Tom Mitchell

i voted no because I already have him in my team. You should already have him

Why would we get a player before he's on the bubble...

I wouldn't have done it if this wasn't a bye round. Moloney had to go and Mitchell was a sure thing to come into my side at some point and I needed a rd 12 bye midfielder. By trading him early I was to get his points for this round.

Because you already have him then you should've voted yes? Either way, the thread is pointless, because if he's not in your fantasy sides yet (like me) then gotta get him Rd 13.

To be fair, he was not a lock heading into this round, could've easily been sub (doubtful, but possible) and noone expected the Crows not to turn up.

Obviously i'm pissed that i chsoe to turn M.Jones into Stanton this week instead of Mitchell, but I can still get him in Rd 13 for JOM. :)

What I meant was he was not a lock for me to trade him in rd 13

Yeah that is fair if I was in your position I would have done the same, I was speaking on behalf of the people who didn't need to bring him in urgently and could afford to wait until round 13 

[Tominator]

not sure whether to make Ablett or Mitchell my captain...

[Kellogscrunchynut]

Surely one of the lowest breakevens of all time.

Then two bad injuries Rd 12 bam! You can't get him! Get them when you can!

[MGK1]

Imagine if he wasn't sub the first week.

[Colliwobblers]

got him in after his first game, has to be a lock, in their side and yours :)

[Kellogscrunchynut]

As soon as lockout is over

Whitfield > Mitchell.

But the same could be said about Tom Mitchell... What's stopping him from getting injured in his third game or even before it?? I would feel a lot more secure picking him once he has been named to play in his third game. If I had two bad injuries I'd just prioritise.. "When is my chance to get a rookie this good again?" Most likely never in the season so I'd bench the two players and bring him in.. The whole point is irrelevant. If you must get a player before the bubble (out of necessity, whether it be for fielding a full team or heavy trades the next week) it is perfectly justified but it shouldn't be expected unless it is out of necessity, otherwise whats the rush?? If I had no impending issues I'd rather wait until the bubble and so would you...

I've got good cover for next week and if there is a problem with my mids in r13 that is the week I'll be getting Mitchell anyway.. I'm in no rush so I'd rather have the benefit of a safety blanket so next week Kommer-> Hrovat & Currie-> Nicholls and the week after Crouch-> T. Mitch no risk entailed whatsoever and a bit more cash. I only need to field 18 as well so that makes everything that slightest bit easier

[tbagrocks]

Nope, if I had a spare trade, Evens would have been Mitchell, get the cash earlier, lose a spud earlier, win/win

Why wait till bubble? That makes little sense to me

I forgot to mention a spare, I spent my trades this week bringing in Stants and to sideways a non-playing rookie to one who was listed. I still wouldn't have brought him in this early but Evans was set to lose cash so you made the right choice at the time and in hindsight it was also the right choice (because lets face it no one... Thought he would even go 100+ this very week)

I picked mitchell because I thought he was a legitimate chance of scoring a ton. If you watched him play last week you would know how influential he was and with all the stars at sydney, i.e. Jack, McVeigh, Kennedy, Hannebury, O'Keefe etc. he would most probably not be tagged. Also with Brandon Jack's first game Mitchell was never getting the vest.
