"Tom Petroro is respected in his industry and whilst I note he is acting in his client's best interests - he acknowledged that HFC's offer was very good. Other managers and players would have paid close attention to the way Essendon handled this and refused to honour Merrett's request. On the surface it looks like they made a stand but if you dig a little deeper they have come across as difficult to deal with and have come across as a club that will not have their players' best interests at the forefront"

"The media initially reported that Sam Mitchell caught up with Oscar Allan in public at a coffee shop - this turned out to be completely false. Sam Mitchell went to Oscar Allan's home - that is as private as you can get. Obviously someone saw it/noticed it and went to the media. Could have Sam been more 'sneaky' or 'discreet' Probably. Does it change the fact that he still saw him for a meeting which Allan agreed to No. Players get head-hunted all the time. Allan was entering free agency and was in his right to explore options. It's the 'optics' of being Captain and it being Sam Mitchell that"

"You clearly have built up frustration with Sam Mitchell and Hawthorn (was it 1991 or 2015 that hurt more) They are doing what most clubs are doing you are naive if you think any different. Hawthorn was successful in recruiting Barrass and Battle last season and they are absolutely loving their time at Hawthorn. You are pretending Hawthorn could not attract anyone this off-season which is false (I am surprised you call yourself a journalist). Zach Merrett committed to Hawthorn. His manager said he wanted to play for Hawthorn - he requested Essendon to trade him to Hawthorn. Essendon refused to"

"On the surface it appears that Essendon supporter @CalTwomey has become a puppet for the Essendon PR machine and that is fine Well done to Essendon for trying to unsettle the Hawthorn playing group and running this campaign through the media Round X should be fun #GoHawthorn"

"@mcten Two of the Warriors starters (Curry and Draymond) have been playing together for the best part of XX years. You cant underestimate cohesion with teammates. Unfortunately for the Lakers they have been changing the majority of their roster continuously for seasons on end"

"Tom Petroro is respected in his industry and whilst I note he is acting in his client's best interests - he acknowledged that HFC's offer was very good. Other managers and players would have paid close attention to the way Essendon handled this and refused to honour Merrett's request. On the surface it looks like they made a stand but if you dig a little deeper they have come across as difficult to deal with and have come across as a club that will not have their players' best interests at the forefront"

"The media initially reported that Sam Mitchell caught up with Oscar Allan in public at a coffee shop - this turned out to be completely false. Sam Mitchell went to Oscar Allan's home - that is as private as you can get. Obviously someone saw it/noticed it and went to the media. Could have Sam been more 'sneaky' or 'discreet' Probably. Does it change the fact that he still saw him for a meeting which Allan agreed to No. Players get head-hunted all the time. Allan was entering free agency and was in his right to explore options. It's the 'optics' of being Captain and it being Sam Mitchell that"

"@Andrewmwattsfb @Reegs79 @FOXFOOTY @Ben_Cotton15 I just dont see how anyone could think we could play Frost Barrass Battle Sicily Scrimshaw all in the same side. Im leaving out Weddle who also played mostly down back. Unless there were plans for one of the key defenders to go forward but I doubt it"

"@CrooksOCE @CalTwomey You can wish anything you want Hawks haven't even gotten started. Ultimately what has transpired is that your Captain requested a trade to play for Sam Mitchell and HFC. EFC refused to trade. In spite EFC have now tabled an offer to a young Hawk star. Just amateur tactics"

"You clearly have built up frustration with Sam Mitchell and Hawthorn (was it 1991 or 2015 that hurt more) They are doing what most clubs are doing you are naive if you think any different. Hawthorn was successful in recruiting Barrass and Battle last season and they are absolutely loving their time at Hawthorn. You are pretending Hawthorn could not attract anyone this off-season which is false (I am surprised you call yourself a journalist). Zach Merrett committed to Hawthorn. His manager said he wanted to play for Hawthorn - he requested Essendon to trade him to Hawthorn. Essendon refused to"
