Tom Mitchell signs

[Bonz]

Swans supporters,
never you worry about the future of tom mitchell at your football club
this kid is an absolute gun. I used to be good mates with him before he moved to perth, ripper bloke and an unbelieveable footballer, his work ethic and ability to win the football continuously amazed the crowd. Won every award possible at junior level including a BOG in the div 1 grand final in a losing 10 goal side
Now reading about him at Claremont and playing for WA, it seems as he has improved out of sight, if that was even possible
comments provided by the workers at the AIS/AFL Academy praise him for his clearance and hard ball gets, does not stop winning the footy.
Was always going to go to Sydney, even when Barry was coaching at Carlton and Hawthorn, always had a soft spot for the swans.
Hope this clears a few things up. ( was definatly going to go top 10 if he didnt get father/son)

My pants are all sticky now...

Has anyone seen enough of him play to be able to describe his style? How quick is he, for instance?

I've never seen him play but i think we can safely say that Tom Mitchell is the greatest player in the history of Australian Rules Football

Nah, Luke Shuey plays for West Coast already.

From what I've seen, I believe he could be described as a Gary Ablett Jnr-type, with his balance, core strength and ability to find the ball, mixed in with a bit of Jamie Lawson's speed, some of Gary Ablett Snr's aerial skills and Jonathan Brown's strength overhead, and definitely Cyril Rioli's goal sense and ability at ground level. His kicking and handpassing is like Nathan Buckley's and James Hird's respectively, and you can add in Glenn Archer's toughness and Brett Kirk's leadership to complete the picture.

Yed, he'd be top 10 for sure if it weren't for F/S.
