SYDNEY Swans midfielder Tom Mitchell isn't looking beyond Saturday's Grand Final and will leave discussions about his future until the end of the season.
The out-of-contract Mitchell has been strongly linked with a move to Hawthorn, with reports this week the Hawks could on-trade the second-round pick they are likely to obtain from Fremantle for Bradley Hill.

Mitchell told AFL.com.au at the Grand Final parade on Friday he wasn't worried he could be playing his last game for the Swans.
"It's something I haven't thought about all season," Mitchell said.
"I'm sure the club and my manager will worry about that when the season's done, but it hasn't affected me.
"My focus is solely on the finals so far and the game tomorrow.
"I love Sydney and I love playing with a great bunch of blokes.
"We've come a long way this year and we just have to do whatever we can to get the job done."
Asked if it would be hard to leave the Swans if they won the premiership, Mitchell said, "Like I said, it's something I haven't given a lot of thought to.
"My focus is solely on getting the win tomorrow.
"We've prepared well all week and we know what we have to do, it's just about executing tomorrow."
One of Mitchell's biggest tasks will be to help limit the influence of Western Bulldogs star Marcus Bontempelli.
Mitchell said it would be all hands on deck to ensure Bontempelli doesn't dominate the stoppages.
"No real set jobs at the moment, but who knows, the match ups can change throughout the game and I could have him at times," Mitchell said.
"I think it's pretty hard to stop him one on one.
"He's obviously a quality player and he's proven that all season.
"I think it will be a collective effort to try and nullify his influence and we'll do the best job we can."
