I have no idea if players read forums but i'm sure Mitch gave his all for us. Yes, it's time we moved on. He couldn't take his chances with us but i wish him well in whatever he does next.
Sorry! Just my two cents
Well said. Some of it is completely and unnecessarily boorish.
Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
Yep i don't think he is good enough but he never failed due to a lack of effort. Always gave his best.

Don't ever apologise for defending a Dogs player (even one that may in the process of being moved on). Good on you, couldn't agree more and that goes for any outgoing player. Don't have to be a fan but can still show respect.

Gold Coast currently don't have one. Their picks as it stands currently are 2,17,26,29, 38, 41, 74 (5th round). This is before trading and Lynch compo which will add pick 3 to this list. So it's a lot of picks for them to play with.
I suspect they wouldn't give up anything before pick 74 outright however but could possibly give us a small pick upgrade. We have 42 so they might take a Honeychuch & pick 42 combo for pick 38. Maybe something like that.
Would love it if GC ended their draft night at pick 29 so we could get their pick 38 for HC - wishful thinking to say the least.

Money well spent. No place for slating a guy who might be limited in ability but always tried his guts out.
Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
Pittard and Hombsch from Port may be on the trade table

That's how I see it. If players have been distracted or haven't given their best then they should be called out. If players don't quite make it with us then we should be a bit more respectful.
I think Honeychurch plays as hard as he can so I can't fault his effort.

Well using the Lachie Weller logic from last year I think that we can expect absurd overs from the GC because he "wants to go there". Hope we've enquired about pick 26 if not 3.

Feel bad for Pittard after turning down big money to stay, but he just can't stop burning the footy in horrible positions.
Hombsch was a decent player but his body is shot.

I actually wouldnt be overly surprised with that. Even 41 would be good

I just believe in fair criticism.
I never go for the "he's a dud/list clogger" stuff because while they may not make it long term, they've made it to the highest level in the land and that in itself deserves respect.
I hope he gets picked up elsewhere and goes ok.
Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
Norf have made a couple of interesting delistings in Mitch Hibberd & Josh Williams. Both were rated reasonably highly in their draft years, 2015 & 2106 respectively. I believe we were interested in Williams in particular as a tall running player with a bust of speed.

There's a lot of talk that this coming trade period is going to be off the charts. A few clubs, including ours, seem to be clearing up a number of list spots.

Agree. Sometimes shots get fired in the heat. Party boys deserve roastings. Guys that don't quite make elite but give a hundee percent should be given credit. Almost all AFL list players have at one stage or another shown something that most people haven't. By all accounts he a top young lad aswell. I'd love to see him at gc if he gets a chance.
