DISCARDED Hawk Mitch Thorp will train with Melbourne during the pre-season in a effort to kick-start his AFL career.
Thorp, who turns 21 on Christmas Day, managed only two games for Hawthorn over the past three seasons with a series of injuries and indifferent form limiting his impact.
His manager, Liam Pickering, confirmed today the 194cm forward and one-time No.6 draft pick was hopeful of being selected by the Demons in December's pre-season draft.
"He's a good fit for them, he's a key position player," Pickering said.

Tiger Dean Putt will train with Hawthorn, ex-Bulldog Guy O'Keefe at Geelong and former Roo Matt Riggio at Fremantle in the pre-season
