I suspect us trading Mitch for future 3rd is Part 1 of this deal...

with Part 2 involving us snaring the Doggies pick 12 for equivalent (or just overs) in points, once the Ben Brown and Preuss deals are done...

My guess is the trade will be Hannan + 68 for a future 3rd pick.

68 should come into the 50's and provide the doggies with more points this year for their academy selection while a future 3rd gives us trading flexibility as replacing that future 3rd round pick we traded to the lions allows us to trade our future first if we so wish.

So close!

hannan is exactly the same as about 12 other players on that doggies list in terms of output and looks lmao. fits right in with their band of mid sized so-so players. happy with this

Gowers - 3

their version of

Hannan - 9

bedford - 2

bennell - 5

vandenberg - 12

when realistically none are afl level (2020 games played)

Mitch Hannan  good skills with hands strong mark good goal sense and he could tackle. His form has not been great since  2018. 

Wish him the best as he was an honest player for us. That goal  v Geelong is one l will always remember. 

Good luck Mitch.

Gowers is delisted and Dale is the only pure forward there and he’s out of favour. With Cavarra a pressure type. Hannan’s either handy depth or allows them to move Richards to the backline, wing or on ball. Richards is very talented but ordinary as a forward 

Smith (wing/back) and Duryea (back) are the kind of depth who would be handy for us. Although not as handy as the top dogs in those roles. 

 

Exactly the sort of player the Dogs don't need. They are in real trouble and 2016 is looking more and more like an aberration.

Bit of a bummer really, because there is clearly some talent there.

He just stagnated for whatever reason after showing some promise in his first 2 years.

Best of luck, and as others have said, thanks for probably our best "moment" in the last 20 or so years.

An interesting question in itself. What is everyone's best "moment" in the last 20 years or so? It's now just over 20 years since we last played in  a Grand Final, so in my assessment (but it doesn't have to be everyone else's view), it has to be something since then. It's testament to how few "moments" we've had that I'm struggling to come up with any. 

I think I'll go with (believe it or not) Jack Watts' first game, or, at least, the lead up to it. That was so exciting although, like most things Melbourne, ultimately disappointing. Second on my list might be one of Jurrah's goals where he seemed to kick the ball over his head for a goal at the MCG.

And Hannan is actually on the list for something else. A clever mark on the lead he took in the final against Hawthorn which I think he then converted into a goal.

 You compared Smith and Hunt AF points. Not Melksham.

I've genuinely tried to help you.

As for Smith.. I would not have him in my 3rd grade team

That's because we are a better team and were badly coached

Hunt in the fwd line takes one mark, kicks one goal = 10 AF points

Smith in Defence makes 10 spoils, holds his opponent to 0 possessions = 0 AF points

Yep - Smith out the door... Pity he was not as good as his Dad

You're welcome

Hannan would never be in a MFC premiership side unless injuries occured in the finals, he was in the 2018 side because Kent got injuryed, not because he played great football.

If you look at the 2018 final against Geelong the ball was coming down the ground and the Geelong defender was in front and fell over making his life easier, in the other games in the finals he did not fire at all.

I wish him good luck but I am not one of his fans because he is a lazy footballer and an opportunist.


Good luck Mitch thanks for 2018.!!!!!!!!!

Dogs have sold him the dream of 3 years as a fringe player where we could only offer him 2. In his shoes we’d probably do the same.

afl article i read reported he signed for 2 there? which surprised me because i also thought it was the extra year (alongside the homecoming) that drew him

 

 All the best Mitch and thanks for my favourite football watching memory of all time.

 And I prefer this clip cause ... Brian Taylors not calling.

I wasn't aware of that Turner. I think we gave him every opportunity to nail down a permanent position during his time with us but if he thinks the grass is greener in Wefo then good luck to him.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
