    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
    Are veterans still counted as half pay for salary cap purposes?

      Hawthorn have given Mitchell away for practically nothing.
      More of an In Bruges guy?

        No club has ever given away a reigning b&f for anywhere near as little, let alone a premiership captain. Bizarre times.

            Would we have any interest in Goldstein?
            Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

              There is no doubt he is a terrific ruckman but he is a 85% game time ruckman so how do we manage or what do we do with Roughead and Campbell? I'd rather find them some support not push them back down the order.

                I hope we don't. A ruckman shouldn't be a priority.

                  Think we should stick with our funky hybrid ruck set up, unless Bevo decides to change the game again.
                  Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                    Maybe. I think it suits both parties though. Mitchell is happy to go to Perth for a year then coach and it allows cap space to pay O'Meara. So they get O'Meara for 10 years and lose Mitchell for one. Smart move.
                    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                      How do you read the Lewis cluster?

                        Sam Fisher when fit still goes OK and would fit the Bevo mould. Injury prone though that is the big worry.

                          To much time off the park for me.

                            I believe we will be looking for a ruckman .. We have lost Minson and Goetz. Goetz was obviously recruited to come in in a couple of years . So we need to replace that position

                              You're right, but hawthorn just made up nonsens about it having nothing to do with the salary cap , and we're doing it for Sam.
                              It was just such PR nonsense on their behalf

                                He's past it in a big way and can't cope with the way the game is played. He's not big enough to play on anyone over 192 cm either.

                                Maybe there is a surprise coming out of North?

                                Sorry RM misunderstood. Yeah it's definitely cap related.
