Re: Mitchell gets a headstart

Another issue with Mitchell is that he appears to be dishing off highly accurate, long handballs to moving targets in space.

The kids going to have to learn how to handball to the knees of a stationary team mate 1 meter away.

BOG against S.A the other night for mine, reminds me off a young Luke Power.......Will play Senior footy next year for sure!

Go Swanies!

Re: Mitchell gets a headstart

Yeah some poor foot disposal in there mixed with some tough effective disposal, but if he hasn't played much that would explain some rust. No doubt he hunts the footy, racks up the possies at that level,gets to the right drop zone and is tough at it.
Great signs
 
Re: Mitchell gets a headstart

Yeah fair call on the foot disposal (will fit in well with our boys in the Seniors :)

His in and under work was fantastic, covers the ground well so Happy Days! Looks like we have got a good one!

True, but he will soon learn these things. We've managed to teach that skill to the majority of our other players and they do it with perfection. ;)
 
Re: Mitchell gets a headstart

I saw the match against SA and Mitchell was very impressive.People around were saying that we'll be giving up our highest draft pick for him but he will be worth it,no doubt.We are building a very good young midfield. Mitchell looked to be well built and around a similar height to Hanners,Parker,Jetta and Bird.Surprised he wasn't AA but I only saw the one match.

Re: Mitchell gets a headstart

Anyone know what he's been doing the last few weeks? He hasn't been playing for Claremont in the last two weeks.
 
Re: Mitchell gets a headstart

I wonder if the Swans Academy are trying to get our potential future players like Mitchel, Brandon Jack and Lloyd Perris into the same squad sometimes so they can learn each others game style and build understanding.
 
Re: Mitchell gets a headstart

He has been playing school football for Hale School WA. Apparently been putting on a few master classes.

Thats good to know that he hasn't injured himself again. Also i am glad he is dominating for his school football team and not to put much pressure on him but i would expect nothing less given what i have seen and heard of him.

I notice that there is a T Mitchell selected for Claremont colts this weekend. I would say there is a strong chance that it is Tom.

I don't think it is. I could be wrong though but i think i remember someone pointing him out a few months ago and us realising later on that it is a different T.Mitchell.

If it isn't him then for some reason after the U18 Championships Tom seems to have dropped off the face of the planet.

Wasn't that getting him mixed up with Kane Mitchell? I don't think there's another T.Mitchell for Claremont.

And he hasn't dropped off the radar, he's been dominating for his school.

This T Mitchell who I think is Tom is having a huge game for Claremont colts.

Half time 23 disposals, 13 kicks 10 handballs, 4 marks 8 tackles.

If it is him then it is great news. Of course we could all be getting excited over some 35 year old bloke who happens to be called T.Mitchell but by the look of those stats it is most likely Tom.

Also out of curiosity where did you get those stats?
