Actually Tom Mitchell has played finals with the Hawks, he just hasn't won one.

Why the antipathy for Mitchell. He left basically because he wasn’t getting time as a mid.
Let’s be clear. Mitchell left because he was lowballed because we prioritised Heeney and Mills, particularly after North threw $1m a year at Heeney. My understanding Mitchell was offered $350-400,000, while Heeney got an average of around $750K and Mills around $600K. We prioritised the local kids. I don’t blame him, but right now, it looks like the right decision by us.
'Delicious' is a fun word to say
When we first signed Mitchell as a F/S didn’t we pay above the standard contract to ensure that we secured him?

a) I’m not sure what he was supposed to say “no I want out”
b) he was behind a bunch of other mids. Even when he was racking up big NEAFL numbers he struggled to get a game at times
c) that past champion jumped ship to Collingwood when we needed him
Jordan Dawson is in the second week of his holiday.
