I think Mitchell gets done after Grundy and Henry depending on the draft picks you get back

Hopefully. I’d like him at the Pies.

Or you guys take a third and steak knives, like Poulter.
I don’t mind that trade to be honest. The other alternative is we bundle up some more of our picks and try and get your pick in the teenw

What incentive would we have to trade down the order for multiple later picks? We don’t need points this year and we have limited list spots available for the draft as it is. If anything we’ll be trying to package up some of our later picks to trade to Brisbane or Essendon.
He's going to make Collingwood a much better side (especially with Taylor Adams having that long term groin injury).
I don't think we'll get what we actually want for him in terms of draft picks - so hopefully there's some creative dealing with salaries, late picks or steak knives that makes it work for us

We have not committed to retain leverage in the Grundy trade.
It's becoming clear that we have enough cap to fit in Hill, Frampton and Mcstay.
But Mitchell / Fiorni are dependent on whether we can clear Grundy's salary.

If you want send that along with him fine, but it probably isn’t needed.

If Collingwood feels like re-gifting them then we begrudgingly accept
Those steak knives turned out ok alright!

The steak knives involved in the Bowes deal is fairly appealing.
I feel that we will miss on those steak knives too

Pick 27 for Mitchell and 4th rounder is about right I reckon. He’s a better player than Adam’s and not injured every 3 weeks, instantly makes the woods a better team.
I think that Adams is more damaging going forward, not as good an extractor though. Tom definitely has a more reliable body/fitness though.
I think Mitchell is one of 2 to 3 possible pick ups that the Pies are looking into this trade period. Mitchell looks like he wants Collingwood but we would also be looking at other possibilities. We have interest in Fiorini. We may also be looking at (Setterfield) delisted types or other (Matt Crouch) out of favour types. We might even trade up to try to get Parish one year before free agency.

A very clever underrated post.
He is attractive to the Pies because he is close to the best inside player in the comp (or at least he was preinjury) durable and we would like that the Hawks could pay a lot of his first year salary.
Down side is that he is a bit old, slow, small, defensively challenged, one positional and lacks kicking skills.
I think the deal will get done for about a second rounder.
It irks me how some Hawthorn supporters treat him like he is some kind of cancer on our club.
He has finished 1st, 1st, 2nd, 1st and 5th in out B&F (and we all know the 5th placing would be 1st again if he was played in his preferred position).
A trade is being considered because we are looking to rebuild our midfield for the future and he may be worth more on the market than he is to our club right now given this direction. But the whole "let's get him out the door for whatever we can get" type of thinking is ridiculous in my view. If we can't get a genuinely beneficial draft hand for him, I would hope we keep him and that he is still around in his twilight when we are contending again to play a helpful role, ala Crawford in '08 (thankfully, it seems McKenzie agrees going by his comments to date).

Pick 27 if it lands from the Grundy deal?

I’d have no complaints with that tbh, effectively swapping out the two players and their salaries from Collingwood’s perspective.
I also wouldn’t be surprised if there’s chump change coming Collingwood’s way with Mitchell though.
