I'll go out on a limb and say the statistical indicators we look to will remain the same, and the 'contested footy' stat that we don't give a toss about, we will continue not giving a toss about.Wonder how quickly Clarko and the Hawks fans will change their tune on contested footy if this comes off.

Because we have a Mitchell midfielder about to retire and are replacing him with a Mitchell midfielder?
Turns out our need to address the Mitchell deficit was even more urgent. Lucky we got this deal done, it has proven difficult for a side to make the grand final without a Mitchell in it. Hasn't been done since 2011. WC and Hawks set up for a 2015 rematch in 2017

David King will probably tip against us, again, because we lose the contested ball stats.
David King will probably tip Sydney, again, because you guys are the contested ball kings.
The Hawks dont have mercenaries chasing money just mercenaries chasing success.You will need to allow for the break down in your culture.
Some of your p'ship heroes will not be too happy having to play next to a couple of mercenaries chasing money that have forced your best player & reigning B & F winner out of the club. You need to apply the same blow torch your supporters applied to us when we brought in Buddy & lost Mummy etc & were persistently preached to about it.
For your just desserts, it's not over yet because if you are to land JOM, another player or two are going to have to be coughed up or NO DEAL!

You forgot to put the little wink at the end of the sentence....that was sarcasm, right?The Hawks dont have mercenaries chasing money just mercenaries chasing success.
That is the major cultural difference between the Swans and the Hawks.
They came in for market value.You forgot to put the little wink at the end of the sentence....that was sarcasm, right?
You just picked up two players who came to you for a bigger offer. They didn't take a pay cut to come to the Hawks. What a ridiculous post.
We offered Mitchell market value but he decided to chase better coin. No hard feelings. Good luck to him and the Hawks but don't rabbit on about "cultural differences". It's disingenuous.They came in for market value.
Something the Swans didnt used to be constrained by so its not part of their culture but unfortunately is now.
You cant afford market value for Mitchell, because you pay Buddy and Tippett over market value and Heeney and Mills and the plumber and Alir Alir will be needing to be paid market value next year.We offered Mitchell market value but he decided to chase better coin. No hard feelings. Good luck to him and the Hawks but don't rabbit on about "cultural differences". It's disingenuous.
If he went elsewhere (in the market) to be paid more (by the market) then you did offer market value.We offered Mitchell market value but he decided to chase better coin. No hard feelings. Good luck to him and the Hawks but don't rabbit on about "cultural differences". It's disingenuous.
This statement is fundamentally wrong.If he went elsewhere (in the market) to be paid more (by the market) then you did offer market value.
I think that's exactly why we're trading for picks and not players. I agree. We're at our cap and we're looking to develop players rather than trading in. We're not Robinson Crusoe though. You just sounded ridiculous rolling out "cultural differences" like everyone wants to play for unders for the honour of pulling on a Hawthorn guernsey.You cant afford market value for Mitchell, because you pay Buddy and Tippett over market value and Heeney and Mills and the plumber and Alir Alir will be needing to be paid market value next year.
Why do you think you traded for picks and not players ?
hint.....picks cost base pay, players cost market value

Is this a comment on how the Swans coped with Kennedy and Buddy?
Dont they play in the same position ?Ha ha ha ha!
Your team just gave up the it's best player who won your best & fairest. The barometer of your team.
Tom Mitchell would have benefited from having him there.

So you've been sitting on this for over a week! Erm, ouch, the blowtorch is hot. It burns my skin.
For our just desserts, everything we go for turns to gold. We even use a trade with you blokes to give shit to GCS and their idiotic posturing chairman.
Now watch us land O'Meara, Zumbo.
lol, Sydney are paying Franklin for another six years...we will be rebuilding from this rebuild by then.I gaze into my crystal ball...

Are you Graham Wright?There will be more!
This statement is fundamentally wrong.
Market value is what the market is prepared to pay regardless of whether that player moves.
In addition, T. Mitchell's market value may be higher then what the Hawks paid, because he may have been offered more coin by GC for example.
