Past #35 Caleb Mitchell

[SeanM]

My first impressions were

*A wing/half back with potential to play inside mid.
*Not super quick over short distances, but good endurance runner, tall and the frame to put on size as he gets older
*Does not seem to be a notable field kick. But can win possessions at the contests and is comfortable handballing in congestion
* Maybe he will end up being more of a half back flanker or defensive minded winger

Beatson is still list manager, if he thinks Mitchell is developing we'd be insane not to extend him

I think he manages list strategy (future) and recruitment but isn't invloved with the actual contracting and decisions on current players.

Had the privilege of sitting next to Sid’s family at the GF today.

Absolutely lovely people, from Yarrawonga.

I hope Sid gets a contract extension, because nicer people you could not hope to meet.

One year extension for “defender” Caleb Mitchell

Poor Sid.

Seems to have become the forgotten Swan.

Languishing in the VFL in a contract year.

Two years ago I genuinely held high hopes that he’d become a solid AFL standard player (even though as others noted, the fact he’s a bit one-paced was always going to be a limiting factor).

I still can’t help but worry about the lack of development we see in the VFL ranks. Far too many just seem to stagnate & ultimately disappear.

He hasn't got it, too slow and poor disposal. Delist

Toby Pink going ok at North.

I noted this the other day and got abused.

Just the way it goes when you have a senior side competing at the top for a lengthy period. We can't even fit them all in now let alone when we're back to being fully fit. An exceptional player tho will manage to find their way in.

He tried and was not helped by a group of senior players who refused to keep up their end of the bargain for a young player. Deserves to keep his spot for next week.

I mean, this guy is expected to come in with that happening around him and at he ends up opposed to Dawson inside forward fifty. What hope did he have. But to his credit he kept trying so he deserves to play next week.

Some patches early it was like he was the only one chasing hard, ran back to stop a goal etc and then maybe Ladhams

Yep he cracked in as hard as he could. Had nothing left. Not disgraced. One thing - Sid is a decent size but how much bigger is Dawson! I'd forgotten just how big.

Not as tall as Cripps.

I'm surprised we forgot to farewell Sid!

Very best wishes to you with your footy journey continuing at the Devils with Foxy. You have a great work ethic and elite running ability. I hope you continue to develop and get another shot. Sayonara.
