Hawthorn recruit Tom Mitchell (pictured) says it was an easy decision to make to join Hawthorn.

Mitchell is one of a number of trades made by the Hawks, who also picked up Ty Vickery from Richmond and in a last minute flurry, were finally able to lock down Jaeger O’Meara.

Former Swan Mitchell is an ideal replacement in the Hawks midfield for the departing Sam Mitchell and he says he’s excited about what lies ahead from him at one of the AFL’s powerhouse clubs.
