Tom Mitchell 50 possessions

[Sylvia Saint]

Who was the last player to achieve this? Was it Dane Swan against Port Adelaide? Fair effort from the kid.

It looked like Pies players were sledging him about his selfishness, what did BigFooty make of his game?

GAJ v Collingwood 2012. 53 touches in a big loss

 

[Godchin]

I think Scott Thompson and Gary Ablett are the only active players to have achieved it.

I think Ablett did it last against Collingwood at the MCG.

 

[Ricmel]

Thought his game lacked impact. Had 4 dinky little give and receive handballs at half back in the first 3 minutes of the game. Gets a lot of it, doesn't do much damage.

 

[Lightsxo]

Almost unprecedented amount of disposables.

 

[boncer34]

Treloars sledge was accurate.

 

[Hamingja]

Just a touch ironic that it was Treloar mocking him for cheap possessions!!!

 

[DapperDon]

36 of them useless.

 

[Brent24]

Good effort. But wasn't even the most influential midfielder for the game. Could make a case for barely being in the top 3.

GAJ v Collingwood 2012. 53 touches in a big loss

That answers my question because i was wondering whether anyone had got 50 or more possesions and been on the losing end.

 

[MisterMarcus]

I don't think it was "useless", as much as it was like GAJ in the early Gold Coast years.....he got all the touches but had no mates supporting him.

 

[Jiggyman]

Thanks Basil

 

[MaxHunt]

36 of them useless.

Yep. 336 meters gained. For that amount of ball shows how effective he was.

 

[HolyWars]

Thought it was a massive game by Tom. Found it ironic that it was Treloar making those gestures.

 

[SilentHunter_]

You don't need to tell us again. Basil the campaigner was going on about it all night, counting each touch.

 

[tek87]

good move by Bucks not to tag him

 

[Adz]

How many goal assists he have?

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

50 touches T. Mitchell

3 votes S. Pendlebury

 

[The Swert]

Would still rather 30 of Sam Mitchell's touches

 

[BigJackMichael]

matt priddis medal for possession gathering

 

[trossa]

Few cheapies throughout the night, and he definitely seemed like he knew how many touches he was on considering how quickly he played on with a few seconds to go, but still a very good game.

Most players who get huge numbers of possessions get cheap ones, look at Ablett on the GC the first few years they were in the league.

 

[maskmcgee]

Mitchell 50 touches
2nd Smith 26 touches

Collingwood:
Pendlebury 36
Treloar 34
Adams 33
Sidebottom 27


clearly cost hawks the game by refusing to give to anyone else

 

[ioppolo]

Worst 50 possession game ever

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Good for my SC but thought it was useless possession gathering

 

[tek87]

Would still rather 30 of Sam Mitchell's touches

I would rather have 15 of Stephen Hill touches
