Sam Mitchell has his side back into a preliminary final to take on the Geelong Cats. Josh Weddle speaks about him, Jai Newcombe and Jack Gunston shine

Sam Mitchell, who draws the strings, is an ironic person who loves to talk about him. Hawthorn was on the field in which he played Geelong in the final in 2016.

Mitchell, after the match at the media conference “Thank you for bringing this to the agenda,” he said (they lost two points).

So what makes Mitchell such a good coach?

“Personally, he does it for me and for others, he trusts us, Wed Weddle said to this Masthead.

“He believes in my own game – he does it for all of us. He trusts me when I go there. [I] Hope and I believe that the right decision.

“If I make a mistake, he looks at me and says, ‘Weddings, you are better than that’.

“And that’s completely fair. But it gives me confidence to do my job and get the game. And the same thing for everyone else – leaving us all behind.

“Everyone on the team has their own weapons. This is what he tells us. He tells us to go there and use our weapons. So my harness, speed and air contests for me. And like Jarsy for other men [Jarman Impey]This is his run and moved half -back. Or for fog [James Sicily]The ability to influence competitions.

“The best use of each individual’s talent. Their minds and the game IQ and what we need is always the right thing.”

They tell words from a man born in 2004. To make it a context, Mitchell was playing his third season at Hawthorn at a time when he was not fully famous for encouraging coaches players not to be afraid of making mistakes.

The man quickly deviated when asked about the evolution of the coaching style.

“If I’m honest, I’m not really evaluating my coaching right now, Mit Mitchell said hardly.

“I think every coach is trying to get the best of his players as they see appropriate.

“It’s easy for Josh Weddle to use his weapons – there are a few.”

Weddle kidnapped eight -week football with back injury after stress fractures were taken in a screening. He admitted that there was a worrying time, including a two -week period, which he convinced that he would not play again this season.

“I was just sitting in training by bike every day – he just marked the legs, takes sweat, watching men’s training from glass,” he said.

“It was a difficult time, but I had a few men in the rehabilitation group, so I am very grateful for that.”

The 21 -year -old child was reflected in the difficult period, which was made more stressful when he decided to leave the house with his mother and father and act with his teammate Dylan Moore.

“Yes, [it’s] I decided to do it a week before the GWS final. ”He smiled.

“But they all worked.”

And they all worked for Hawks who found themselves in their first preliminary finals in 10 years.

This match in 2015 was a 27 -point win against Ross Lyon’s Fremantle in Subiaco.

Best from the ground that day? He disposed of eight more of anyone on the ground. Yeah, Mitchell.
