF disaster.

Which really obviated how wrong headed they are up there, and what they value.
