Because he was poor on Friday and people have short memories.
So one poor game and he is on the chop?

My bad told you Thursday cant come quick enough
Meant its a joke he came up
I didnt suggest it
Would hardly trade one of the best youngsters in the side
No. I've thought this for along time, the amount of money invested has not been worthwhile and I don't believe he is a player that will develop much further, JPK is no speedster and Parks is a little light on for pace, too many one paced mids might be too many, plus we will need the draft pick to get Mulls or Dunkley. If the 500k per year is true, are we getting value? At least with Tippo we can bung him in hte ruck and he does a reasonable job

We are starting to get value from Mitchell
Bit hard to deliver when you arent picked
Guess it also depends on the truth in the 500k
I think trading mitchell now would be throwing a big investment down the toilet, but just my view
Quite true, but are we relying on him to improve and keep paying or go after the academy talent? If it was up to me I'd get rid of Tippet as well and find a mobile ruckman, somewhere, probably the land of Oz lol

I think there's a few other players we can get rid of before Mitchell. Too much of a knee jerk reaction following one bad match.

jeez, one "bad" game. He'll be fine.
I can see I', not making my point properly, or it's mot getting thru on this board, it's not a knee jerk to one bad game, it's list management and salary cap restrictions. Is he worth 500k? will he takea pay cut? Will Tippett?

I know you are not reacting to one game, you are saying he is not worth what we pay him full stop.
I still disagree
not sure Tippett and Mitchells contracts are linked
I never said they were linked, but they are both on too much money to be sustained.

Tippett is yeah I agree.
If Mitchell is on 500k then probably but i would be comfortable going around that mark again for him to stay just my viw
Ok, if you have to choose between Parker and Mitchell, who stays? And if we have to give up 2 years of picks to get Mills from the academy who do we trade out for high draft picks
There may be, but what is their value in terms of getting draft picks capapble of securing us Mills in next years draft

Probably the 5 'years'.
Simple mistake regurgitated ad nauseoum.
If it was 5x300k it would've had to be back ended. Can only earn the draftee wage your first two years. For example, Tom Boyd's only getting his original wage this year. So 500k wouldn't be too far off from Mitchell's 3rd year onwards.

Think I'm on the same page as a lot of you. I don't think he's a star but I'd have him in the 21 every week and wouldn't be subbing him out just because he's had a quiet game. What's overlooked is, despite his lack of pace, in his first couple of years he actually put on elite pressure in the forward line so I'm not sure his pace is a big issue.
Also don't think it's an issue having him, Kennedy and Parker in the midfield. Hawthorn have Mitchell/Hodge/Lewis, Freo have Barlow/Mundy/Neale, we have Ziebell/Cunnington/Swallow etc. Having Parker and Kennedy rest forward isn't the worst thing either.
