Player Watch #8 Alice Mitchell

[SwansProudly]

Alice Mitchell
Recruited from: Gunnedah Bulldogs
Height: 180cm
DOB: 8/8/2001
Position: Defender

Sydney local Alice Mitchell put her hand up for selection after impressing throughout the Summer Series while playing for ‘Swans Red.’ A former Mosman Swans player, Mitchell moved to Gunnedah to play with the Bulldogs and went on to win their local championship in their first ever women’s team.
“Alice is a tall defender who can go forward,” Gowans said. “She has elite hands and a left foot that can find targets. We like that she takes the game on, and she works hard to grow her craft.

“We have Gunnedah volunteer Alan Martin to thank for alerting us to Alice. We watched her closely during the first game of the Summer Series and gave her some feedback on a few things to try. She executed on those in her performance in the Summer Series matches in Canberra, and that got her over the line.”

Seven new Swans as Sydney’s AFLW list builds

The Sydney Swans AFLW team has taken another huge step forward with seven more players committing to the team.

Mitchell moved to Gunnedah to play with the Bulldogs

Been puzzling over this line. I assume they mean she moved to Gunnedah, so she played with the Bulldogs, not that she moved to Gunnedah for the reason of playing with the Bulldogs. Or are they some massive powerhouse in women's footy? Says their team only started in 2020? Seems like a long way to move for a country AFL side.

Perhaps Alice is a Sam Naismith fan

“Unfortunately, Alice has sustained an ACL injury in the past week and will be not able to take part in season seven. However, we believe Alice is a talent and we know she will work hard to be back for season eight. We will apply for Alice to be on our inactive list post draft and look to sign a replacement player.”

First AFLW draftees welcomed to Sydney

Five new players have been added to the Sydney Swans AFLW list after the 2022 AFLW Draft at Marvel Stadium on Wednesday evening.

My understanding is that she moved from Mosman to join the Gunnedah Bulldogs for their inaugural season - and she helped them win the premiership in her first season! Real pity she has injured her knee and will miss this season.

Hope she's no relation to those other Mitchell's

If think Tom's father, Barry was born Yarrawonga Victoria so very unlikely to be related.

From ACL injury so Alice missed all of season 7, to debut.
Have fun on Sunday, Alice

It caught me by surprise to see her playing forward today. I thought she was a defender. Never seen her play before.

Alice Mitchell will play her 25th AFLW game, what’s her contribution to the side been?

Alice has really taken her game to a new level in the last 2 seasons. She leaves no stone unturned in trying to become the best player she can be and that is showing in her defensive craft and ability to shutdown a dangerous opponent each and every week

Alice is one of my favourites. No nonsense, just gets in there and often as not you can see her fist poking up as the ball comes shooting out!
