Re: Mitchell gets a headstart

Absolutely loving it And yes this is our Mitchell. Looking on the WAFL player list their is only one T Mitchell listed and that's him.

Re: Mitchell gets a headstart

Great movement on the ball foot disposal can be improved but the attributes he has is what every young player should try and get before senior footy.

He will make his debut next year but 2013 will be his first big season

Unlikely to be a 35 year old playing colts football.

3/4 time.

Half time 33 disposals, 18 kicks 15 handballs, 5 marks 8 tackles.

He is up to 36 disposals now. 14 more disposals than the next closest on his team.

Re: Mitchell gets a headstart

He's just going by our guidelines as a recruit when it comes to our goalkicking Legend166.

Fits the job description perfectly.

Finished with 45 touches, next best was 25

Re: Mitchell gets a headstart

I love this kid already. Should be in our best 22 next year. Hopefully wins the Rising Star as well next year. Would be our 3rd if he does.

Re: Mitchell gets a headstart

What's impressive is that he laid 9 tackles as well as racking up 45 touches

Gun. Not the most outstanding athlete but a pure footballer that should rank alonge side Coniglio and Wingard.

Nice to see Waylen Manson kick a lazy 8.4 goals in his second Colts game, he's an indigenous tall forward standing 195cm.

Thought he was running a 15 beep test when he was 16 before the injuries.

Can't wait for this guy to play in the AFL, haven't seen him yet but heard there is plenty to like.

I was talking more about speed, agility and height.

Eh as long as he can use the ball well not so fussed

But our midfield is shaping up rather nicely

Re: Mitchell gets a headstart

From the Claremont AFL site:

http://www.claremontfc.com.au/mitchell-stars-on-return/

Outstanding midfielder Tom Mitchell made his long-awaited return to the Claremont colts side at Claremont Oval on Saturday morning when he provided the fans with an exhilarating display of his football skills in the match against Peel Thunder.
The 18-year-old Year 12 Hale School student was an irresistible force and
he emerged as the game’s standout player. He was the major driving force behind the side’s 91-point victory, finishing with six marks, 22 kicks and 23 handpasses.
A ferocious in-and-under competitor, the left-footed Mitchell also had game-high tallies of nine tackles and 11 clearances from stoppages

What a freak, so happy he's already a Swan.

Re: Mitchell gets a headstart

What a cutie-sorry, beauty

Reminds me of a younger ROK, might be the body type.

 

[BarneyBent]

Re: Mitchell gets a headstart

I wonder if he'll get picked for seniors after that performance...

Hope not, want him to come to the club injury free.

Re: Mitchell gets a headstart

Great game again from Tom this weekend. Leading disposal gatherer on the ground with 35. Took 6 marks, laid 6 tackles and kicked a goal.

Re: Mitchell gets a headstart

Looks the goods to me so far

Re: Mitchell gets a headstart

A bit harsh IMHO

http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sport/a/-/wafl/10222921/sydney-finals-ban-on-mitchell/

Sydney have banned rising teenage star Tom Mitchell from taking part in Claremont's league finals campaign.

The 18-year-old has signed a million-dollar deal to join the Swans next year under the father-son rule and is bound to follow Sydney's instructions.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Re: Mitchell gets a headstart

A good idea imo.

Not with his injury history.

Re: Mitchell gets a headstart

It'd be a bit harsh if he was banned from playing in the colts side he's already in but not letting him play seniors is fair enough IMO. The club has invested a lot of money in him already. They'd wanna protect their investment as much as possible. Let him dominate colts for a bit longer.

Re: Mitchell gets a headstart

Probably for the best, but would have liked to have seen him go up against the best in the WAFL.
