There's only one thing wrong with that article: "Out-of-favour Swan". He has been unfortunate, but we will see next season that he is very much in favour. Go Tom!
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
When Mitchell is an emergency for the big dance, what do you reckon he's gonna say "oh I'll look at my situation after the GF and make a decision on staying or going"?
Of course he's gonna say I to be 100% want to be at the Swans in 2015. BUT, whilst he'd be a little frustrated, I don't think he wants out to anywhere else, particularly headed for the bottom Carlton!
Tom will be a fixture next year I'm sure if he has an injury free run. Just needs to tidy up disposal by foot over the summer to go with the Diesel like hands.
Tom is good enough to be a regular, and probably star, in any team when he gets his body right. So why should he be looking to move? The only problem with the Swans is that you have to be in peak form to crack into the midfield, and it won't get any easier.
Not a lot is going right for the once-mighty Hawks, so it would be just their luck if ex-Sydney Swan Tom Mitchell was forced to miss time. Mitchell, one of the men brought in to reinvent a midfield sans Jordan Lewis and Sam Mitchell, has easily been Hawthorn's best player through the first three rounds, averaging 34 disposals and more than six tackles per game. That impressive output has not saved the Hawks from an 0-3 start, but imagine how dire the situation would be if he wasn't there to carry such a heavy on-ball load. - Marc McGowan
We could certainly use him this week but I stand by our decision to let him go. As we all know "we can't have everybody" and we want to evolve our game to become more dangerous with Heeney, Mills and Jones in the midfield.
All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)

Yes, I saw this. Thought it was very interesting article. Surprised Mitchell was Hawks most crucial.
I would have thought our most crucial was Buddy.
He's getting lots of it but wonder if Hawthorn are used to the quality of his disposals. Quality is there way nit quantity. They also have historically preferred to spread the load so maybe they aren't quite getting what they bargained for.
He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.
