The guy is 33, has just won his 5th B & F and they ask him to give up being a one club player and help them out by playing with WC for a year or 2.

Clearly they won't get much for him from WC, other than salary cap space.

I think this is the sort of thing that will spread the cracks in Hawthorn's culture.

It's a terrible thing to do to Mitchell and deprives him of being a one club player and playing more games for his club, not to mention uprooting the family.

He said he has spoken to WC about coaching after footy a couple of years ago and has told Hawthorn.

He and Clarko have had a chat and of he is going to go and coach over there he might want to go and maybe play a year or two first its up to him .

The wife is happy to go now as the kids will be starting school next year so saves uprooting them later , the last thing this does is spread cracks in their culture if anything it shows they look after their people.

Certainly one from left field if it eventuates.

Hawthorn may try and make it work for them I guess and work it into either the Mitchell or O'Meara trades.

That is exactly what they are doing ,bloody smart club

Mitchell saying he is happy to go to WC or stay at the Hawks 

would defiantly have a look at him, might be gettable

hmm.....bad choice of words......in good faith to whom?  

To the club and their program 

Firstly i dont believe they are drug cheats in the Johnson,Armstrong,Jones,Powell way, they followed a club program in good faith and got it badly wrong does not mean they did it to cheat .

The club is guilty not these players who have paid a very big price for being to trusting but now they have served their sentence and everyone deserves a second chance but i know you wont change your mind and thats ok but when they are playing well for us next year and the years to come i will be happy and all this wont even enter my mind but i suppose you will sit there and not enjoy the moments.

Dont worry i will enjoy them enough for both of us.

Why move it? He is a convicted drug cheat from Essendon who now i am supposed to clap and cheer....

Yes, yes you are !!! cant stand dees supporters who bag our own all the time, thats for the opposition to do, some people are never happy you hear it all the time even when we are winning they have to find something to have a go at , just enjoy the ride      and as for Jake and Micheal now they have done their time so let it go.

Oh that goes for all the players involved in this drama. 

come on people enough is enough about the bloody drugs!!! either talk about what you think Jake can bring to the club ( on the field ) or just close the thread, by now we know everyones opinions on the whole saga so just let it go.

No one is going to change anyones mind so just get over it , we will all be cheering when he does good things on the field and moaning when he doesn't just like every other player who pulls in the red & blue are we going to go through all this again when Hibbard joins ?

Bloody hell as my wise mother used to say people who live in glass houses..........        

Welcome back Jake hope you have a great career at the Dees ...that is all that matters to me

Call me crazy but I am glad Hurley stayed, another overpaid under performer could damage the "chemistry" that we have going with the two Mac's and Frost. More to lose than gain in my opinion and if Hibberd is keen to come over who's spot does he take??

 Lumumba

hopefully going north

we need to trade more picks in ...

worth a second rounder ?

Would have the royal blue as a clash jumper for away games before the Sydney like jumpers we have now , at least it is still our design.

I HATE THE BLOODY WHITE we wear its not one of our colors and i think we look timed in them, if not the royal blue then i would rather our clash jumper just reversed our colors 

Thanks for that Angry cheers and yea i remember the Ezard thing  

No you are thinking of someone else Van Der Haar played CHB/CHF took ALOT of speckies in the 70's & 80's ,classic games against Knights from Hawthorn a great mark and lots of skill and guts - premiership player .

Paul Van Der Haar on open Mike said his son is training with Melbourne/Casey, trained with Essendon but apparently they wern't very interested but Melbourne were, does anyone know anything about him ? i think he said he has had a bad run with injury ( broken leg 4 times) i think he said.

If he is half as good as his old man was could be worth alook and i see he was CHB in the development team on the weekend, anyone know how he went 

lol i was 3 then always wanted to see the game but only been able to see bits and pieces .... bloody annoys me you can watch 1966.65. bloody 58 even some footage from 1940's but cant watch one Dees premiership win !!!!

Looking forward to todays game , hope Kennedy has a good game...good to see a small wearing 35 again Paul Callery was my favorite player as a kid... before he left over the Ridley sacking

yes.  Overlooking Melksham's status seems to me to be a mistake suggestive of a wrong attitude.  Not saying WJ has a wrong attitude, but his inclusion of Melksham on his list makes it sound like he is not respectfully aware of the enormous black mark against Melksham's name for the duration of 2016.  All of us should, in my opinion, be very conscious of MFC having become implicated after the event (quite unnecessarily) in something disgraceful.  I wish we'd never recruited any of the 34, and certainly wish we now maintained a very careful distance from Essendon's and the media's attitude to CAS's sanction.  Melksham is an embarrassment on our list in 2016; he can offer the club absolutely nothing but shame this year.

Long time reader,first time poster i dont normally post as generally i cant be bothered but i have to say your post is a disgrace and i am glad you have never made a mistake in your life,your last line is well ...just so wrong and as far as i am concerned it brings shame on you !!!! and ....well ....na cant be bothered,i just feel sad for you oh and by the way i dont think any of them are drug cheats,i think what was done to them was SOMETHING DISGRACEFUL.
