2013 Supercoach Player Profiles: Tom Mitchell

[nichsa673]

Tom Mitchell is a bit of a forgotten man, but in my opinion, he should be your first picked rookie in your team next year. He is regarded as the best 18 year old in the country, and a very good talent that should not go un picked. His first half of the season was wrecked with injury, but his second half of the year he played in the Swans reserves and was extremely good, recording at least one game with over 40 possessions. Playing at Sydney, I'm sure he will get games as they will aim to rest a few of their older players throughout the year, eg. O'Keefe, McVeigh, Bolton, Goodes.

Some of his stats from 2011 in the WAFL for claremont are very impressive.

nice write up, would not say he is a forgotten man at all if named round 1 will be in heaps of teams i'll get him in if named round 1 if not only when/if he is on the bubble hard to see him getting enough games

[nichsa673]

i would think he would play upwards of 12-14 games. What do you think?

[batt]

If he was at any other club he'd be an absolute lock for me.  I just can't see there being any room in the best midfield in the AFL for him to play a productive role.

[nichsa673]

I agree with you that Sydney have a good midfield, although not the best. They have a very deep midfield, with Jack, Kennedy and O'Keefe the predominant 3. Bolton will rest a fair bit next year if he is to continue, and there other midfielders, like Hannebery and Jetta are outside midfielders. I think it will be out of him and Parker as to h=who gets the last position in the midfield

gws has the best midfield

I think we found out why hahaha

[nichsa673]

ok, similiar circumstance for youngster Brad Crouch at Adelaide. I will be looking closely at him, do you think he will get games?

[kilbluff1985]

i give Crouch more of a chance of getting games then Mitchell not much more though

Likely starter for me if named round 1.

Parker is ahead of him and he will be fighting for spots with the likes of Gordon, Harry and Rohan.

He still hasnt played a full game of 2nds yet. He was ramping up until he got soreness and tendinitis in his injured knee. The Swans wont rush him at all as he has gun written all over him. Dont expect him to be there in the first half of the season (although he may get a game in the NAB cup).

IMO he will be a great downgrade target next year around R9.

if he's named round 1 then i will be locking this kid away.
