Hypothetically, could we go at Jaeger? His cover story about nominating Hawthorn was trust in their medico's. The recent news articles show our medico's, surgeons and sports science relationship with VU as industry best. So if that's a key factor, we tick that box. Hawthorn are prioritising other trades seemingly. We are now the premiers, which we weren't when he called it. We have the cash and salary cap to cover his wage. We have a first rounder for them to on trade for a good ready made, a second rounder in 2017 and we can offer GCS Stevens, Hrovat & Honeychurch who are looking for opportunities. Do we bother even thinking about it as a club?

I've been having this exact thought. Why not us?.........

This whole nonsense pedalled on Mitchell is nauseating .
Once again this hawthorn ahead of the game is being thrown around, yet they're unloading 600,000 out of their cap .

They've brought in Vickery on half a mill, have been caught short in the cap and are now offloading on all time champ.

If any other club brought in Vickery and offloaded Mitchell in the same trade period, they would be the laughing stock of the AFL. Yet Hawthorn are 'professional, progressive' etc.

From the Herald Sun:

The Tigers and the Western Bulldogs are in the hunt for Sydney ruckman Toby Nankervis.

The Swans have declared Nankervis and first-round pick Dean Towers required players, but both are out of contract.

Mitchell wants to coach, he's mates with Simpson and will take on an assistants role with the Eagles after next year. He realizes next year is his last and is shoring up the next phase. Mitchell and Clarko spoke about it at the start of the year, he's not being pushed out.

Now there's a Jordan Lewis cluster*!*!*!*!. Hawthorn are having an interesting time of trade weeks.

Jono Marsh requesting a trade to a WA club, only Freo would need him. Could be better for them to go after Marsh, it would certainly cost them a lot less.

Interesting the whole Lewis scenario now. Mitchell would get a gig upon retirement regardless of what club he played for.

You couldn't come to that conclusion now though. They've wanted to push either of them out to free up space .
Why wouldn't Mitchell became an assistant at Hawthorn? It's 600 large out of the cap, and as usual the silly media eat it up.
Next the narrative will be that Hawthorn are the masters of damage control

It's what Mitchell told SEN anyway. He wants to coach with Simpson and his wife is apparently keen on Perth. Of course he's helping them alleviate cap space. It's a bit wrong but that's the modern game. Doug played at Fitzroy 20 years ago. Mitchell clearly loves the club and seems to be going willingly and I can see him gaining some experience external to the Hawks prior to being their next coach.

Collingwood are craaaazy. Daniel Wells and Chris Mayne are not going to make the Pies a top 4 team.
