My question relates to Mitch Hanna. Can someone explain what the issue that the Dees had with Mitch.
It can’t be his disposal quality. It can’t be his footy smarts. He was dropped a couple of times in 2020 so the coaches don’t like something about Mitch.
Is it his work ethic? Does he not get enough of the ball? Does he not tackle enough?
Come on Dees fanatics. Tell me!!

Trade and draft review: Demons draft dodging
I have been a devoted supporter/member for decades. I was at the ‘G when Jack Viney and Ollie Wines had their first game against each other. We Dee supporters had been told, we may not win but you will never leave a game disappointed in our effort or knowing what we stand for.
We got flogged by 70 plus points against Port and it never got better.
I was at a supporter’s meeting with ND/RDB/GL etc. in 2006 I think it was. ND said mate this is our year. We crashed from game 1.
I hung in there because I love the Dees. I thought if Nathan Jones can see this through, so can I.
Like many, I have been at the G with about 15,000 true blue’s, with our heart’s beating true for the R & B.
It has already been said but it is fact:
We owe a huge debt to PETER JACKSON -without him , Paul roos doesn’t come to the Dees.
We owe a huge debt to Paul Roos for introducing all that footy nouse and reality about our list and Club.
We owe a huge debt to our Board for engaging GP which introduced vision and a plan to succeed.
We owe a huge debt to TL and the the list management team.
We owe a huge debt to DB and I wish him all the best in heading back to SA. I am so sorry to see him go. I hope that the Elite performance team he has left behind can shine without his presence.
We owe a huge debt to SG for his strength of character to persevere in some pretty dark times for he and the team. The changes to our coaching staff in 20/21 has obviously made a huge difference to the dynamics of our on field performance.
Last but never least, we owe a huge debt to the one and only Nathan Jones. Never let him be forgotten as an amazing Melbourne person. I honestly could not have kept going to the footy, in these dark years of recent times if it wasn’t for his love for the Club and never give in attitude. Heart and Soul. You bet.
I believe that the list we have has only scratched the surface of what they can achieve. For me, it has been like watching your children grow up and develop into the sort of people you hope they can be.
Talk of dynasties is way too soon. Can they? Sure. Will they? Hunger/injuries/continued growth/fitness/love of their teammates and care etc. will tell.
I can’t wait to get to the G next year and watch the Dees play.
My old heart beats true for the R & the B. Always has. Always will.
**** My footy handle is Demon39. Love what you are NJ. Great human being and a fabulous footballer. Thanks for everything Nev. Best of luck on your future life journey.
