My opinion is objective truth in its purest form -
Met with Hawks, not good because given where they will finish I don't know how we get a good trade done, doubt we'd settle for what is looking like pick 17/18. Much prefer he goes to Carlton who have a pick worth getting.
I'm smelling a bit of Mumford here, we couldn't understand why Swans didn't give Mummy a new contract then it became clear when Buddy is announced. Maybe we are into one of the high profile club jumpers like Prestia, O'Meara, Hurley, Wood etcComment

Maybe he should give ROK a call to see what it's like when Hawthorn say they want you but refuse to actually offer anything decent in a trade.
It doesn't sound like we pulled or lowered our offer to Mitchell - so even if there are other targets, we felt we could re-sign him and still get them.
Which is unlike the Mumford situation where we refused to offer a contract all along - knowing we couldn't afford him.Comment

With Brad Hill heading back to Freo. The Hawks may end up with an extra decent early pick to trade with....
There is also the ability to trade next years picks as well...So O'Meara may be gettable.
O'Meara in, Mitchell out....I'd take that anyday.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

He's certainly a tough kid to get a read on - some of his earlier games this season were outstanding. Then he turns in a game like yesterday, where almost every possession was a waste of energy. Needs to become more consistent, otherwise I'd be more than happy at the club looking at what they might get for him. I suspect that, notwithstanding the CBA furphy, he's pretty much already made up his mind.Comment

There's plenty of direct quotes from the time saying otherwise, so not sure how good his memory is, which is strange.
Eg.
Hawks close in on O?Keefe | The Roar
Nocookies | The AustralianComment

Nearly all here have a greater knowledge of Mitchell and AFL then I do but I have a funny feeling that he does not sit well in the team. His original contract was way beyond what would be expected. This appeared to be inflated to match GWS and their big bucket. This was some $450,000 a year to play in NEAFL. He then did wonderful things on the field but Longmire resisted in promoting him. It appeared Tom was not able to do all the things asked of him.
If he goes to another Club he will have days where he has great games and there will be a chorus "we should have found a way to keep him". I think on balance and for the team he should not be a top priority.Comment

He was pretty emphatic about the Carlton deal. Plus news reports are often just what the reporter wants to write to grab a headline. News reports about buddy had him going to GWS & Tippo going to Queensland at the time. I'd say RO'K would know about his dealings better than the media would have.
I'd love to read a book about all the not publicised deals the either fell through or never eventuated.Comment

I hope Mitchell stays, but if he doesn't it won't be the end of the world. It's not like we are short of midfielders, and have a number
of others (Mills, Heeney, even Hewitt) who can step in when the time comes. I think we're short on running defenders/wingman.
In an ideal world we'd have a Nathan Wilson (GWS) style player with a 60M boot on him coming thru about now. Come to think of it,
we did have a similar player, until we traded him for Callum Sinclair. And then there was that other guy, the bloke who kicked the winning
goal in the 2012 GF. Mal something or another.Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted.
