Tom Mitchell out for season 2019
Bad luck Hawks. Fingers crossed we escape the injury curse this year.

Re: Tom Mitchell out for season 2019
Has it been confirmed that he is out for the season?AFL wrote: HAWTHORN star Tom Mitchell's season is likely over after he broke his leg at training on Friday morning.
Returning in the first session following the Christmas break, Mitchell sustained the injury during a tackling drill.
The club has comfirmed to AFL.com.au an ambulance was called to Waverley Park, with Mitchell rushed to hospital.
The Brownlow medallist will have surgery over the weekend, and then begin a rehabilitation program.

Pretty much the season it seems. Bad break. It ruined N. Brown's career.

Putting Clarko and Richo in the same sentence is kind of weird.

Re: Tom Mitchell out for season 2019
Really sad for Tom & AFL in general . He's a gun player & I personally would like to wish him well & hope he can get back to playing again later in the year.

Obligatory comment: Injured Gun Player - Saints will be soooo into him!

Re: Tom Mitchell out for season 2019
Hawks will replace some of his output with "Injured Gun Players" O'Meara and Scully. And there's always another Injured Gun Player in Burgoyne.Sainter_Dad wrote: ↑Sat 12 Jan 2019 6:58am Obligatory comment: Injured Gun Player - Saints will be soooo into him!

Take Lenny Hayes for example, the man is inspirational, a natural leader and IMHO he would make an immediate impact and be a great senior coach with Ratten and others supporting this transition.
I'm saying thank Richardson for his time and appoint Lenny Hayes as the new senior coach ASAP before wasting another season. Whatever improvement is made this year will be less than optimally possible with Richardson still at the helm! I don't think the list is as bad as 2018 would suggest.

Re: Tom Mitchell out for season 2019
Had a bad tib & fib displaced break when I was young, the leg was never the same after it, though Mitchell will have the best surgeons available.
Also took a fair bit of time to get over mentally to get back to playing. For 12 months I used to be relieved to get through a game unscathed.
If it’s a bad one he’d will not play again this year.
Good luck and best wishes to the lad.

Sorry I misunderstood and didn't read that in your statement. You need to be clearer.

He's out for the year.
That’s not normally a good sign.
