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.

    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.

    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?

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
