stop banging your head against a wall redleg. you'll find when you are clearly right about something, you won't get a straight response. mitchell himself said that Clarko put the offer to him and you could have knocked him over with a feather

yes, Ive heard the interview. you go on believing everything you hear mate

Wow, who would have thought the Hawks would push Mitchell out? Good of him to go along with the party line that his family want to live in WA lol. the coaching bit is just dressing, why not play out the year with Hawks and then move to coaching for WC the year after? Mitchell must be gutted, I would think he'd have loved to be a one club player. well played by Hawks, they needed to make big calls to get big players in and they are doing it

he has walked out on them. blues wanna keep him A-hole move on his part

Day one summary. Everyone wants to go to hawthorn or cats. If no interest from those two they want to go to the pies. Contracts mean nothing and being a FA has no relevance. Comp is becoming a joke

Hawks will have to get rid of some good players if they are to recruit Mitchell and OMeara. they need to get some picks but we dont have any so not we will help (assuming 27 goes for Hibberd) sounds like BS to me

True but you still see the vast majority retire at latest early 30's. And inside midfielders usually can't kick on very long due to the pounding their bodies take. IMO can't see Watson Stanton hocking lasting long at all. Not to mention the mental side of things, Watson was very close to not coming back

Don't understand people thinking bombers will be good next season. I'm tipping bottom four. Half the team haven't even seen the other half all year! stanton and Jobe (32 by start of season) are getting on and the lack of continuity will not help them. They have 6 or so good players and struggle after that. Poor ruck, no forwards aside from Daniher. Not much speed and spread. Missed the draft for 2 years. Not many kids coming through. I may be clouded by my rampant hatred for them however.

Any chance if a 30 day money back gaurantee? who'd the afl buy it off anyway? Drunken online purchase no doubt

thought this was going to be a thread about Vickory

PEEEDO!!! cant wait to see him bump and rag doll players next year. Adds some much needed big man aggression to the fwd line. Dawes will be gone now you'd think.

thanks for the link that is a really great honest interview from Hoges. I especially like the below line. seems like he may be drawing a line under the go-home factor. also interesting to hear him talk baout his last 6 weeks and not being good at taking criticism and the media affecting him. Love the bloke “It was all more hypothetical and more about if there was to be a time (to come home) this was it.

Well done Dees for giving him time but also not being pushovers. got it done by trade period. Thanks for staying Jesse!

Hartlett for Motlop is my tip cats might have to chuck in a draft pick or mitch clark to get it done

I reckon the players deserve one day of getting on the [censored] without media/community committments. poor by the club but I would do the same if I was a player. plenty of time to see ballarat fans later

wow you would think a former captain and great player of our club would get some respect I personally wish him a quick recovery and hope he makes it back to work

I see myself more like a crack addict thanks but seriously, HAS HE SIGNED YET!?!?

Salem? he one of a handfull that can kick a ball in our team at least wait til he has played a full season if you want to trade him. we would not get a top 10 pick for him now

AARRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah or maybe people's opinion is just different to yours Motllop is exactly what Geelong need, they rely on 2 A graders in their midfield so you have to ask why would they be interested in letting him go? He has averaged 16 possessions in 8 finals so clearly goes missing when the heat is on. Some might get seduced by his obvious talent but I'd prefer to make competiveness and heart a non-negoitable for trading players in. He looked like he wasn't even trying last week. he wouldnt get a look in at the Dogs under Bevo thats for sure

Make sure you tell him I said Hi

He is very talented. Also Soft, mentally weak and has no consistency. If Geelong can't get him to play he is done.

Lova ya Grimesy - all the best for the future. if he doesn't get on a list, I'd love to see him signed on a development coach or at least to help with training and standards. no-one did more to get the most out of themselves

God bless you Roosey. when you see that you realise how far he has taken us

yeah we get 'em too, Hunt, Wagner etc. I just reckon, on his merits he had a good year and should be rewarded for working his ar$e off and playing pretty well
