I'd go as far to say as he's the greatest decision maker the games ever seen

Was my favourite player at Hawthorn. But what's more important than his worth as a player is his footy brain which you will get with him as assistant as well.
I know opposition supporters can't stand him because he is a total smart arse but you love it when he is one of your own. As mouthy as they come. But he doesn't whinge about it coming back
Great club man who is fascinated in what each players brings. A very creative brain. I think he would be amazing in player development but even better with developing innovative game plans.
I hope you guys love Sammy as much as we have. I honestly think this could be a game changer for WC and he and Simmo will fit like a glove

Best sentient being in the history of the multiverse
The player development thing is super critical for us. We have recruited a lot of mids and flankers since Judd and Cousins left but not many have developed as expected.
I'm not really expecting miracles in a short period of time but if he does have an immediate effect on our 2nd and 3rd tier players then it will be very exciting

Sammy M said that when he joined Hawthorn that he watched Crawf and how hard he trained and that he wanted to be as good as him. Sammy is relentless with his own training.
I like that he isn't a James Hird/Michael Voss type - they were blessed with crazy talent and physical traits so ended up being s**t coaches because it may have been difficult for them to think of those less "godly" players.
Sammy has had to rely on his smarts and his work ethic - that's what you want your second and third tier players to be around.

That's actually what I was going to add re Pridis. Player wise that might not be a great balance but terrific mentors

How much time did he spend on ball and across halfback last season? Say 70/30?

I think Mitch was back in the centre a lot more this year but yeah he can obviously go to HB if needed.

Should Shep vacate the number 5?

He can take number 1 and Mitch Brown can wash both MITCHELL and SHEP's guernseys.

The Eagles also will consider adding their other trade acquisition, Sam Mitchell, to the leadership group in 2017.
Mitchell’s experience and leadership is clear, but Vozzo said although the 307-game veteran definitely won’t be part of the coaching staff in 2017, a leadership role hasn’t been discussed.
“We haven’t talked about the leadership group at this stage,” Vozzo said.
“That’ll be something for Adam to consider and we’ll make a call later on, it’s not something we’ve talked about.
Intredasting. He'll definitely be a leader on-field. Whether that is official or not doesn't really matter.
