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.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
