Analysis Tom Mitchell

[Heeney2Franklin]

Kevin Sheehan said so in Mitchell's draft year.

Recorded a 14.1 beep test is that above average?

Longmire's job just became safer

Tom mitchell according to some cant gallop over 5km and hr and kicks it up floating 20m max, surprised he made the draft

Kids a gun

Kicking underrated, his clangers have taken on mythical proportions

If the kid gets dropped im going get a tonne of frog $hit delivered to the club, because if he gets dropped its frogs $hit.

Only dropping that would be dumber than mitchell would be Buddy

Statistically Mitchell was the 2nd best Swan.

I think it's the quick kick under pressure Tom has problems with. Gets his body in an awkward position which sees the ball go skyward.

No doubt coachable and will need to be persistent to make it instinctual.

Has elite hands though and he will only get better. Kennedy and Parker are more your battering rams, Kennedy in particular has elite core strength in standing up through the tackle. Tom appears to be much cleaner at the contest in that his hands are fast enough for him to avoid the need of staying long in a tackle like Kennedy or Parker.

I think he will be even better this week after only one week step up from NEAFL.

Modifying an old quote

“Whatever Mitchell does he must do twice as well as the rest of the midfield to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.”

Mitchell is a better kick than parker imo

I'd like to see Mitchell get dropped, but only because I'd like to see how you go about getting a tonne of frog shit. That'd be almost as hard as collecting fish farts.

You think Mitchell is a chance to go?

Surely not?

Yer him and Towers.

Yer him and Towers.

I will be marching to sydney then

Not from a set shot.

Yeah true, but nothing to do with field kicking

There can be no justification for Mitchell going, and I am not a lover of him they way some are, but he was very good in the conditions.....can't help but think McGlynn would of been handy last Saturday as well. (Waits for howls of protest). I think Shaw is in trouble, Rampe will hold on because defensively I think he is good.....with ball in hand, no worse than Shaw? The next fans favourite to come in?? Hewett or Jones? and where is Allir at?

I will be at the G and I just hope we don't get what we got last year.....however I feel we will, particularly as it looks like rain.

 

[The King!]

Im expecting a small win in a dull game

Yeah that would be tough guess he would need to eat allot of frogs.

"He just does" - signed his Big Footy fan club

Seriously Mitchell has his faults but it doesn't make him any less of a player by pointing them out, he can improve on them and become a better player. Each of Kennedy, Parker, Hannebery, Jack and McVeigh have faults and so its not crazy to say the same of Mitchell.

This. A lot of this.

I want him in the side for good too but his supporters need to relax.
