Exactly. We are in agreement then that the Mitchell trade is a smart move.

 

Read what I said Stuie, too many players for too long.

    Hawthorn clearly looking out for the future here and making a shrewd decision which will pay off long term. However, you can't replace a Sam Mitchell or a Luke Hodge. They are generational players.  

    Yep, can't replace them with identical players, but one way or another they're leaving soon and better to replace them with two really talented kids than two speculative late draft picks.

    Ok, so you think they should keep Mitchell for one more year, miss out on O'Meara and possibly Tom Mitchell as well and then have nothing when he retires...

    Good plan.

    Good plan.

     

    So you think the plan all along, was for Clarkson to give Mitchell the shove and the pick they get from West Coast for him would be enough to satisfy both Sydney and Gold Coast? What a genius.

    You really can't comprehend this situation can you?

    What's happened to that rumour? Has it gained any legs? Lewis is a sniper, but I'd take him for a year or two and then as a coach.

    I doubt they'd let both Mitchell and Lewis go in the one year.

    Maybe it was one or the other?

    Who knows.

    Interesting that Brad Crouch is being discussed by AFL.com.au as a possible swap for Gibbs. Would improve their midfield immediately.

    I don't know how anyone can think this is good for Hawthorn. It looks like they will lose their best and fairest, who was on a low wage contract, for a low draft pick. And at a time while they are in the premiership window. It could well cost them a flag.

    Because Mitchell was always likely to retire next year so they are able to bring O'Meara and Mitchell in.

    Makes sense.

    Carlton would be grinning at that. Especially at the age bracket.

    As much as I enjoy everyones conversation and discussion topics here, we haven't had anyone (Or I havent seen) anyone do some really nice Hans Christian Andersen work and engineer a story here about how it is advantageous to us Demons...

    I'll start...I think Jordan Lewis will come to us in a similar deal.

    They should ship off a lesser player for a draft pick if they need the cap space. As I said, Hawthorn are in the premiership window and this makes them worse. The pick they get for Sam Mitchell won't be enough to help them get O'Meara and Tom Mitchell.

    This 'Trade Whisperer' account on Twitter is absolutely hilarious to follow. He bans everyone who questions his posts and has the maturity of an 8 year old. Don't know the validity of his claims and sources, but for what it's worth...

    Surely he can't spend the whole of trade period discussion whether Hibberd goes for a 2016 or a 2017 second rounder.

    Must be more brewing...

    That's already been rumoured, many pages back.

    Huh? That's not the news I just read...

     

    Via the AFL trade updates page:

    A SAM WEIDEMAN UPDATE

    The young Melbourne key forward kicked two goals on debut against Hawthorn as the Demons came away with an upset win to have supporters excited. With Jesse Hogan having recommitted to the club until the end of 2019, Melbourne will have a couple of tall targets in attack over the next few years.

    According to his manager Ben Williams, Weideman will target playing about 15 games next year. Last year's No. 9 pick needs to put on weight, but that has to be gradual so he doesn't break down. An iron deficiency also made it harder for him to become heavier.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
