They would get band 1 compo for him if he goes after next year although he is likely to keep them up the ladder a little and deny them an extra top 10 pick . its re -sign or trade now imo I couldnt see the dees giving up 2 and 3 for him. maybe a pick and a player or a shuffling of picks.

Viney and Sewell hunting the ball . ferocious .

Brad has been denied a new contract with the Hawks. A 30 year old inside mid with a wealth of knowledge and follow me playing style. Would he impede game time for new our young brigade including our possible draft picks Brayshaw and Petracca? Or be a great pick-up for 2-3 years? Not sure on his body and desire to continue but if sound its a yes for me.

I wouldnt trade 2 and 3 we should take the 2 best mids avaliable. Offer Merret and Malcheski 2-3 year deals we get Harretier for the Clarke Pick and then trade a player or 3 to get someone good . Pick up a ruck maybe the hawks 4 th in line.

If he came out and said look im really sorry to all the kids , grandma's fans etc but it was all too much at melbourne , geelong will be easier I hope to do well there with Riv and Chip . All will be forgiven .

Geelong were quoted today around an incentive based contract for Mitch . His reason for going is a change of enviroment and equally the club suggesting a fresh start . We have a right to know and to burn or empathize .

Competitive types who can play for 8-10 years would be great .

No doubt Bomber played his card when he said he would consider taking a job if there is a vacancy at the Gold ¥unts a few days ago . No way he wants any other job than his bombers . I hope Goodwin and Bomber are clear enough of the Dank mobile . It aint a kebab stand well it is a kebab stand .

John Barnes coach for 15 . Hirdy trying to avoid a marked passport or is it more? Liability? Someones gotta pay when the players go em for this and that.

Absolutely . Big red for guys to sun up around and to keep Pedersons intensity up at training.

Livid that we are losing a player coming into peak and a vital part of a serious push to a premiership. ffs.

An incentive based contract for Mitch and keep on with the aggressive recruiting. ethically.

There's a voice ( jet engine loud ) that needs a reply from Roos . Our best player not wanted by the club , convinced by Todd and Paul to have another crack elsewhere? Ffs . Clarke Dawes hogan forward line that we wil never see . The members were invested in Mitch Clarke and deserve more , he will go on and be a focal point at his new club for the right reasons and if they bookend with frawley - no words . My point is that yeah there's an industry thing free agency etc but we want a club culture like it could be . Loyalty , play for the jumper as we the members and supporters feel . With off field sorted well Ok the ocaasional player bails after serving time and after success . I could hack that but this , our club needs to talk honestly to its members on the Clarke exodus for a start . Many have tried and failed for the ultimate prize with satisfying results and life lessons in hand , cheap success if you get it Mitch and would taste a whole lot better if you had climbed the mountain with the group . This will get ugly on gameday you betcha .

Im certain we wont have pick 3 but should offer a player and 2 . The crows should ask danger to sign an extension now and if its i wanna wait trade him . This will be the future for guys coming into free agency a year later , only way the clubs can win , hawks were shafted on Buddy imo .

Varcoe's a decent get Knowing our luck we may have to shuffle a pick as well

Hardball . F em all .

Unhappy with our club at the moment , the team that never was . When will it come together ? Rivers Frawley Martin Clarke Pettard Maloney I know not everyone agrees on these guys but hell we had em and lost em for one reason or another. Enough

My blood boils at the thought of the three of them at geelong. Seriously

Chip hasnt gone yet , Waiting to see who we land in trade period- Harry o and Dangerfield . Clarke and Chip stay .

Best day of the year even if we are not there . The city is pumping and we are heading out to the hills for a bbq [censored] up . Will be a classic game Goodes again the matchwinner or if its the hawks they have played a loose in defence to pinch it , Hodge or Roughy . Go dees .

Dank admitted giving beta 4 in that interview before he knew it was banned . Damning evidence .

I wish Mitch every happiness in life as I do for most humans on the planet. That doesn't extend to Mitch having a great year at collingwood kicking 60 plus and leading the way to finals. I really hope he stays with the dees and gives it another crack If he heads elsewhere on a sporting level I would rather see him fail . Bitter eh . I will be disappointed in the dees and Mitch if the club said no to him and he kicks on elsewhere. But again I wish Mitch every happiness in life . almost.

See ya Mitch break a leg .

The atheletes convicted of doping will under asda rules be able to claim significant delay due to the investigation taking so long for no fault of the athelete . Probably wont include the clubs court case period but some of the asada investigation period . 6 month bans ? 3 months? Id wait and see before picking up a bomber drug cheat .

In Roos I trust - Load up - Harry O will contribute he is quick and has an explosive 2 nd gear . Perhaps the knock on his tendancy a long bomb could be due to game plan
