Hawks getting all of O'Meara,Mitchell,Vickery smells of Geelong when they got Danger,Smith,HendersonWe saw what happened to Geelong when you trade away your future tonight.
Make a prelim and finish in the top 4?
If they win the flag, why would he leave?
$$$
Will be a quality pick up for the Hawks if they land him. With his time and poise in traffic he reminds me a lot of Joe Misiti. He also has underrated foot skills when he chooses to use them. Would love this young bloke at the Dons.
Want. But No chance.Clarkson at the MCG just to watch him. And he didnāt disappoint.
And look the reality is we have been such an unknown quantity until well, right now.
It might be that out 2017 season is the one that attracts Players to our club.
Iām sure thereās a distant respect for how we have handled the last few years, but our performance next year-IF we reach finals, will bring players to us. I really believe there must surely be some kind of admiration amongst many afl players how our club has navigated the storm.
Xavier Campbell is an amazing guy it seems.

Lol a week ago you didnāt want him (page 1) which I found surprising as he is a very good mid. Can be defensively minded or free-wheel. Very good at stoppages and decent enough outside too.
I didnāt say I didnāt want him. I quoted rebootās ānopeā as in we (EFC) were no chance or not interested.
We are fools if not interested in him. Pure creative footballer

There is a big difference between not interested and no chance. If he had shown any inkling of considering us we would be all over it. No point chasing somebody who doesnāt want you at all.
Money is obviously a big motivator for him
We have money
Money, an easier move (Wouldnāt be held up by other trades etc). We have the picks and the cash. We are not Hawthorn, so not seen as a bigger threat to Sydney.
If you wanted the move to Melbourne and the cash, you wouldnāt want to slink back to Sydney on 380k because the trade could not be done.
At the very worst, he is pushing his trade value up to make the equation that bit harder for Hawthorn to get he and OāMeara. I hope he plays another blinder in the GF.

I still donāt see how they will be able to get all three, somebody is going to get screwed by Hawks this trade period.
17 teams Iād say.

to be fair I know you didnāt mean anything negative by this.
Money is always a motivator. Always. That why they have player mgrs.
But itās not always the main motivator (often itās not). In this case Tom Mitchell has every right to feel a little miffed if they have salary cap pressures and can only offer him 380k because they place less value on keeping him than Franklin, Heeney, Tippett, Parker etc etc.
He would be saying, man I have done all the hard yards and your going to offer more money to Heeny who is just a young punk (incredible talent) and based on potential not his actual football output for the club (note* great last 2 weeks).
So itās not just money itās respect. Would Mitchell feel appropriately respected if he was one 380k while Tippett was on 1M and Heeney 500-600k?
Sydney are happy to sacrifice him and that would p$ss me off because he probably loves his teammates and club.
So yes money but letās not make out like it all about money (note OP didnāt)
It wasnāt meant to be negative at all
He rightly wants to be rewarded for his good performance and, I think we should make an offer that recognises that good performance, because we have the ability to do so. Swans donāt
I reckon we are zero chanceā¦ but drool worthy. This was the same kid that couldnāt get a game in the seniors until he was posting 40+ touches in the reserves.
Has always been overlooked a little because of the glut of quality Sydney has through the middle. Finally the reduction in COLA seems to be hitting home for this mob and it looks like they may lose a player or two.
Still not seeing how Hawks can land two genuine ātop 10 pick worthyā players and Vickery in the one draft. Brad Hill being involved in any trade for Pick 3 is laughableā¦ no way is lyons giving up a gem for an outside running flash player.
Heās too good to get to Hawthorn.

Definitely not after the Lovett fiasco.
Iād rather Tom Mitchell than Dustin Martin. May not get both but donāt want Dusty anywhere near our club.
At the very worst, he is pushing his trade value up to make the equation that bit harder for Hawthorn to get he and O'Meara. I hope he plays another blinder in the GF.
Hereās to Mitchell winning the Norm Smith.
Whats the bet that Sydney does a Hawthorn and renegotates the contracts of some of their top paid players to ākeep the team togetherā 380k to 550k isnāt that much a 30k per player amongst 6 players. Throw in tax in the top bracket and there giving up around 16k eachā¦
McVeigh & McGlynn to retireā¦
McVeigh & McGlynn to retire...
Agree. Should free up enough space for him.
