That's something that always makes me laugh. When a player doesn't get drafted in the National draft and that is used to say they don't have talent. "Well, if all the clubs recruiting staff passed over him, be obviously isn't that good".

Pretty sure like Keays it was the queue. They rated Mitch significantly higher than Keays and at least publicly didn't want him to go, but he essentially declined a new contract and asked to be delisted. He was fringe enough that he likely wouldn't play much over the following couple of years at least so they didn't make too much of a deal of it.

Has looked a 200 game plater from day one. Amazed Brisbane gave him the flick.

Further to what I posted last night, was he our last re-signing last year? If not would have gone very close to it
yep, pretty accurate summary of his skillset

They didn't... wanted to keep him, but Hinge was keen to come home.

Didn't they only offer him a 1 year contract?
Yes. They wanted him but not all that much. Enough to offer an extra year but that was all. Ie happy to keep him but also not too concerned about losing him either.

Although it's probably been asked many times already, I'm going to ask it seriously again.
What is stopping Mitch Hinge becoming the big bodied, bullocking midfielder we're all asking for? He's hard at the ball, tackles tough, has immense burst power and speed. AND... a beautifully penetrating foot.
To my eye, he's got Jordan Degoey similarities.
Thoughts???

Apparently the second best intercept possession player behind Sam Taylor in the last six weeks, just ahead of Darcy Moore
Pretty good for a DFA

nothing wrong with this at all!
AA this year? Has tracked exceptionally well since arriving and is in our top group of players imo.
Another good signing. You could say that Hinge will be 'pivotal' to our side for the next few years.
