Unless West Coast find him a āMelbourne roleā and hold him to his contract.
If Mitchell goes back to Hawthorne, will the AFL investigate the percieved salary cap manipulation. Traded to West Coast to clear cap for Jaeger OāMeara, Tom Mitchell and Ty Vickery (Had to mention him). Two years later he walks out on the contract. If he lands back at the Hawks, some might rightly speculate that it was the plan from the start.
AND itāll be a jerk move to move on Ratten just to give jobs for the boys, but because itās Hawthorn and not Essendon itāll actually work in their favour not rout the club for another decade.
I donāt know if he has signed anything, he was about to go in and have surgery. And; sadly I deleted the email.
The email said Smack had been offered a two year deal - injury or not. He was definitely was chuffed about it. I just assumed it was happening automatically. Other wise why send out the email??? I havenāt heard anything from the club since of seen anything either.
