Tom Mitchell, recovering from a broken leg and now a Hawk until the end of 2023

[Ned Ryerson]

We did. And his family built the whole culture of the club.

He was told to fight for his position and offered a one year deal. He took the easy money and easy way out. He wasn’t offloaded.

 

[MrPremiership]

A lot of talk about Mitchell and how damaging his possessions are.

Well:
- 8 inside 50s (game high)
- 7 score involvements (game high)
- 9 clearances (game high)

That's damaging.

27 contested possies too, also a game high.

 

[ClarkoCommandos]

Only Danger, Dusty, Rance and Buddy ahead of him now, Kelly, Crouch and T Mitch are the next crop after the big 4

 

[HolyRioli]

Where is Sam at ?

Living the Cottesloe life, lives on the same street as my folks, so have bumped into him a couple of times

Should be able to add Fyfe back into that crop by the end of the season. Didn't have a great game against Port, but then his whole team got flogged.

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

To the flogs out there who say but he doesn't hurt you cos of a lack of metres gained, well he had over 700 metres gained on Saturday.

Better come up with another reason you muppets.

Do we know what his assisted meters gained was?

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

I don't know that sorry.

1000+???

 

[Xtreme]

Should have aimed for a goal every 6 posessions

That would have been more impressive

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

I heard Tom was admitted to the hospital with leather poisoning on Saturday night after the game
Apparently it was extremely bad.

 

[cryptor]

Anyone reckon he's got it in him to reach the 60 disposal mark at some point?

I know reaching the 50+ mark itself is already so rare, but if it wasn't for that "quiet" 8 disposal 3rd quarter he could've just as easily reached 60 in that game.

He's certainly the most likely to do so. Only player to ever have multiple 50+ touch games in VFL/AFL history.

My opinion is no.

Only because every other coach in the game isn't as naive/stupid as Buckley.

Having said that he is a freak.

He had 64 in the reserves at Sydney.

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

He had 64 in the reserves at Sydney.

You are spot on but NEAFL is rubbish.

 

[StillAtLarge]

He had 64 in the reserves at Sydney.

After that they started calling him Nintendo.
Quality

What did you do to him Leather Poisoning?!

 

[Roddy]

I love how, at either ends of the spectrum, we have Mitchell who kills you with 50 possies, and then there's Cyril who kills you with 15.

 

[MrPremiership]

Imagine if he did the kick ins too, and just did the short kick to himself.

Nick Reiwoldt just virtually quoted me word for word.

 

[Max Powers]

Kicking goals and arse!

 

[Slysh]

No one can argue now that he is one of the top few best players in the comp!

 

[seysearles]

6 brownlow votes in 2 games. Lock it in.

 

[VandoHawk]

Beat the 'Holy Trinity' (smh) - makes him the Antichrist

 

[Dinner Plate]

Fantastic effort from Mitchell. And didn't once duck for a free, fall to the ground for a free, or appeal desperately to any umpire, anyone please, for a free kick.

Quality player. Brownlow a real chance.
