Sam Mitchell is officially a West Coast football player. And he was traded for pick 88. Take a moment. Let that sink in.
At 34 years old, the word was that Hawthorn wouldn’t get much back for their five-time best and fairest, but pick 88?
Just for context, here is who went at pick 88 in last year's draft … #AFLTrades pic.twitter.com/zzB3DCB1HT

Sam Mitchell is worth pick 88 apparently. Based off that the Pies are going to get a Mars bar and a free coffee for Travis Cloke #AFLTrades

Hawthorn's history with the No.88 draft pick: Tim Leng (1989), Aidan Bussell (1991) and Phillip Smith (1996). #AFLTrades #SamMitchell

Welcome the AFL New World Order where Sam Mitchell is worth pick 88 and Chris Mayne is worth pick 23. #SorryWhat

Mitchell: Hodgey text me this morning hanging it on me for being traded for pick 88!#NABTradeRadio

Still at Hawthorn, Jordan Lewis’ future remains a mystery.
Jordan Lewis called Simon Goodwin on Thursday night. He's filthy at Hawks. https://t.co/NsjbclzETw

Lewis management and Melbourne still talking. Your thoughts on whether Jordan still ends up leaving? @AFL

Graham Wright keeps on saying 'not at this stage' in relation to Jordan Lewis. @AFL

Hawthorn ranked 18th contested possessions in 2016
#1 at club Jordan Lewis (222)
#2 at club Hawks Sam Mitchell (216)#staggering— Mitch Cleary (@cleary_mitch) October 13, 2016
As was the situation yesterday, watch this space.
Another key defender from the Bulldogs could return home, with first year player Marcus Adams open to a trade back to WA.
One year at the Bulldogs and Marcus Adams requests a trade… the same club that gave him a chance as a mature age draftee… wow
— Jack Heverin (@JackHeverin) October 14, 2016
Been homesick for a while, Marcus Adams. Was super in 11 games this year …

The Saints and Hawks have done a pick deal which will surely be used to help get Jaeger O’Meara to Waverley.
‼️TRADE‼️Picks 10, 68 to Hawthorn. 2017 R1 and 2016 picks 23 & 36 to St Kilda #afltrades

It’s a good deal for the Saints, picking up the equivalent of a pick 18 in points.
Saints with a BIG win here assuming Hawks finish around same position in '17 as this year. #TradeSENtral pic.twitter.com/7W0MvLSEuW

Although they will be punting on the Hawks having a bad 2017.
So now St.Kilda supporters all have to pray for a Hawthorn Wooden Spoon…keep trading out those superstars thanks! #AFLTrades
— Tim Rosen (@timrosen35) October 14, 2016
If Hawthorn win the spoon next year, St Kilda have pick one. #justsaying

A rumour out of WA suggested North Melbourne’s star ruckman Todd Goldstein could join Sam Mitchell at the Eagles.
I'm sure it's pie in the sky, but the minute I catch wind of Goldstein to @WestCoastEagles being genuine, I'm hightailing it to @tabcomau
— Callum Chambers (@Kuytstanding) October 14, 2016
Todd Goldstein to West Coast? Yeah right. And Sam Mitchell well leave Hawthorn for a pick in the 80s.
Oh.
— Josh Elliott (@JoshElliott_29) October 14, 2016
But that was quickly shut down.
No truth to reports West Coast is pursuing Todd Goldstein
