I can't believe that the Swans will let this bloke go, for a bit more money. Absolutely ridiculous.

They either delist or trade someone, or convince some players like Buddy , Tippett, McVeigh, Kennedy, Jack, Hanneberry etc, to take a small pay cut.

You don't lose a player like Mitchell.

And they won't.

 

These !st world problems were always going to occur after the great Buddy/Kirt swindle.

    Agreed. And Sydney have got a much better premiership window in the next 2-3 years than Hawthorn.

    Can you imagine the Swans win the flag, Mitchell wins the Norm Smith and then he leaves. 

    Swans will find a way to keep him.

    Maybe they don't rate him as highly as those outside the club.

    They've got Mills ready to step into the midfield along with Heaney spending more mid time.

    They have soooooo many quality mids and young gun mids that I'm FIIK how they can possibly keep them all under the cap along with Buddy and Kurt.

    Parker, McVeigh, Jack, Hanners, Kennedy, McGlynn, Heeney, Mills, blah, blah.

    McGlynn is 31 and will be gone soon for starters. Ted Richards is retiring.

    They have others they can get rid of.

    Heeney 2nd year

    Mills 1st year 

    Hewett, Richards, Papley, Aliir (injured) Marsh (omitted) plus I've missed someone. 

    Many games this year they've played between 5 & 7 first year players, and they've stood up. Where as we overpay hacks to come to this club ie Dawes/Lamumba.....

    I know it's not exactly the same thing but Ryan O'Keefe won the Norm Smith in 2012 and couldn't get a game in 2014. 

    I think Mitchell is a really good player but with the Swans salary cap I'd rather not pay him 650-700k or whatever it will take to keep him and head to the draft for more outside class and maybe another young tall backman. If the Swans can replace McVeigh and Grundy then they'll just keep winning. Now if the Hawks only offer a late first round pick and a fringe player and pay he'll stay for 550k then the Swans should lock him in, but if the cash isn't enough and the Hawks offer a good deal it's a win win.

    Every club misses players. Get over it.

    Thanks Nasher.

    I'm so sick of people talking about this theme, it's pointless.

    They're obviously offering him more than the Swans are.

    Probably, and it's likely other teams are offering more than the Hawks, that's the point, it's not JUST money he's after.

    Money + Wins + Playing Role + Personal Circumstances is the combination for any trade.

    The Hawks will be selling him on slightly more cash, similar chance of winning, the chance to be the number 1 inside ball winner in 2018 not stuck in a line behind Kennedy, Parker etc and whatever value there is in living in Melbourne.

    Yep, pretty clearly there's more to it than just money, otherwise he'd be off to Gold Coast or Brisbane.

    16 disposals, 2 goals 83 af at half time. Next to kennedy granted, but this shows you can't have too many elite inside mids. Certainly would be a deadly combo with viney. If Kennedy isn't ripping the ball out and distrubuting, Mitchell is there to crumb any spill from Kennedy's effort.

  • Quote

    Wasn't convinced but sold now after his first shot at goal. Was clearly nervous, had no idea what to do. Settled, kicked it over the umpires hat.

    Any connection with Roos? Get him in his ear. Surely we can offer him more than Whorethorn?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
