They thanked and farewell him on their banner3rd rounder for ANB surely.
Andy Collins as Mitchell's Lieutenant in the background has a lot to do with the Hawks success, seems to be overlooked a lot in all this Hawks talk. A proven coach on many levels.. Smart by Mitchell to get him in when he was appointed.*they got better than us because they have drafted more quality young talent and have traded in smartly re listed afl players , they also played them and have a genius coach . They’re also not afraid to play the experienced players in peripheral roles eg sub and flank
Whilst it would be best for the club for him to move on, it's unlikely for several reasons:I’d be encouraging him to see if he can find a suitor , that’s what the successful clubs do . Talk to managers , tell them he’s not in best 22 plans and see if he can find a suitor
It’s actually fairer to Laird to do it that way too
We should get a softer draw, and we should continue to see organic growth from our younger players. However, we will continue to have a low ceiling until our midfield problems are properly addressed.Pragmatically, I think 2025 will be almost as bad as 2024 except a softer draw may inflate results. Hopefully Nicks sacked as soon as possible.
Whilst it would be best for the club for him to move on, it's unlikely for several reasons:
Even if he was amenable to moving (which he almost certainly isn't), it's highly unlikely his manager would be able to find a suitor willing to take him.
- He's cooked, and everyone can see it.
- He's got a 2-year contract.
- He's on a sizeable contract.
- He's settled in Adelaide, has no desire to move interstate, and no interest in playing for Port (who don't want him anyway).
- He's not a FA, so they would need to trade for him (though Adelaide would probably accept a token pick which they wouldn't use in the draft).
This makes me think that he’s agreed a deal with us or port and that club has probably already agreed a trade in principle with Melbourne.They thanked and farewell him on their banner
They shown he’s going with their blessing and they’re not holding him to his contract. They will get what they’re offered
The only measure is are both clubs interested in him and paying his current salary or not. If yes we set the price against eachother, if not then it’s almost a giveaway
I think it's us.This makes me think that he’s agreed a deal with us or port and that club has probably already agreed a trade in principle with Melbourne.
It's ludicrous to have Laird doing any kickouts. Does anyone instruct this, or is it random on ground?That 50m last night was really poor. Some of the stuff from Laird, Murphy, Tex and Dawson last night - decisions and errors - looked particularly bad in light of the week we have had
That smother on Laird - you could see that happening a few steps before it did (and I reckon he got smothered/ deflects on another kick out as well

Thought it was bizarre when I saw him pick up the ball and thought straight away NOIt's ludicrous to have Laird doing any kickouts. Does anyone instruct this, or is it random on ground?
He clearly looks like he’s lost passion for the game and he’s adding nothing in leadership for our young guysHis contract should have been frontloaded given our list the last few years. And we should be paying it to he5 him out of the club. He'd be ok depth for a contending side and might be better having had a rocket fired up his rear.
I'd still keep Tex on minimum wage, and he can mentor/coach/inspire. Break glass emergency if we cop injuries. Give him a farewell game end of 2025 if we can.It would be an absolute travesty if we land Luko and they force Walker out without him having been given an opportunity to farewell the supporters.
I argued before that there isn't room for both Tex and Luko in the same team, so I understand where they are coming from, from a logical perspective. However, treating a club Legend like this is completely unacceptable.
Still waiting to say goodbye to Eddie.Wouldn’t be the first time unfortunately.
Or it’s a measure of how legitimate the reasons areThis makes me think that he’s agreed a deal with us or port and that club has probably already agreed a trade in principle with Melbourne.
Coll’s 2nd, attached to HawthornGuessing this has already been reported, Melbourne are expecting a 2nd rounder for ANB.
Better not be giving back their 2nd.

Yes we might need to blow up the soft cap , no point having money and a shite football programAndy Collins as Mitchell's Lieutenant in the background has a lot to do with the Hawks success, seems to be overlooked a lot in all this Hawks talk. A proven coach on many levels.. Smart by Mitchell to get him in when he was appointed.
Premierships at the Hawks (AFL) and Sandringham (VFL) as a player. Hawks B & F, Premiership as a Coach (Sandringham (VFL), SANFL Grand Final (West Adelaide), VFL Grand Final (Coburg).
I would move mountains to get him in at the Crows.

can't trade both the F1 & F2 unless we get one back. If they are thinking our F1 is involved with Luko in some form, how do we trade our F2 as well?Future 2nd at most
We can’t afford to give away pick 26 or wherever it sits in this draft

Tex is already on minimum. Will be an awesome mentor to Welsh and FOG.I'd still keep Tex on minimum wage, and he can mentor/coach/inspire. Break glass emergency if we cop injuries. Give him a farewell game end of 2025 if we can.
In his first couple of years, it took nearly all of 2022 to play him. Amusing how clappers have used his comments and twisted it to justify the club playing an injured Doedee over him.This is the myth, but it's not true as far as Worrell is concerned. He's said himself that he wasn't ready.
