Tom Mitchell

[heavho]

STALLED contract negotiations between the Sydney Swans and star midfielder Tom Mitchell might have come as a shock to the footy world, but coach John Longmire isn’t fazed by the situation.

Freo should throw some $$$$ at him. Would be a great fit into the middle of the ground. I would even throw our first pick to Sydney to keep them happy too

Tom moved to Perth when he was about 14 when his dad got a job with us, Barry moved back to Melbourne for "family reasons" in 2011 after Tom was drafted.

I'm not sure what would draw him west.

Not sure he is a great requirement especially if we get a midfielder with our early pick.

I don't think he is worth anything like our first round pick.

Certainly a very good accumulator of the ball but not quick and perhaps we have this position covered with Fyfe, Neale and Barlow??

 

[mad4freo]

Good player but not really what we need. Plus would take more than just one first round to get him.

He's a polished up version of matt deboer, certainly not a our first round pick.. My swans mate recon Carlton offering the big $$$. Can win a heap of the ball but not always good with disposal.

The money $$$$$ lol

 

[G Mus]

Prolific ball winner, questions over his disposal quality and also a really good tagger

I'd only chase him if we were to lose Barlow somekhow

 

[Allikat]

I'd take him. I wouldn't give up our first pick though. That's gotta go to the draft, or to Hogan.

Have you been drinking?

 

[freo_leo29]

Would possibly take him and Sam reid for our first pick (maybe not though) but we really don't need him at all with Blakely and Neale coming through

 

[beetz]

He'll go to Carlton.

Freo submitted a bid on him in 2011 (we got Tom Sheridan) but Sydney matched with the Father/Son rule.

Eew, no. He is an overrated accumulator and is far from what we need... and certainly not worth a top-10 pick.

 

[Taylor]

He'll go to Carlton.

Freo submitted a bid on him in 2011 (we got Tom Sheridan) but Sydney matched with the Father/Son rule.

And gave him a 4 year $400,000 per year deal to get it over the line.

 

[Clems Knee]

Is he a good candidate for the preseason draft?

 

[Cobbler]

Freo to target Mitchell
It is understood that his dad use to play Under 16s lacrosse with Steve Rosich and that Mitchell wants to bring up his kids in the Perth metro because of this strong link.
Negotiations are obviously ongoing, but Mitchell is said to want a contract of $650k a year and Swans are baulking.
It is expected that Freo will be willing to offer this and that Mitchell will be in purple next year.

Heck of a lot better than our 1st round pick.

More fun this way.

 

[leungtl]

Tom Mitchell could walk into any of the other 17 AFL clubs and be used better than Longmire does. Absolutely hates him, probably got caught red handed with his daughter or ran over his dog...

 

[Pusswah]

650 lmao

 

[Midnite65]

So he would get more than Neale?

 

[freo4evr]

Too small.We need to go after talls with speed

 

[Tundrawolf]

I'm not sure what would draw him west.

He loved his time in Perth.

 

[Silent Alarm]

When will you realise most West Aussies would rather the Eagles and most eastern staters don't give two shits about coming to play in Perth, or us.

He simply will not come.

 

[TheMcManusNose]

Would be a terrible idea. Good player, but we've already got two gun, young, inside mids with average kicking.

The assets that would be required to get him would be far, far better used to secure some good talls, be it via draft or trade.
