Will Mitch Hahn get another season?

[GVGjr]

Thought I would start a poll to see if people believe Mitch will get another season or not?

If you think he will get the extra season what do you think the reasoning behind it will be?

No.

Time to develop & give game time to our young forwards.

The game has changed and Mitch's lack of mobility has hurt him.

But that didn't keep him from playing all this year.

If we had a slightly different list (younger) there might be a case to maintain Mitch but the reality is that he could only get a few token games as the club looks to further develop Jones and Grant.

In some ways having Hall in the forward line means that there is no spot of Mitch.

He played pretty much when Jones didn't. With another pre-season under his belt Jones must play every week which means there is no spot for him in our forward-line.

No for me, the game has moved faster & it makes Mitch look terribly slow. With the benefit of hindsight Aker & Eagle went on a year too long so time to take heed.

I don't think Mitch SHOULD get another year - I think his good footy is well behind him.
But I suspect Mitch WILL get a one year deal.

Re: Will Mitch Hahn get another season?

If he is kept it is seemingly only as a backup for Hall - not that they play the role in a similar manner

Our inactivity in turning over the list during the past two years hurts Mitch

Also our ridiculous contracting of Markovic and Tiller does not help

I think its time to retire graciously albeit a bit disappointed - those are the lessons of life Mitch, no point bearing a grudge, you'll always be remembered as a dog if you leave with your head held high and your tail waggling

Yeah I pretty much agree with you, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him play next year. Disappointed, but not surprised.

Not potting Mitch. He's been great. But he's cooked.

Tend to agree. I have the feeling if he wasn't going on we would've said so by now.

If we kept Mitch Hahn, i'm sure Eade would be compelled to pick him, and that is not in our best interests.

You can't have senior players running around in the VFL all year, it's not good for the team.

Yep, just look at Collingwood

Re: Will Mitch Hahn get another season?

To be totally honest - I've never quite been sold on Hahn as a footballer - but I could understand his value for years of us being undersized up forward.
He has done tremendously well to play 180+ games of AFL footy - without being the most gifted bloke out there - and has played the odd huge game for us. From all reports - as a leader and club man - he has given us a great deal - but as Bulldog revolution said earlier - its time to retire graciously and be remembered as a very good servant of the club.

Do you think so?
