Mitchell watch

[Cressakel2]

I don't believe some of the comments here.

Mitchell is 22? the very best years are ahead, and we need to get to them.

There are few more talent players in our side, and he so much he can improve.

Lets talk about getting rid of players to make room for talent like we did with Buddy.

For one, if we are getting in any defenders, Smith need to go; has really lost two yards of pace this year.

And there is a whole heap of players in the seconds going nowhere, Brandon, XX, etc, who must be on more than a rookie wage.

Do a cull but always keep top talent at out club like Mitchell!!

X seems to be doing all right now??? Smith is still a gun, worst comment ever

I like Mitchell. I think the Swans have put a lot in to him, and made him what he is. To a degree I see him as the Bjorn Borg (had the skills trained into him) type rather than the McEnroe type (full of natural talent)
But if we had to lose one of him, Parker, Kennedy or Hannebery, it would be Mitchell - particularly if we can bring someone in who adds something different to the team.

I'd suggest that Richards and McVeigh retire
Derickx delisted
Other trade bait MAY be Reid, McGlynn and a couple of reserves players who haven't broken in to the side and might ask to leave to get a gig.

Could be an interesting end of year...

McVeigh won't retire. Still 31, playing good footy and in a premiership window the next 3-4 years. Preposterous comment

You quoted me from 1 /12 months ago as if I said it today?
What? were you scrolling back 16 pages in this thread to look for a comment that you could make use of?

Back then McVeigh was not playing great football.
He's come good for now. Maybe he takes a while to work his way back into form, maybe he has patches.
Look at Teddy. Very easy to find yourself without a place in the team because somebody better is keeping you out.
For now McVeigh keeps his spot, but I'd say he'll pass the captaincy on next year.

Please dont feed the trolls, it only fuels them on

lol, I have no idea who the trolls are here.
Only one who sticks out is unmentionable, who isn't here.
Aside from that every now and then I have disagreements with some RWOers, who are probably pretty surprised that I act as if nothing happened a few days later.
That's because I don't really think about who said what and keep records...

Correct. Haven't been on here for a while and was scrolling through this thread from the START! Just keeping you honest....

McVeigh is all class and will retire on his terms. He's no Dean @@@@en Towers that's for sure!

Hopefully there's a time in the next 5 or 6 weeks where I am quoting that comment when Deano kicks a winning goal

Just watched this. Mitchell snr makes it sound like it's just a money thing between Tom and the club.

Feels like he wants to stay but $$ aren't there. Swans will stand their ground given the financial commitments to Buddy, Parker and Hanners and are likely to have with Kennedy, Mills and Heeney over the next few years. List Management is a tough job and sometimes you have to stick to your guns. If Mitchell stays, great; if not, we have Mills, Heeney and Hewett ready to join the midfield as a tough inside ball winning magnet which will free up spots around the ground for the next lot of youngsters. It's why the Swans have been able to stay at or near the top without significant drop off. Make the tough calls and don't let sentiment stand in the way. We saw it with O'Keefe and to a certain extend early on in Goodes' final year. We're also seeing it with Teddy this year.

Yeah... but when Towers AND McFantastic are firing, we kick 20 goals.

Towers, I think, has found his feet. He doesn't look like a kangaroo stuck in your headlights any more.
McFantastic can play another two years if he wants. Bottom line - he's a friggen trooper. I'm probably the most critical here... he always contributes, even when he's having a bad game, he still contributes.

Yeah, I thought I'd laid it on with the proverbial trowel. But anyway, no matter. Dean's twelve games this year have been pretty serviceable, averaging 19 touches a game and chiming in with almost a goal a game. My only issue with him is I keep getting him mixed up with X. Do these blokes look the same, or do I need to go to the eye shop. Either way it'd be great if we can turn one or both of them into Jack Gunston. That'd be very handy down forward.

KT was hardly trolling. His tongue was so firmly planted in his cheek that I'm surprised you couldn't see it poking out

Time for Specsavers KT! Do you have a gardener? Better watch out for Derek.

I haven't checked the figures, but my impression is that Xav is currently a more reliable kick than Gunston, as well as being bigger and as fast if not faster. Changing ends means he has quickly become a very valuable asset.

Dean is going well; the one thing I'd like to see him do more often is use his pace to tackle the ball carrier.

Partly Agree- Dean is playing serviceable but his tackling is his weak point. I often see his tackles get broken. Xav has a beautiful kicking action and a good pair of hands. However his tank is a problem and he struggles to see out a full game. Maybe its something they can work on!!
