I actually was kind of relieved when Tom made the move to the Pies.

Because the hate he was getting from some sections of this forum was bordering on the fanatical.

I don’t think Tom is (or even was) remotely concerned about the views of anyone who posts on this board - do you?

He will be okay….

Nice goal JOM!

Still sad he couldn't hit the 100 games with us

 

[Off The Couch]

Are North better than us now? Is this real life?

Why are you surprised
Had a bit of a head start and quite a few early picks

 

[Kuuz]

JOM pulling the Dockers right back into this with 2 goals back-to-back

 

[Off The Couch]

Oh dear Daniel
2 goals in clutch time

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Norf

 

[Max Powers]

Howe is still a mungbean I see...

 

[Kuuz]

Gotta say, Norf throwing this hard, but Freo have been helped a LOT by the umps.

 

[H00t]

Norf could very well Norf this.

Darcy running down LDU

Where did I say he shouldn't get a game? Dont make s**t up.

I said Mitchell isn't in Collingwood top handful of mids which helps cover for his in ability to kick which wasn't the case at hawthorn. He's a limited footballer that got exposed being the main outlet through the midfield but sure act likes he's a super star.

Oh yeh old "Hollywood Tom Mitchell" is infamous for being an out of control egomaniac.

Seriously are you for real?

He is in fact the complete opposite, a super star is who is in fact a quiet, reserved, hardworking professional.

And limited?

Lets just look at this "limited" player's CV

• Brownlow Medal: 2018
• Leigh Matthews Trophy: 2018
• 2× All-Australian team: 2017, 2018
• 3× Peter Crimmins Medal: 2017, 2018, 2021
• Lou Richards Medal: 2018

That is some resume for a "limited" player.

What was Michael Jordan by your definition? Just a B grade hack of a baller?

I mean really

How clever was that of Sheezel

That's a free, the kick was before the siren

I actually was kind of relieved when Tom made the move to the Pies.

Because the hate he was getting from some sections of this forum was bordering on the fanatical.

And I thought to myself "mmm, Tom is going to go to the Pies and if I know the kind of ultra professional athlete he is I reckon he is going to absolutely slay it for the Pies".

And then I thought to myself "and then I can post a few subtle reminders of how good he is going at the Pies and watch all of the Mitchell haters try and justify their bizarre hatred in the face of cold, hard data"

Wont that be fun I thought. And yes, yes it has been!

I think you've put a lot of mayo on the 'hate' directed at him tbh

There was plenty of frustration with his playing style and it was justified given where we as a team are.

All I have seen is people genuinely happy he is playing well at his new good .
Good result for both.

 

[Off The Couch]

Can we move along from Tom Mitchell?
Good or bad move, he has gone, so what ifs are useless

Doesn't matter. You can't call it before it goes out. Ball kicked - siren goes - ball goes out.
Too bad so sad

 

[Hawkas1988]

Wow what an ending.

Howe is copping an absolute barrage in the north forum.

Should have been a second deliberate there a Freo shot after the siren.

 

[daniel23]

Sheezel is a freak

 

[Kuuz]

So well done to save the point - composure beyond his years

 

[H00t]

The siren saving Norf then. Half a second more and it’s deliberate.

 

[The hands of stone]

Sheez has to be a runaway leader in the rising star

 

[Baz_hawk]

Howe had a shocker for Norf. Right call at the end, siren went before the ball was over the line so can't pay it I wouldn't have thought.

Siren went after the ball was out of bounds

It wasn't.


That was a horrendous decision
