So ah, what’s the go with Sam?

This.

Help a brother out?!

Boys not back at training until December 4, excluding 1-4 year players.

He wouldn't be used during draft time.

No rush getting him back

I heard Sammy won't be coaching Box Hill despite many predicting that, does this mean he'll be taking charge of our midfield in place of Ratten?

Future Captain

Agree, but after Xavier Ellis!

It's already been announced that Max Bailey will be Box Hill Hawks coach, you would think/hope Mitchell will be coaching the midfield group...

I thought that was Burns/ Newman.
Yze fwds.
Glass backs.

Not sure.

I got a twitter alert on my phone which looked like an official Sam Mitchell announcement only to find the tweet had been promptly deleted

Yes I saw the tweet, deleted in seconds. The link went to a dead page, so maybe they are trying to fix? Either that or someone has an itchy twitter finger!

It said Mitchell coning back as an assistant coach (obvs)

Loved Changa. Good to see him advance his coaching career.

Look what Sam did with that West Coast midfield.

Now imagine what he can do with Tom, Jaeger, Wingard, Worpel etc!!!

 

[bradburygold]

What will his role be? backs/fwds/mids/stoppages already filled

 

[Roddy]

Assistant coach to Clarko....what's their record been recently?

Make no mistake. This is massive.

Keen to see now who we replace Jack with.

Wonderful news. Sam is one of the most talented and hard working players I've seen in my 42 years of supporting the Mighty Hawks.

His vision and ability to read the play is second to none.

Very proud to have Sam's #5 on my Hawthorn jumper.

Welcome home, young man!

I would think that there's an inhouse option that the Hawks will take to replace Russell.

 

[MatteeG]

As big as any on-field signing this year. Rapt!

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Great news, welcome back Sam!

No pay wall yet.
Just wait until Slobbo realises it's a hawks story and makes us pay.

 

[GrumpyOldFart]

It's a Murdoch rag so I won't read it even when it's free!

You guys might end up with two generational coaches back to back if he takes over from Clarko eventually. Really helped turn our midfield into a weapon this year, don’t think we would have won the flag minus Gaff and NN without him behind the wheel.

Sucks to lose him mid contract but as he said “Perth is a great place, but it became apparent that with the heavy travel commitments, and living in an isolated city away from our support network, was not conducive with a young family.”

That’s just the reality of life sometimes, almost every club would do the same to a player or coach who wanted to go back home.

Off field signing of the year!!
Welcome home Champ!
