As soon as it became clear GWS were switched on, they were always going to get smashed.

Last kick was a goal though.Well that was an anti-climatic farewell for a legend of the game.
Retiring away at Spotless getting thumped with a bunch of lazy spuds, man Mitchell deserved a better retirement than that, at least he ended it playing like he always did, kickin' them goals.
Get it. Coz he didn't kick goals. Eh.

Lets be honest, he retired at the end of 2016. This season at West Coast was just a bad dream.
It was important west coast didn't win the flag this year. Would have been hard to take.
What a career! Racking up efficient disposals to the end.
This spud wasn't supposed to make it. Four flags, five b and fs and a brownlow later.
A legend of our great club.

I'm so glad he doesn't play for West Coast anymore. Coaching them I can handle. It it was excruciating at times this year! Always a Hawks man

Really? I would have been happy for him to be in rare air as a 5 time premiership player.

Thanks for the memories Sam Mitchell, great career. Written off from the start as wasn't supposed to make it. Achieved more than majority of footballers dream of.
You will always be a hawk no matter how many games you played for wet toast.
Enjoy learning the craft of coaching, hope to see you back coaching the Hawks one day.

Really a bit of a sad way for his playing career to finish up... In a team that isn't Hawthorn, on the receiving end of a huge belting. In front of an abysmally small and footy-ignorant crowd. Missing out on the deafening cheers and proud tears of a 40,000+ strong Hawthorn crowd as he's chaired off next to Luke Hodge in front of his 1, 2, 3 and 4 time premiership teammates. Followed by the embrace of the one man who could be said to match his footballing-IQ in Alastair Clarkson.
28 disposals and 2 goals in a game where his side was on the end of a belting, putting him among the best on ground in his final game just goes to show just how good he is, and how good he could continue to be. It would be great if he was still at Hawthorn today and going into next season.
But all good things must come to an end... or at least until he's finished his coaching apprenticeship at West Coast before (hopefully) returning to the nest.
