Tom Mitchell breaks state league record

[TheWhiteRhino]

The NEAFL is a bit of a Mickey Mouse competition, but these stats are ridiculous:

64 disposals
24 contested possessions
12 clearances
14 inside 50s
22 score involvements
4 goals

269 Supercoach points
243 DT points

lol

 

[moses]

Is he getting paid per touch? Amazing stats.

 

[Whowants2know]

Knew I should have made him captain.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Would hardly call the NEAFL a state league.

Even though the NEAFL is pretty crap, Horse would be completely stupid to not include him for the Geelong game.

 

[Mancey]

Pretty nuts, that would be good stats for 2 blokes

[master bate]

Great example for a AFL reserves comp!

but who goes out?

 

[nameless]

That's amazing, regardless of opposition you've still got to be good enough to get it.

Assuming he played 70-80min game time, he's pretty much touched the ball once every minute throughout the game.

Good to see he's fully fit again, is one of the best youngsters in the game.

 

[Inertia]

but who goes out?

Lloyd or B. Jack

NEAFL is a pretty shit comp but Mitchell's also a pretty good footballer. You think he'd nearly be recalled.

Where do Sydney find these players?

It's obvious after listening to Longmire and one of the other Swans coaches on the weekend that Mitchell is in the reserves to learn a few things before he makes his way back to the seniors. There was no doubt in the words they used that he was a first 22 player and it was just a matter of time before he was back playing firsts. Going by this game, could be as early as next game.

The kid is a talent and the Swans got him for next to nothing due to father / son. How good is their midfield looking. Goes very very deep.

Where do Sydney find these players?

Considering his father played 170 games for the club, he wasn't exactly hiding under a rock.

Shows how bad the NEAFL is

Shows how bad the NEAFL is

Gold Coast reserves are winless and bottom while the Lions have only won two games. Perhaps it shows more the strength of the Swans and how well they are being coached.

Um, his dad played 160-odd games for Sydney.

Well Gold Coast has no Depth Then and we know that Lions have nothing

 

[Despair]

I think you'll find that it was really two players combined stats.

Tom had 35 disposals and Mitchell had 29.

NEAFL isn't a bad league. Their top 8 would be competitive in the VFL or SANFL

Yeah nah.

Gun!

Nah, it's actually a terrible league and wouldn't even stand a chance in the VFL, SANFL and WAFL, all would have it covered.
