Welcome to Hawthorn - Tom Mitchell - 2018 Brownlow medalist

[Hawker55]

This is a massive get by us. Will be the backbone of our side for the next decade.

 

[Gene Simmons]

I agree with the sentiment of many posters that Tom Mitchell is going to have an immediate impact to our side.

Now next question.. Does he get the #5?

I know.. too soon..too soon

also, welcome Tom.

We are getting later picks. We will give them when we get them.

We have probably agreed to swap, for example, the highest 'fourth round pick held' after whatever other deals we are trying to do with a few contingencies anticipated and agreed upon. We might need to move picks out before we can grab a third or fourth or even with round back in for a fringe player. Just gives certainty to Tom now and flexibility for us and/or the swans for the rest of trade period.

Great deal by the Hawks.

Another 'Steal' for the Hawks - pick 14 - Sydney must be still drowning their sorrows to agree to that. Tom Mitchell is a gun and will only get better.
Soooo jealous

They got Kennedy and Bud from us previously so they've done ok too.

Just waiting on the Mayne compo to work out a later pick swap.

 

[TAITA]

Welcome TOM - I look forward to many, many years of you in the brown and gold.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Welcome to a side that can actually win flags. Welcome to the family club, T-Mitch - I think you're going to like it here!

Let's put the Sam Mitchell bombshell aside.

In isolation this is an excellent trade for us. Pick 14 is very good value for a 23 year old contested beast whose midfield minutes have been restricted while playing at Sydney (annoyed me in super coach!). When you consider what Collingwood sacrificed for Treloar, pick 14 is a bit of a steal. We have a 7-8 year midfield gun.

Pleasing to see how professional Sydney and Hawthorn were in getting this sorted. Both clubs have lost and gained players over the last few years and treat their players with respect on the way in and the way out. That's why more players want to go to each club.

The immature losers at Gold Coast have a lot to learn.

The Bondi Billionaires are squeezing the bejesus out of their cap. Franklin's increased to 1.2mil for next year. (I think I read that somewhere)

Ah, Lance Franklin.... the gift that keeps on giving...

Quick, professional, focused and effective work by GW as always has given us a welcome addition of grunt to the engine room.

If he stays healthy we may very well end up with 200 games, 2000 tackles and 6000 disposals from young Titch over the next decade.....

 

[Gralin]

Welcome to the club Tommy

 

[threesixpio]

Weird time for our club. Does feel like the beginning of a new era but it was always around the corner.

Titch looks great and could be a Hawthorn legend in his own right long term. Welcome

Just waiting on the Mayne compo to work out a later pick swap.

Freo got compo pick 23 for Mayne

 

[TazHawk15]

Freo got compo pick 23 for Mayne

Then that's what the Hawks will get for Hill.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Welcome to the club, you have a massive void to fill in the centre square in 2017.

 

[Davo-27]

Then that's what the Hawks will get for Hill.

hasnt that already been agreed too?... i thought they were just waiting for the pies to get mayne

btw Welcome Tom

 

[MrPremiership]

Wright said the "pick swap" would be very late in the draft, so i don't think that means swaps on the 23 Mayne/Hill compo. Thinking more 3rd/4th rounders

Either way, massive steal

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Not one bit excited about this. At what cost? Rather the Mitchell you know.... Said it before, I loathe trade period.

 

[mightynineteen]

Welcome Tom.
Great pick up, just what our mid field needs.
