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

[Buzz Hawk]

So there’s no realistic chance tommy could make it back for a finals tilt? That will 9 months by then (knowing of course he will have had no preseason as such).

Herald Sun stuff.

5 players who could replace Mitchell.

At what point was Lovell a prolific ball winner at State Level?

 

[Mississippi]

and who probably wouldn't get a game in any other team...

I'd have to agree with Carey in that case.
There's no way Tom Mitchell would get a game with any AFL side in season 2019.

And in later news… water is wet and the sky is blue!

In the under 18's.

St Kilda?

Technically speaking, that's still an AFL side.

Averaged 35 touches for Tassie in TAC Cup i think

 

[grumbleguts]

Well I for one applaud Mitchell's resourcefulness, when other players are trying all sorts of excuses to get out of AFLX Mitchell just goes BOOM!

Seems he's a sneaky chance for Round 1!

Even walking like that, he'd still be good for 10 clearances and 20 touches.

Seriously though, how is he walking already? I have no idea.

He’ll be back for this years Grand Final. Bigfooty’s going to implode.

 

[MrPremiership]

Lets not get too excited.

Gingerly moving up stairs is a long way from AFL footy.

I know, but is this normal to break both bones in the leg, and to be walking up stairs like 20 days later?

I expected him in a cast for 6 weeks...maybe walking after 8 weeks. Shows i am no *en doctor

he's got a lot of metal in his leg, he doesn't need the old style cast

 

[Furn2]

Won't play this year but thats still great signs for a full recovery and a big 2020.

I read a few websites that say weeks 4-6 will allow the person to put weight back on it.

He is at 3 weeks, so nothing outrageous.

I would love to see him jogging in a month

When’s Tom Mitchell contracted to ?
