Tom Mitchell

[No 4]

They won 4 Premierships with their strategy. They picked up Gibson, Lake, Burgoyne, Frawley & McEvoy who were all vital to their success. They wouldn't regret any of their trades apart from Wingard who is talented but a flog.

Yes but they still had the core group lead by Hodge & co. Those players were top ups to assist them. but from 2015 to now (7 years of picking, lucky if they have 10 players still on their books from the early picks), they have plenty of used by date players from later picks.

Sydney flag 2012. Mitchell plays for them 2013-2016.
Hawthorn flags 2013-14-15. Mitchell plays for them 2017-2021.
Richmond flags 2017-19-20. Mitchell plays for them 2022-? ???.

Tom Mitchell ... escorting teams out of their premiership windows?

Tom, the trick is to pick who's going to win the NEXT few flags, not the last few.
Ask Dion, Josh and Toby.

Looking at it objectively, if I was a player entering the twilight of my career, Richmond would not be high on my list right now.

So you’re say the AFL is planting Mitchell as the mole into a club to bring it down from the inside?

Afl! What a pack of bastages!

How dare they!

We could be sitting on a s Sydney Dynasty of 10 in a row!!!!

Richmond are not that stupid.

Overated to say the least.

 

[zippadeee]

Played a Richmond game tonight 7 tackles

 

[jb03]

Simply cannot kick on his right foot. Goes back into trouble and slams it on the left.

 

[TheCan]

No thanks.

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

Can't imagine there would be any interest in Mitchell from RFC.
He's not the sort of player the Tigers require.
Pretty one-dimensional from what I have observed.

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

He's almost old enough for Geelong. Our list refresh needs to go much younger and more dynamic.

In the paper today Mitchell says hes staying at Hawthorn, loves it there, doesn’t know where the talk of him leaving came from. Good.

That's good we can now concentrate on Green or Tarranto

I know where it came from. A hat, a lot of names written on pieces of paper, clubs written on another and someone in the medias hand.

Mitchell towing the party line IMO.

Hawks will look to offload him and I'm sure he won't say no to a team in the premiership window.

Playing hardball, hey?
5 year deal for 5 million!
Let see if he’ll stay now.

I recon that hawthorn was testing the market to see if they could scam a club in the premiership window to give up a quality draft pick.

Probably shocked to find that no club was stupid or desperate enough.

C'mon Norf! You know you want to!!!!!

aka His manager asked around but no club seemed keen for Mitchell at his asking price.

 

[MackTiger]

I said no way when the rumour came out, but after tonight, we may need someone to actually get the ball.

 

[Jason King]

No *smile* thanks. We don't want to follow Hawks post their dynasty thanks very much.
