List Mgmt. Welcome to West Coast - (Brownlow Medalist) Sam Mitchell

[Dannyblech]

I reckon that Mitchell can be the missing link for our midfield. Bring on 2017!

The game against Adelaide at subi was the worst. My dogs went and hid in the bedroom

Can you guys go get a room (pc) already?

That's where I disagree, I don't think you can assume anything of a 34 year old player. Father Time is always on the doorstep.

I see what you are saying and, as someone pointed out earlier, we are only giving up pick 88. But I still don't feel great about the trade, in terms of the playing list I cannot see the recruitment of a 34 year old as looking at the future. In terms of your point about coaching, well there are plenty of candidates out there and there is no guarantee that Mitchell, great player as he is, will be better than average at it (e.g. Hird, Buckley, Voss).

You can assume as much from Mitchell as you can from just about any senior player on our list; anyone can be 1 injury from the end. But, with his record you'd be hopeful for a season or two, and at 88 with our list profile... it was a no brainer.

He wasn't recruited to be our head coach either, like the names you've mentioned. It'll be handy having a primary on-field architect of 4 premierships helping Simpson in the future...

Did they find Darling in there or had he already been traded?

So you deal with losses by turning into a depressed teenage girl acting like she just got dumped?
I prefer to go the throw a tantrum like a 3 year old route myself. Shout and scream a bit, throw things around and then sulk for a couple of hours

I'm really happy i live OS after loses, very easy to disconnect from the footy and not get constant "media reminders"!!

I think he'll have the one year deal with the option of a second, which I reckon will occur.

Can't wait to see him in the wings.

I had a dream about Sammy last night, saw him, he saw me, I called out to him "Sammy boy welcome to the club mate!" He came over with that smile, gave us a good hug and we had a good chat. Good times.

Thanks for only subjecting us to the G rated version.

 

[SloppyJoe]

Hope he tells them that Hawthorn don't rate them at all and they are recognized nationally as a midfield with a soft underbelly.

Ohh to be a fly on the wall.

EDIT: And that Fyfe is a big sook. Hi Freo lurkers

If he has any nous it will be something along the lines of: "Nic has been carrying your midfield for years, now he is gone you will be exposed, but watch and listen to me and you might learn enough to get by until he comes back"

Also a perk of living in Melbourne - Vic media try their best not to mention the Eagles much.

Still not sure there is any perk of living in melbourne. s**t weather + pricktorians everywhere. This is long before we even get on topic with the amount of collingwood/carlton/essendon supporters etc. etc. there are.

Something something coffee, something something driving...

The way the hawks are going we could have traded Darling for about 8 of their players, would have been a bargain
