Farewell Mitch Hannan

I can't say I'm disappointed by this.

Will be forever thankful for that goal in kicked on the run in the elimination final. One of the best highlights for me in the past decade. I could watch that over and over in my mind until we win a flag.

He is a great mark for his height, has a nice kick, however, Mitch was too inconsistent. He often went missing for large chunks of games. He was very injury prone and didn't get great runs at having a full preseason under his belt. I guess he falls into the category of being a great second tier player that can show glimpses but his loss isn't going to hurt us.

I wish him all the best at the Doggies (except of course against us).

    In that article it says we offered a two year deal but the Dogs trumped us with a three year deal.  

    Feels like the Dean Kent trade from a few years ago.  I'm happy that we didn't offer three years as I don't believe his last few seasons warranted such an offer.

    He is Kent mark two. If 3 years is what it takes then as you say like Kent then good luck son.

    I can understand why he wants a 3 year deal, but I can also understand why we didn't offer it.

    If the Dogs want him for three years then more power to them and to Hannan.

    He is IMO one of those players who is too good for reserves but just not good enough for seniors. He is not the first and won't be the last.

    No loss to us as he's promised so much & delivered very little.....

    A good VFL player but that's all.

    Love to see a play for Lin Jong rather than a pick. Similarly to Hannam had injury issues but has a precocious ability and is a low risk investment

    Disagree, excellent foot skills and could release Salem into a more damaging role from half back. I know Riv is slated for that spot but again as opposed to pick 57 or whatever we could rightly expect for Hannan I just see more upside

    i have a sneaky suspicion hannan deal could be a late one after we've accrued enough points to trade into their first round pick through our other deals. but we could also flip such a pick for a phillips/higgins type which is more valuable than jong. + given no one has seen much of this draft class u have a better chance of getting a good slider at 57 than in previous years, if u look at it optomistically

    I think the game might have passed Lin Jong. Had potential (and was deceptively tall) but injuries at bad times didn’t help him. He was someone that needed the development to realise raw talent and he just didn’t get it.

    Dogs probably need to sort out their JUH picks.

    They've got 40 and 53. We might get 53 but more likely a future 3rd or 4th I think.

    Dogs also have the Dunkley stuff hanging over their heads as well.

    Hannan strikes me as a deal that will done on the final day with about 30 minutes to spare.

    Difficult for me  as I see something worthwhile in Jimmie but as many here have said doesn't bring it every week.

    I guess Pick 53 is enough.

    Yeah I rate him higher than a number of the fringe players but not high enough to offer him 3 years.

    Yes we should push for pick 41 but it’s extremely likely that Dogs will only offer pick 54.   
    Other tough option is to jump up 3rd rd pick and do Hannan + MFC pick 53 = Dogs pick 41.

    Mitch is now worth more in the market than Jesse Hogan - wow how things change

    I rate Mitch and like him as a player - seems to have all the skills and physical characteristics to be a very good footballer but sadly never seems to get the ball enough and contribute consistently. Hence can see why a long term deal is difficult for the club - obviously WB's see things differently  

    Hopefully letting him go doesn't turn into another Jeremy Howe :(

    This will be a token trade to help out the player. We won't be getting much value for him. He was a pick 46 in 2017, we'll probably get a pick in the 50s back for him.

    Will always remember that running goal against the Cats in finals!

    You seem to be totally ignoring that the Dogs need points for JUH.  There is no way they're trading 41 unless they have sufficient points from somewhere.

    Spot on Wiseblood. I am always astounded at this time of the year how so many don't understand the process. Hannan is not that important in the scheme of things.

    Given that we're going to get bugger all for him, do we just delist him and let the Dogs pick him up for free as a delisted free agency.

    Don't we need to reduce our list size anyway?

    Leave it to the experts, you may be surprised at the outcome.

    Not ignoring just forget in this crazy world of picks and points.
     

    So likely future 3rd round is our best outcome.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
